• Kung Fu Hustle [2005]

  Gary Morley 05 December 2005

  

  Kung Fu Hustle is a spectacular visual feast that combines fantasy and comedy with effects that blur the lines of reality.
  Set in a time that should be the past, in a wild-west town that could never exist, this film follows the struggle between the decent folk of a local housing estate, the thugs from the nearby city, the Axe Gang, and the heros that stand in their way.
  The music creates the perfect ambiance throughout the film and the choreography is impressively fast paced and rivals that of Jackie Chan's.
  This has got to be the natural progression for Live Action Anime movies that will be a hit the world over.

  Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. In Shanghai, China in the 1940s, a wannabe gangster aspires to join the notorious "Axe Gang" while residents of a housing complex exhibit extraordinary powers in defending their turf.

Set amid the chaos of pre-revolutionary China, small time thief, Sing (Stephen Chow), aspires to be one of the sophisticated and ruthless Axe Gang whose underworld activities overshadow the city. Stumbling across the 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. Sing's comical attempts at intimidation inadvertantly attract the Axe Gang into the fray, setting off a chain of events that brings the two disparate 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.
