Kung Fu Hustle is a rare type of movie. It takes advantage of all the cheesy kung fu stuff in movies but does it in a way that never really takes itself seriously. It's hard to criticize the movie when its intentionally silly and stylized to be that way. In some ways it's like a live action anime that's actually good which itself isn't common.
There’s a movie where he falls in love with a wealthy girl and doesn’t know she has a retarded twin. That’s one of my favorite movies but I have no idea the name of it.
It is rare for me to actually laugh at the cinema, so often it just falls flat but Chow's work in Kung Fu Hustle genuinely cracks me up every time. I can't really say that for any other film.
I remember when this movie premiered in mainland China in 2004, it was winter. My girlfriend (now wife) and I were in university, we wanted to find a place to make out, so we randomly bought 2 tickets, didn't noticed it's a new movie called Kung Fu Hustle from Stephen Chow. Since it was daytime, the entire auditorium which could accommodate several hundred people, had only a few viewers besides the two of us, it should be a great place for young couple to make out and kill some time. Guess what, in the end, we didn't make out at all, instead we watched the entire movie without a blink, and laughed and cried from beginning to end. What a memory!
The writing for this film is amazing. You don't expect her to be a highly skilled martial artists. But she is. When you hear her shout here, you'll think she's just loud. But no. She's actually one and her loud voice is one of her martial arts.
0:39 omg this whole knife sequence keeps me in tears every rewatch 😭😭. And the almost authentic pain Chow displays when he whimpers "don't" 😂😂. So many classic scenes in this classic film.
The way his eyes just widen, and he calmly walks back after the knife goes into his shoulder is hilarious. I think it seems a little authentic because people do act strange after going into shock and a knife to the shoulder can do just that.
In my 37 years of watching funny movies this movie by far the serve the Oscar Award. I was in a hospital while watching this movie and man this movie heal me ❤
The genius of the comedy cannot be undercut because it all starts off from throwing knives. You get blindsided by a lot of the jokes, but then it jumps immediately to the chase scene where the knives STILL play a part.
I like how this scene actually forshadows him being really powerful, with him taking severe injuries and just be annoyed by it, and being able to outrun the Landlady.
@@TrueLegateDamar at first you just excuse it as this movie's logic, but then it becomes a call-back when his friend literally asks about it after the chase scene, then you start to wonder
Hell, he being able to compete with landlady speed was also a foreshadowing. People think that this whole chasing sequences was just for comedic effect but turns out they really do run very fast. There's also one with the beast where he got punched right on his face, yet he was still alive enough to "tap" him one more time, got punched even more until the ground caved in and yet still alive, where in next scene it was shown just one slap from the beast can easily kill ordinary man. Those foreshadowings are really great.
IKR? That was decadent silliness! When was the last time an action movie decided to literally parody Looney Tunes? OMG when she hit the sign and slid down….it finished me.
@@Emiichoco some interviews he got mention... Also I remembered in one of his movies, "Flirting Scholar" (if I'm not mistaken), he uses 'Kamehameha' wave... Lol
@@Emiichoco He actually big fan of Dr Slump, watch the scene from All's Well End Well where he hanged up by his girlfriend and his brother's mistress asked him to sing Dr Slump intro, of course in Mandarin version.
I remember my mother calling me in to watch this scene before she had even finished watching it. Traditionally, she has VERY little patience for movies and will fastfoward just to watch the end. We must have replayed this scene alone dozens of times, and she laughed harder and harder each time.
I always keep dying at the part when the fat one was confused about the handle of the knife, took the knife out of his arm and put it back in after he felt sorry. 😂🤣😭😭💀💀 Makes me laugh regardless of how many times I’ve watched this movie. 💀💀
1:00 part, hes actually asking him how do you feel, instead of asking you okay? Stephen Chow proceed to reply him saying that i feels that you should get closer and take better aim. The whole conversation is trying to show that Sing is very mad at his dumbness but controlling his anger and continue telling him to throw the knife again........(you can see from Sing eyes that saying WTF when looking at the fat guy then proceed to tell him to aim better 🤣🤣)
If anime was film in real-life, this would be it. Any westerners who want to make a movie based on anime, seek advice from Stephen Chow. Dude is a hardcore fans of Dragon Ball Z.
@@evenhsufly yeah he is the producer, he didn't direct or write the script. Also according to him in an interview, most (if not all) of his feedbacks were rejected, even Chi Chi role, Chow has a different actress in mind. Make of that what you will.
This movie is something interesting. I watched it dubbed to my language, and the dub actors took a twist with the dubbing, giving the characters different regional accents from my country, as well as different puns, which made the movie funny as hell.
I've watched this movie ever since it came out, and it's still hilarious. There's so much comedic stuff to unpack, this movie really knew how to apply cartoon comedy into it. The sad music playing the moment he hit himself with the knife like he's dying, masterpiece.
I remember watching this movie in theatre. It was just me, my dad, brother and one dude in the front. When this scene came up we four were laughing hysterically.
after so many years this scene still very funny. the moment stephen got stabbed twice already hilarious and then comes the 3rd stab that nobody expected really made me died laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Me and my friends watched this in cinema. I swear there was never a time when the audience stopped laughing. We all had fun and we clapped at the end of the film.
I remember watching this movie with father in '10s when he is still alive and im 10 uo at that time,and it was so full of fun memories. it makes me smile when i saw this clip on my feed in rememberance of those those days 😅😅
I thought my friend was actually going to pass out in the theater when this scene came on. He laughed so hard and long that I honestly got worried. Just great comedy!

It's just like my life.

absolutely amazing memory
Someone didn’t get laid that night because they still talking about scenes of the movie 🤣🤣🤣
Ok.

Also the "road runner" chase. It actually show their hidden kungfu skill, not just comical scene out of nowhere
Some kind of Chekov gun or the clue
Lion roar
The lion's roar
She actually learnt martial art with Jackie Chan under the same master. Her husband in the movie also.

only stephen chow can make a ridiculous jokes and still ace the movie. legend
The look on his face when the snakes fall is priceless gets me every time 😂
He was like "bro, really?" 😂😂
he looked like a disappointed father 😂
His expressions over the knife affair and his fat friend's silliness is just pure gold. I couldn't breathe the first time I watched XD
1:32 made me laugh so hard 😂
I miss movies like this! Simple and funny. Bless you all. Love from UK
“Sorry!” *sticks knife back in his arm!

This film gets better after you watch it the “nth” time. I never get tired of it.
The genius of the comedy cannot be undercut because it all starts off from throwing knives. You get blindsided by a lot of the jokes, but then it jumps immediately to the chase scene where the knives STILL play a part.
The way he just stabs the knife back lol.😂😂😂
I like how this scene actually forshadows him being really powerful, with him taking severe injuries and just be annoyed by it, and being able to outrun the Landlady.
It also foreshadows the landlady's Lion's Roar
@@TrueLegateDamar at first you just excuse it as this movie's logic, but then it becomes a call-back when his friend literally asks about it after the chase scene, then you start to wonder
I saw this in theaters. Completely lost it on that third knife! 😂😆😂
Please tell theater reaction 😅
The fact that he didn't die after bitten by 2 cobras at his lips kinda foreshadows that he has super strength.
Same with landlady jumped over the truck effortlessly.
Hell, he being able to compete with landlady speed was also a foreshadowing. People think that this whole chasing sequences was just for comedic effect but turns out they really do run very fast. There's also one with the beast where he got punched right on his face, yet he was still alive enough to "tap" him one more time, got punched even more until the ground caved in and yet still alive, where in next scene it was shown just one slap from the beast can easily kill ordinary man.
Those foreshadowings are really great.
It's the knife stabs & cobra bites that awakened his hidden strength, that came from a mysterious book in the earlier scene.
@@radixwp6789 The more abuse he takes the stronger he gets, he's kinda like Goku.
Also the landlord and landlady said they had a child. I think he is their son. He didn't die when they thought he did
The "Looney Tunes" style chase scene was what did me in.
IKR? That was decadent silliness! When was the last time an action movie decided to literally parody Looney Tunes? OMG when she hit the sign and slid down….it finished me.
Looney Tunes is exactly what I was thinking.
Movie critics says that this movie is like looney tunes and kill bill mixed together.
2:48 ahhaa now I understand from where the idea of bullet train came up 🤣🤣
Stephen Chow A brilliant Director and Actor. One of a Gem.
1:38: " Are you trying to say something?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good old times,even now king fu hustle still test the limits of viewers life by suffocating us with laughter.
one of the best comedic scenes ever. chow nailed it.
this clip is missing the music during the running scene...
The only movie where the director knew how to adapt anime in live action
i remember read this comics book, its called budish palm hero or something,
Fun fact: Stephen Chow is a big fan of Dragon Ball, all of the fighting scenes in this movie inspired by that anime...

using the knife as a rearview mirror always gets me
I hope i could forget this movie and rewatch this again. The feeling of watching this the first time is so nostalgic.
The *pop* after she slides off the billboard is hilarious!
this movie is truly a masterpiece
I laughed so hard when first time I saw it.
The dialogues the acting and on top of that the music. Stephen chow is no.1 in unique comedy.
I remember my mother calling me in to watch this scene before she had even finished watching it. Traditionally, she has VERY little patience for movies and will fastfoward just to watch the end. We must have replayed this scene alone dozens of times, and she laughed harder and harder each time.
