"Kung Fu Hustle" is a movie for those who like their Kung Fu films as over the top as possible. This film succeeds in introducing every Kung Fu and Wuxia cliché imaginable and makes fun of them as often as it can. The cast of characters is wonderfully cartoony as is much of the comedy.

On the other hand the film has a very severe story which helps it cling on to credibility. Unfortunately it also leads to the film's rather sluggish ending.

I'm tempted to say that this is the Hong Kong equivalent to "Kill Bill" but it's not as gory or even that serious. It's still an excellent movie by any measure.
