4/23 Kung Fu Hustle: OH MY GOD!
Why are you still reading this? Go watch the movie now! NOW!
\_ I was amused by the homage, especially to the Buddhist Palm. On
its own as a movie it was weak.
\_ You have no soul.
\_ I like how the main character smashes the soccer ball.
It's greate on the big screen, but I also bought
a legal dvd of it in oakland chinatown weeks ago. -danh
\_ seconded. \_ OMG! WTF! legal? I rented an illegal copy of it
from my chinese dvd renter, and copied it.
\_ seconded.

\_ shaolin soccer was better
\_ shaolin soccer is one of the best comedies EVAR
\_ Shaolin Soccer was also Chow's first attempt to steer away from
his usual dirty-joke comedies,although those were very funny too.
\_ I liked them both, but I think pound for pound KFH delivered the
goods.
\_ KFH was all over the place. Shaolin Soccer was close
to perfection. Then again, I'm Asian.
\_ And I'm a geeky fanboy of martial arts films. So what?
I probably got more of the obscure references, but the
real enjoyment for me was how tightly the film adhered
to the mantra: show, don't tell.
\_ Agree with pp. Shalin Soccer was a finished product.
The acting in Kung Fu Hustle was half-assed, as well as
the storyline. The action and special effects were good,
but I couldn't shake the feeling of it being unfinished
product through the whole movie. I think if they really
tried, they could've made it into an awesome movie.
\_ I'll be the first to say that I saw Shaolin Soccer with a
bunch of friends who loved it and said I *HAD* to see it.
Since I love kung fu movies and soccer it was a sure hit.
Not. I found it painfully boring for the most part. The best
thing about it is the title.
\_ who are you, so I can not be your friend?
\_ your expectations were raised too high. oh well.
\_ seconded.
\_ I don't know about your god, but it was definitely fun and different.

\_ I like Chow's "Made-In-China 007". |
