    High energy, visually witty comedy that is close in style to Looney Tunes cartoons. Its approach is a mix of tongue in cheek and fist in the stomach, as it both parodies martial arts movies and stages some spectacular battles of its own.

  • ...invigorating, bombastic, out-there and very funny, Kung Fu Hustle pummels The Matrix trilogy into a puddle.

    Brilliant way to spend an hour and a half

    Having been rather disappointed by Stephen Chow's 'Shaolin Soccer' my expectations for KFH were not that high, but this is a vastly superior film.

    The merging of comedy and action is nothing new but few films manage to combine the two so successfully. The film is full of stunning set pieces, great slapstick and numerous homages to many different films. What cinema was made for.

    2 hours well spent

    Without a doubt this is one of my favourite kung fu films ever. This film has everything for a fan of the genre, some of it is over the top (ala looney tunes) but it just works. The cinematography is slick, plotline entertaining & also very funny, this is a classic style comedy kung fu film making good use of the technology now available.
