I just loved this movie; it has a simple but well driven story. Stephen Chow talent is imminent not only because he has written, directed and acted in this motion picture but also because he, like me, is a lover of kung Fu movies.

Asia has produced some amazing movies in the last years, some of them I considered masterpieces, (like OldBoy, Hero or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) and others are as entertaining and thrilling as a roller- coaster (like ONG-BAK) and now, Kung-Fu Hustle, which is going to make you smile forever, I couldn't stop laughing while I was watching it.

Stephen chow's character (Sing) is desperate to be accepted by the most evil gang that ruled Shanghai in the 40's, the notorious "Axe Gang" which is formed by guys dressed in black suits. Although he wants to be a bad man, and doing bad things, everything goes wrong every time he try it, mostly because he doesn't know how to fight or how to make a mayhem action, because deep inside him he is pure. So in his search for becoming an evil man he gets into a small housing little village where lives humble people, and he tried to blackmail a young hairdresser and here is where the good action begins. The first turn in the movie comes when three great Kung Fu masters, who had lived, uncovered among the humble people shows his power to defend the people in the village. Then the Axe Gang leader hired two great Kung-Fu assassins to take revenge on the people of the village.

This movie has many hilarious moments; one of my favorites is when the landlord (after he and the landlady shows their real power in the second big turn of the movie) is talking with one of the almost dead fighter after defeat the two assassins and he speak in English stealing the Sean Connery's line at end The Untouchables of Brian De Palma, when Malone tells to Eliot Ness: "WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO!" and then the landlord tell him "why are you talking in English".

The fights are awesome, very well choreographed, of course by the master 'Yuen Woo-Ping', best known for his collaboration in the Matrix saga.

The subplot story of Sing and his love interest is simply wonderful, though they never talk each other the looks and the flashback are enough to create a beautiful love story. Just like a Chaplin movie. As I said before, I just loved this movie. You should see it!
