General Comments

I've never been a huge fan of Martial Arts movies and only caught this one on a bored Wednesday evening, and glad I am that I did.

Visually stunning, Kung Fu Hustle blends the wire acrobatics and fight scenes of the 'Crouching Tiger..', 'Hero'genre with the CGI of the Hollywood's 'Matrix' style movies (take a listen to the background music to the bigger fight scenes and look about for the black clad gangsters flying through air) The story may be predictable but when the focus is on huge fight scenes and gag after gag, trying to follow a tightly knitted plot isn't high on the agenda.

Can't recommend this film highly enough.
