#23 – Kung Fu Hustle
40 Points, 4 Lists, #4 Pak Man
In the world of kung fu, speed defines the winner.
Sing is a low level criminal in the Axe Gang, a criminal organization who wield axes. After a childhood experiences that causes him to believe there is no justice, he works hard to climb the ladder and his first goal is victimizing a rundown tenement called Pig Sty. However, Sing is shocked to learn that Pig Sty is filled with powerful martial artists and accidentally gets the Axe Gang involved in a war with working class kung fu masters. Things escalate beyond Sing’s expectations, especially when he’s asked to unleash the Beast. Which is to say, to release the world’s deadliest assassin from a mental asylum. Will Pig Sty fall to the Beast? Or will a bizarre miracle of fate intervene.
BTW, Stephen Chow has been promising a sequel for years. MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Shit Just Got Real! – Well, I don’t want to say too much about the last act, but when the Beast enters the picture, things get even crazier.
Pure Adrenaline Percentage –80% If it’s martial arts you are looking for, you will get them here. There’s also a lot of wacky slapstick, too.
