Average Rating: (See all 12 reviews) Format: DVD (MA) Ships within 6-11 days Set amid the chaos of pre-revolutionary China, small time thief Sing (Stephen Chow) aspires to be a member of the sophisticated and ruthless Axe Gang, whose underworld activities overshadow the city. Stumbling across a crowded apartment complex aptly known as Pig Sty Alley, Sing attempts to extort money from one of the ordinary locals, but the neighbours are not what they appear to be. Sing's comical attempts at intimidation inadvertently attract the Axe Gang into the battle, setting off a chain of events that brings the two conflicting worlds face-to-face. As the inhabitants of the Pig Sty fight for their lives, the ensuing clash of kung fu titans unearths some legendary martial arts masters. Sing, despite his futile attempts, lacks the soul of a killer and must face his own mortality in order to discover the true nature of the kung fu master. Synopsis Set in Canton, China in the 1940s, the story revolves around a hapless wannabe gangster who aspires to become a member of the notorious "Axe Gang." Other characters include an obnoxious landlady and her apparently frail husband who exhibit extraordinary powers in defending their turf.

I was not really a big fan of this film when I fist saw it, but the more times I watched it I found it hilarious and it quickly became one of my favourites. the knife scene always makes me cringe and the way he gets bit by the snake, forget it. the fighting sences are very slick and seem to have a John Woo infulence. 10 out of 10 for me.

One day when A-xing goes into a slum, Pig Cage Town, to do his usual extortion, he witnesses a real clash between two gangs: the Axe Gang is clearing out a local gang that has not shown allegiance to the Axe. A-xing realizes the slum residents -- including the plump landlady and her skinny and wimpy-looking husband -- have each turned into kung-fu masters to fight against the large group of gangs.

From kung fu showdowns to dance sequences featuring tuxedoed mobsters, you've never seen martial arts action this outrageous! With jaw-dropping fight sequences by Yeun Wo Ping (famed action choreographer of Kill Bill Vol.1 & 2 and The Matrix) Kung Fu Hustle will blow you away! Chow's movie is set in 1940s Guangdong Province, China. Chow plays Ah-xing, a street rascal who fools around constantly. He is good at talking glibly, but at the core he is feeble-minded and stuck in poverty with an unknown future. So, it doesn't look good for A-xing at the beginning of the movie.

In the wildly imaginative and action-packed Kung Fu Hustle, petty thief Sing (Stephen Chow) aspires to be a ruthless gangster. Stumbling across a gang-controlled apartment to extort money from the locals who are actually kung fu masters in disguise. Sing's actions attracts the notorious Axe Gang, and set off a relentless chain of events that brings the clans together in an explosive battle.

this movie is absolutely hilarious! the first time that I saw it I couldnt not contain my laughter! though, i must admit that the humour is a little bit more for teenagers, and possibly the occasional(male) adult, lol. this is a definatley a film that you want your young childrent to be watching. but is is definatley something that I would reccomend to teenagers! super funny

So so so, funny! Yet incredibly violent! With this movie you see a lot of blood, so not for the faint hearted. Absolutely delicious characters, that you can't get enough of, and lovely under dog story, with a sweet -no pun intended- ending! If you enjoy martial arts and comedy, this is a must see.

This is a very funny movie not too sure whats it about it just cracks me up watching the running lady and the ax crew this is a very very humerous movie if you want to laught get this out its all ways a goody if your feeling down and you want to see people to impossible things yet funny as hell. I would give this movie a A ++++ just cos its a crack up of a movie and cant get enough of it what a awsome movie.

Love it, You have to see this is you like the under dog winning. And you have to hunt out his very early movies too, 'From Beijing with Love' ( James Bond spin off)
'Forbidden City Cop' (period set China adventure where his an Empiral Gaurd to the Empire) and of course ' Shoalin Soccer'
Chow here doesnt fail to deliver a hilarious, some times p*ss take on other movies film. He has is old favourite actors in here with him and some we known Hong Kong legendary actors too. Modern Slap-Stick at its greatest.

Kung Fu Hustle is the weirdest but probably the best fantasy martial arts movie I’ve ever seen. The style is almost bugs bunny, the moves are from some computer game like Final Fantasy and the story is classic kung fu cinema. Stephen Chow is a real artist when it comes to making this sort of movie.

if you like kung fu or fighting movies, particularly asian inspired ones, then you need to check out kung fu castle. to be honest, it wasn't really my cup of tea but i know people who like thses sorts of movies and they really like this one. check it out if you are a fan of the genre.
