They all have nice suits and silly Abe Lincoln stovepipe hats and they dance around all weird. This is the Axe Gang, the villains of the movie.

They walk out of the station with confidence, only to find a dude with awful teeth and his hundreds of minions. It’s the Crocodile Gang, and they’re trying to extort the police for money. We start in a police station where some dude is throwing cops around, smashing them into walls and whatnot.

The plot isn’t that complicated or nuanced, because this movie is about fun, but here’s my summary. That’s not even counting the fact that at several points I got so engrossed in the fun that I realized I forgot to note plot points. How ridiculous and fast-paced was this movie? For One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which was a long movie and a painfully long review, I took a page and a half of notes on my little pocket notebook. By about the halfway point, the characters are doing stuff straight out of Looney Tunes. This happens in the second scene of Kung Fu Hustle. Imagine if you took the most over-the-top, ridiculous action scene from a karate movie. If you don’t want any spoilers but just my general opinion of the movie, go to the very last paragraph. Huh? Nothing! I knew nothing about this movie! Check out what I found out under the cut. Things I knew about this movie beforehand: I decided to just wait until tonight to post the review. I hope that’s an okay thing? In the case of foreign language stuff, I usually prefer to watch it with subtitles but I really had no choice.Īfter resigning myself to watch the dub, my Internet cut out for a couple of days. I looked everywhere- brick and mortar stores, streaming services, b ack-alley pirate markets, everywhere– and I still couldn’t find a version of this movie that is in the original Chinese with subtitles. Before I start, let me note the reason I didn’t review this movie last weekend.
