I've been lucky enough to watch Kung Fu Hustle twice now in a theater and it is my favorite film of the the last year. For those of you who are wanting to watch a martial arts film in the vein of Flying Daggers you will most likely be disappointed. This film is to Martial Arts what Star Wars was to Sci Fi movies, Raiders of the Lost Ark was to Action Flicks and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre was to Horror, ahead of the curve and able to be appreciated on many levels. It's incredible humor,special effects and great performances make it a true surprise that delivers something new with each viewing. I applaud Stephen Chows work and hope that those who attend future screenings will be open to an experience much more fulfilling than just a "Kung Fu" film.
