    [Highly rated reviewer]

    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.

    I am a huge fan of this film. It doesnt take itself seriously and is really fun. Some of the fight schenes are fantastic and it has a good story behind it as well. I must see for any Kung Fu fans.

    Weird ..... sort of blood-thirsty comedy...not normally something I enjoy....but there were odd moments, crazy moments and about a third of the way through I realised it was meant to be a sort of black comedy.......kept me watching...anything could have happened....and all a bit fanciful but it came down, in the end, to the good v evil stuff....on a grand style....

    Highly entertaining and quite innovative in parts. If you want something light and a bit daft to pass the time this is a good choice: kung fu cartoon like capers...

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    Watched parts of this film before so rented it out to watch it finally from start to finish. Was not dissapointed.

    A brilliant tongue in cheek film.

    Very funny and love the land lords, the chain smoking woman and the smooth talking husband.

    The special effects brilliant, a must see movie

  • colourful horror

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer , 27 Oct 2011
    excellent diabolical special effects and stunts, funny in some places but with very strong issues dealt with and exposed. i had actually watched it before but forgot to delete from my rent list so it got sent to me again but having said that i did not pay much attention to it the first time.

    very morbid could be categorized as a horror movie with a plot so unpredictable that you would want to see the end to fully make sense of it.
