my real deal on Kung Fu Hustle
First off,im not an expert on movies.Neither am i an expert on Kung Fu.In fact,come to think about it,im not an expert on anything,except in the one exception that i have the uncanny ability the spout cuss words(cantonese,english,chinese) none stop.I'm not proud of the fact that i can speak a whole complete sentence at top speed with 70% foul words(it's true,try me),but hey,you try doing that.The only persons i know that can top that is Fei Hing and L.Dogg(shout outs to y'all,watup),so if u ever piss me off,you know what's comin' at ya.Now that i think about it,i do consider myself an expert in some thing else:memorising dialogue from Stephen Chau movies!And again,the only person that can top that is Fei Hing(mad props to ya),and i'll be damned if another living person shares that same interest.
But back to the matter at hand.I'm sure most of you have already watch Kung Fu Hustle, the action comedy starring Stephen Chau Sing Chi,one of my all time favorite actors.since I assume that most of you that are reading this posting had watch this movie(I 've seen it twice in the cinema),I won't bother to summarize the plot here,and for those who haven't seen it,shame on you,you are not fit to be a human being,so just go bang your head on the kitchen wall.It seems to me that,after so many years and so many movies and so many roles he had played(brother,son,cop,undercover cop,student,spy,chef,waiter,actor,hooligan,martial arts expert,gambler,monkey god, snooker player,etc),its safe to say that 80% of his movies have two universal underlying themes:good truimphs over evil,and small time wannabe/underdog/bully victim finally becomes a 'somebody'.Think about it for a second.It's true,and for those who do not agree,well,you're wrong(lolx).It's no exception in Kung Fu Hustle,where a wannabe gangster who was previously bullied wanna make it big in the underworld,then finally comes to his senses and becomes a good guy.Overall,the movie was good,the dialogue was,as expected,painfully funny and sharp,the timing was just right and precise to a dot.The supporting actors gave top notch performances,especially the bao zhou po'(landlady),she practically steals the show from Stephen.The other characters living in pigsty alley are zanily funny and rib-tickling,and the interection between each person is lively.Furthermore,the characters in it seemed 'real',therefore we can really sympathize with them(especially the part which tells of his childhood and him gettin bullied and pissed on,literally),the 'big brother Sum' is also quite convincing,even though I can still remember his face from shaolin soccer,with that Bruce Lee sneer,in this movie he is almost rendered unrecognizable.The special effects are amazing,although I must admit it was a bit too much seeing Stephen and the landlady running around like cartoon characters(road runner and Wile.E.Coyote,anyone?)..and there are some parts that I would rather see be real kung fu instead of special effects,heck even the old wire-hanging-trick would do quite well.in his recent movies,stephen chau has rely on a lot of his crew,that's why you can see many familiar faces from shaolin soccer to appear in this movie,and it's really a plus,it gives a feeling of seeing an 'old friend', also most of those characters are really interesting or just plain outrageous.The funniest guy in the movie must be that slanty eyed,greasy haired guy wit a moustache and half his butt showing,there's a scene where's he's squatting on the floor takin' a crap,lolx.The fighting sequence are amazing(check out the the 2 blind guys with the Gu Zheng,literally blew me away),but as mention before,less CGI please.
even though overall the movie was amazing,it still suffers one major flaw:STEPHEN CHAU.Since his first stint as a director(god of cookery,if im not mistaken),nearing the end of each movie he directs there will be some really ridiculously super duper fuckin big mess up in the plot,for instance:in the god of cookery,he suddenly turns out to be a god from the heavens, in king of comedy,he becomes an undercover workin for the police,and in shaolin soccer,half the goddamn field is gone with the goal.in kung fu,in the final showdown with the Beast('fo wun che san',what kind of name is that?),he flies toward the sky and suddenly,a cloud changes shape to form that of the Buddha.When I saw that scene, i nearly choke myself to death on my Cheezels. I mean,what the fuck??!!It totally ruin the mood.I think most of you would agree with me(and if you dont,you are wrong and ignorant,) on this one.I know it is suppose to be a 'mou lei tou'(nonsene) film,but try to up the standard a little bit.So Mr. Stephen Chau,next time better improve on your plot,or else i'm comin to your house and show you what 'kung fu' really means.
At the end of it all,I would give it an 8 out of 10.As I had said earlier,this is purely my opinion,as I'm not an expert on movies...but neither are you.Haha.
