Gong Fu / Kung Fu Hustle is a comedy action movie made out of different genres like western, martial arts and slapstick and mixed together in an amusing mix. Genres are imitated, genres are spoofed. It takes on a simple film cliché and takes a twist on it. That's where all the fun comes from here. And from the many reference to other movies.

The action scenes are great as they are choreographed by Woo-ping Yuen from The Matrix. We have adequate fight scenes, but Chow even makes some fun of the seriousness of these.

Of course this is all form and no substance except for the mild social criticism. But it is still delightful entertainment. If just all movies that try to entertain in a simple way would be like this.
