Yeah! Another Stephen Chow flick! From what I've heard, it's just as good as Shaolin Soccer.

Thoughts?

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I've heard it's like Looney Tunes crossed with a martial arts film. I can't wait to see it. Shaolin Soccer was such a blatantly cheesy movie, and I can only imagine how cheesy they'll make this one intentionally for laughs.

Cheesy + Asian Films = Some pretty funny stuff.

Though the movie IS rated R, I will do my best to create a fake parent out of wood and a rock.

I already watched it and it's my favorite Stephen Chow movie to date. The reason for the R is that it's also his most violent movie to date. There's not really as much blood as there is bloodless limbs getting cut off except for a scene paying homage to The Shining

(It's pretty sad I'm the only one who laughed in the whole theatre in Jakarta because most likely I'm the only one who got the reference).

One thing for sure, it's more ANIME then looney tunes. Yes there's one or two scenes that are straight out a Roadrunner episode but the fight scenes are SO anime that you can just sit back go "wow".

Well, I loved it a lot, and I'm definitely watching it again with my mom when it comes out here ^^ Just be aware that the R is for violence of the chopping off limbs kind (mostly CG).

I gotta watch this when it comes here. I really enjoyed Shaolin Soccer, so this hould be funny. The previews were enough to pull me in. R? Well, if it's for that, my parents should let me watch it...we'll see!

So, I'm pretty much the only person on the thread who can legally see it alone?

I'm interested. I didn't like Shaolin Soccer, but this sounds more like my speed.

My philosophy professor actually recommended this movie to me.

Postby **oro!** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 8:48 am

What??? Your philosophy proffessor? Why?

Postby **CDLviking** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 10:22 am

Because he likes movies. I didn't say it had anything to do with philosophy.

This movie looks pretty cool I'm thinking about it. It comes out this week right?

Postby **That Dude** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 1:28 pm

I'd watch it but I don't think that it's out in Colorado Springs...Darn....

Postby **HikariChan** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 9:51 pm

It looks funny! Im gonna see it, no doubt about it~

Postby **Yojimbo** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 2:54 pm

Comes out everywhere the 22nd.

Postby **Locke** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 8:22 pm

Just saw it imported from ( Were else?) China and WOW.

Everything except the story is just...AWSOME.
fights are incredible, humor is off the top, and somehow it has a morale! o.0

The one thing that made it "eh" was the whole plot, [spoiler]goodguywhowantstobad storys are kinda eh in my book.[/spoiler]

Still, [spoiler]THE OLD LADY WHO RUNS THE JOINT IS A PERFECT REASON TO WATCH. remember the road runner lady? SHES AWSOME [/spoiler]

Has for the rating ( ARRR) [spoiler] mostly its just wacky disemberments lol, like heads twisting (Looney Tunes style).[/spoiler]

Hope no one got their day ruined...

I saw a trailer for it and I definitely want to see it. It looks incredible. And rather odd. Fortunately, I am over the age of 17 and don't need parental consent. I'm pretty sure my mother wouldn't like it.

Postby **Joshua Christopher** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 1:16 pm

Okay.

THREE good movies in a row? Can't be possible.

Last night I rented Ocean's 12, and Collateral. Today I go see KFH. If KFH is as good as I hope (and I'm sure it will be), I will have seen three great movies.

Postby **Locke** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 7:09 pm

I have to see Oceans 12.

heck, thanks for the tip, ima go rent it right now.

Postby **Ichigo_89** » Sun Apr 24, 2005 8:39 am

OMG, this movie is AWESOME!! I just saw it yesterday with my dad, and we couldn't stop cracking up! This one is even funnier than Shaolin Soccer!! A definate must-see and for sure will make you laugh out loud.

I've recently discovered the my freinds freinds uncle is in Kung Fu Hustle...Hes the character that hits the table to put the metal rings on his arms.

After watching the trailer and hearing so much about the director and he movie it self I may yet rent this once it comes out if possible I'll go to see in in theaters.

steven chow is the man.

Postby **TrigunX89** » Sun May 01, 2005 3:49 pm

I saw it last night. Yes, it was very cheesey, but funny though. I knew nothing about it beforehand, but I liked it. Oh yeah, I really didn't think it deserved its R rating.

I doubled over laughing during the knife scene, and the snakes finished it off perfectly.

Postby **TrigunX89** » Mon May 02, 2005 4:14 am

Yes, the knife seen was hilarious. Actually, there were a lot of funny/cool parts. I could have done without the roadrunner-type scenes though.

Postby **brightsword_jon** » Mon May 02, 2005 5:07 am

I've seen this movie too (in Chinese though) and it has some violent but funny scenes. Stephen Chow is soooo funny.

Postby **CDLviking** » Mon May 02, 2005 8:14 am

I haven't seen any dubs out for it. Besides, dubbing would ruin a few of the jokes.
