In Chinese culture - and I'm sure in many others - you can refer to people as sister/brother/auntie/uncle as a sign of respect and as part of the hierarchy. You don't need to be related. Shaolin Soccer is an obvious one to check out next, but the best Stephen Chow film is probably A Chinese Odyssey.
The knife scene will ALWAYS crack me up no matter how many times i see it! It's one of the few things my brother and i share, we'll be 70 and still laugh talking about it i swear😂
Fun fact, the axe gang dance at the beginning was one of the hardest shots they did in the whole film, as getting it to look perfect and in sync was a pain
@@IamNinjaOfNinja It was a last minute add suggested by the actor who played the gang boss. Most probably weren't even professional dancers you usually see doing film dances.
Widely considered the Looney Tunes equivalent of kung fu films. It's literally a live action cartoon. And it's the gold standard for how filmmakers should represent anime fights in live action. It's such a timeless gem.
The landlord's name is Yuen Wah. He played the role of the old man in Tao Lo in the movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Additionally, the Kung Fu Hustle movie poster was visible in Shang-Chi's bedroom. Finally, the ten rings in the movie were portrayed as armbands/bracelets instead of finger rings as depicted in the comic book and were worn by the tailor character in Kung Fu Hustle.
i was told that was because coolie's kungfu is more of muscle, less chi, aka less sensitive, lowest level among those three, so he didnt even realise those two killers were there. and when the 10ring tailor was pulled out of his shop, he at least was able to spot that music, and noticed the killer immediately.
@annaliu908 I feel that he had to be taken out quick from far because he is too dangerous to deal with hand to hand, face to face. The other not so blind guy will probably lose to Coolie if so. I hated they film it this way and people assume Coolie is the weakest. He was not given a chance to fight back at all while the other 2 had the chance to anticipate
@@EguchiGzone bruh. guy on the left just always gives me dead eyes, it's uncanny valley galore. And seems out of it. "that guy is the beast" when we're in the final scene with the old homeless man trying to setup a silly sequel with a new kid... "what are you talking about " - "that's the beast when he was young" me: BRO, what are you smoking? this is currently happening in present time, 5 seconds ago. that being said: it looks like he might have tourrette's or something? If so, I'm not trying to be rude to his condition, it's just something very noticeable for new comers. If it's not a medical issue, then I still ask : what are you smoking right before recording, it's like soulless dead eyes with no glint of life in those eyes, vacant lot in there.
The instrument/weapon those guys were playing is called a Guqin (Goo-Kin), which is a Chinese Zither. It often shows up as a musical weapon in Chines Wuxia films and shows.
I wonder what the boys would think of "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000)"? It was nominated for 10 Oscars, and winning 4 that year. Also Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere) & Zhang Ziyi (Rush Hour 2) are the leads! ☺🗡💪
House of flying daggers is also another good kung fu movie that is the classic Chinese film from 80s that uses a lot of wire fu. Also movie hero starring jet li is also a classic.
This one of my absolute favorites. I’m always really moved at the end when he turns his adversary into a friend by simply saying, “I can teach you.” The Beast recognizes he has so much to learn outside of hatred & violence. Hence his emotional response. Such beautiful sentiment in a crazy movie. There’s more power in the open hand than in the closed fist. 💜💜
This is one of my dads favorite movies. I’ve watched this movie so many times. He used to watch the Old Lady’s scenes in slow mo & crack up for SO long. 😂
This is one of my favourite movies. I can rewatch this over and over again. I always find little things that I missed from previous watches. I still feel sad that the first three king fu masters died. Loved this movie
I saw this film when it came outing American theaters in 2004. I've probably watched it over 50 times since then. One of the great comedy movies of all time in my opinion because the action sequences are actually good! Great blend of humor, drama, character arcs and violence.
The woman at the beginning is not his sister. Calling him Big Brother is an honorific. You'll also hear words like Auntie, Uncle, Grandma and Grandpa, but the people are related. It's just a respectful title.
One of the principles of kung fu is to not take a life, it’s more defensive and or spiritual. That’s why the good guys don’t kill using kung fu, only the villains do.
No matter how many times I've watched this show & I've watched this a ton (Been a fan of HK cinema since early 90s & Stephen Chow was King of Comedy!), that knife & snake scene gets me in stitches EVERY DAMN TIME.
this movie is like live action anime, the fights, the "powers" they have, it's just literally just fighting styles that these people are masters of, my favorites are the three from the village, beautiful fights.
thank you for watching this film, guys. stephen chow ('the one') is the equivalent of a hollywood comedic legend like adam sandler. when i grew up in the 90s in asia, he was already the leading guy in a few famous hk comedic films. someone said the guy who plays the landlord is also a legend, his filmography is insane. he was in the shang chi film. the landlady is a veteran actor too. if in the future you're interested in watching another gem, most people would recommend you watch 'shaolin soccer'. some actors from this film were in it too (ala adam sandler). happy birthday to ROB. and a happy Christmas to you lads.
zaff : "look like a harry potter". robs : 😒 ( boombastic side eye) zaff always looking soo tired in every reaction. and he's soo random and naturally funny 😂 and bryce make you love him more and more in every reaction 🙃
Stephen Chow has a lot of iconic movies that are famous with my parents generation like god of gambler, flirting scholar, the god of cookery, the mad monk, royal tramp, fight back to school and ofc Shalin soccer
@@JoC-l2h both of my parents are in their 60s now. My dad love Stephen's movies a lot, he always collecting them and I always watch with him when I was little
In the movies, there a lot of movie references like road runner and the scene when the landlady was threatening the axe gang leader was also from a Bruce lee’s movie called way of the dragon 33:19
This was my first video I watched, but I went back and watched like a half dozen others on your channel, and I have to say I am BLOWN AWAY by the guy in the middle's transformation. Short hair and a hat make this dude look like a total Chad. I went back to previous videos and realized he's used to look like the biggest nerd of them all. Crazy to me how different he looks. Keep it up dude, you look great. You made me consider cutting my own long hair.
your guy on the left killed this watch for me. his nonintrest in the movie made me feel like why am I watching this movie... reaction... his hand touched his face atleast 15 times before the movie even started.
It's Chinese custom to addressed someone/strangers close to your age as big brother or big sisters. And those that are older as uncle and auntie and the elderlies as grandpa and grandma out of respect.
Coolie is not a name. It's the term used for porters who lift heavy stuff. The Brits called all the natives coolies in their colonies. It's become a racist and derogatory term now in places that were colonies previously. So if you called an African that, it's the same as the N word. Though it's used in Asia to address porters in general.
When we watch this in theater back then we knew who the main character is cause we all knew Stephen Chow. He is big in Asia. But seeing Americans watching this blindly, yeah you might get confused who is the main character here.
The One was broken when he was a kid. Being a naive and good person just got him pissed on and beaten up. So he's trying so hard to become a bad guy. A con. But since he's really good at heart, he's just really bad on being bad. The forceful laugh when he rob the girl for the first time is a subtle hint that he's really faking it being a bad heartless monster. When beast got him near death, his chi flow opened. He's got the clarity and content to his full potential. Anyway, great video guys. I've been watching so many reactions to this movie, you're the only one remember the frog foreshadowing in the asylum. Nice Also, did you tried react to Shaolin Soccer yet? It's a must after Kung Fu Hustle. It's the early movie from the same guy, Stephen Chow, on writing and directing. It's the cult classic. The scene in Kung Fu Hustle movie when he's destroyed kids' soccer ball? It's a reference to Shaolin Soccer, which is so good, the fans demanding sequel for years. So he's answering with this scene in which he said, "No more soccer!"
If you can noticed. All kung fu characters always shown you their skill in funny scene such as the landlord didn't get injured when fall from his room or his wife can made people yelling by her voice or the protagonist stomped the ball.
"I watched Karate Kid, so I know a bit about Kung Fu" is a helluva statement. But yeah, Shaolin Soccer is the next logical one to try. It's the previous film by the same guy (who btw, is the main character, the writer, and the director)
Most of the big characters are big kung fu stars of old. The gay tailor and the assassin musician guy with the nails that was fighting him in his store are old action stars. The latter worked with Jackie Chan in some films. The landlord and landlady are pretty similar, old martial arts stars, the landlady actress even put on weight just for this role. The guy playing Coolie, the guy with the kick style, is also a somewhat well known stuntman and martial artist, he’s in many films as a supporting actor. Stephen Chow has a crew of actors that you see in all of his movies, the fat guy is one of them, as well as the two leaders of the axe gang. Most interesting though is the story of the actor who plays the Beast. This was his return role to acting after decades. He is an action / martial arts actor who fell out of favour with the communist party in china so he was pretty much banned from starring in movies, missing his prime as a result, and Stephen Chow invited him to do this film which kickstarted his acting career again.
Theres so much to it Landlady? Yuen Qiu. Was a Bond Girl in The Man with the Golden Gun. Same master as Jackie Chan/Sammo Hung/Yuen Wah as one of the Seven Little Fortunes. Landlord? Most recently in Legend Shang Chi. Also one of the Seven Little Fortunes. The Beast? Bruce Leung. 70's Martial Art film legend, one of the Four Dragons. Who else? Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Tailor? Chiu Chi Ling. Hung Gar master, has his own school in the US, acted alongside a number of big names. Coolie? Xing Yu. Shaolin Monk. Donut? Dong Zhihua, trained in peking opera. Heck, even the first gangster who got killed, the second in command at axe gang, blind killers, etc... All people known within the HK industry. It was really a whos who..
Coolie and fairy are nicknames, insulting ones at that, not the characters actual names. Coolie is an insult for calling someone lazy and calling Donut "fairy" is basically the landlord calling Donut gay.
I can't remember if you guys have watched the MCU movie Shang Chi, but the Landlord in this movie is the Archery teacher in that movie. Shang Chi even has a Kung-Fu Hustle poster in his room.
that little boy is such a great actor; he was not getting peed on and still made the face that you recognised. See Avatar, get that kid to do it, and...

Please (re)watch Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon sometime!
Big brother just a nickname for someone older, doesn't mean he's a sibling
Try react The raid or the night come for us ..thank you
totally recommend Donnie Yen's action movie, like Ip Man series(wing chun kung fu), SPL killzone and flashpoint (both are MMA styled fight)
most of them are real fighter in real life. It's a true kung fu movie.
In Chinese culture - and I'm sure in many others - you can refer to people as sister/brother/auntie/uncle as a sign of respect and as part of the hierarchy. You don't need to be related.
Shaolin Soccer is an obvious one to check out next, but the best Stephen Chow film is probably A Chinese Odyssey.
"that was his sister" 😂
OMG the Chinese Odyssey is such a classic, one of my fav from Stephen Chow
Shaolin soccer next😂
sup bro
Don't forget Chow's version of Journey to the West. He may not be in it, but it's still one of his best films.
One of the funniest and craziest martial arts action comedy movies ever made
and the movie still had a heart
Shaolin Soccer is even better IMO
*the not one
It’s simply one of the best movies ever made
The knife scene will ALWAYS crack me up no matter how many times i see it! It's one of the few things my brother and i share, we'll be 70 and still laugh talking about it i swear😂
I'm in my 30s and so are my 3 bros. We always laugh at that scene 🤣🤣
@defjam137 same. Me and best friend watched this movie so many times in college. Til this day we still say random lines from it 😂😂
Fun fact, the axe gang dance at the beginning was one of the hardest shots they did in the whole film, as getting it to look perfect and in sync was a pain
no wonder they kinda look pissed off+lazy+chill mix with it haha
like it may even have inspired Joker's dance scene in the bathroom
@@IamNinjaOfNinja It was a last minute add suggested by the actor who played the gang boss. Most probably weren't even professional dancers you usually see doing film dances.
The dance is literally the Hustle with axes.
Zuff saying he knows Kung Fu because he saw all the Karate Kids is exactly how I wanted to start my day
Lol
Lmao
He didn't say he knows kung fu. He says he knows a bit about kung fu. Like about the martial arts itself.
Widely considered the Looney Tunes equivalent of kung fu films. It's literally a live action cartoon. And it's the gold standard for how filmmakers should represent anime fights in live action. It's such a timeless gem.
52:12 “that’s the lollipop girl!” The way I screamed 😂😂
i was dying at that part
My man tries so hard haha
@@DJKuroh What's his deal, do we know?
@Barnaclebeard I really don't know. I don't want to speculate and come off as mean. I've watched a lot of their videos and... I just don't know lol.
I wheezed lmao
The landlord's name is Yuen Wah. He played the role of the old man in Tao Lo in the movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Finally, the ten rings in the movie were portrayed as armbands/bracelets instead of finger rings as depicted in the comic book and were worn by the tailor character in Kung Fu Hustle.
That's so cool!
Was also Bruce Lee’s acrobatic stunt double from Enter the Dragon among others.
Please get well.
I love this movie so much. Used to watch it all the time. I’m always mad that Coolie went out without a fight though lol
i was told that was because coolie's kungfu is more of muscle, less chi, aka less sensitive, lowest level among those three, so he didnt even realise those two killers were there. and when the 10ring tailor was pulled out of his shop, he at least was able to spot that music, and noticed the killer immediately.

Wrong mindset for this film. Maybe the next time they watch it they can just enjoy it instead of taking it so seriously.
true😅
Most of western reacts channel always does this😂
Thanks for saving my time.
They looked high af watching this 😅
@@EguchiGzone bruh. guy on the left just always gives me dead eyes, it's uncanny valley galore. And seems out of it.
"that guy is the beast" when we're in the final scene with the old homeless man trying to setup a silly sequel with a new kid... "what are you talking about " - "that's the beast when he was young"

they seemed to love this film. wdym😂
I love the reveal of the landlord and landlady being absolute badasses.
The instrument/weapon those guys were playing is called a Guqin (Goo-Kin), which is a Chinese Zither. It often shows up as a musical weapon in Chines Wuxia films and shows.
Guzheng is the right word.
I wonder what the boys would think of "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000)"? It was nominated for 10 Oscars, and winning 4 that year. Also Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere) & Zhang Ziyi (Rush Hour 2) are the leads! ☺🗡💪
Yes! Not comedic, but a classic if you like kung fu
House of flying daggers is also another good kung fu movie that is the classic Chinese film from 80s that uses a lot of wire fu. Also movie hero starring jet li is also a classic.
MORE STEPHEN CHOW MOVIES PLEASE!!! Namely "Shaolin Soccer", "Journey to the west" and "God of Cookery!"
Bro Shaolin Soccer is so fuckinh funny 😂
This one of my absolute favorites. I’m always really moved at the end when he turns his adversary into a friend by simply saying, “I can teach you.” The Beast recognizes he has so much to learn outside of hatred & violence. Hence his emotional response. Such beautiful sentiment in a crazy movie. There’s more power in the open hand than in the closed fist. 💜💜
True. To learn the Buddhist palm, one must have the pure heart. Meaning the beast have to be a good guy to learn it
This is one of my dads favorite movies. I’ve watched this movie so many times. He used to watch the Old Lady’s scenes in slow mo & crack up for SO long. 😂
Rob and his obsession with the ass guy is insane.😂😂😂
This is one of my favourite movies. I can rewatch this over and over again. I always find little things that I missed from previous watches. I still feel sad that the first three king fu masters died. Loved this movie

dude the left guy is soooooo hiiiiiiighhh lmao
i think he experiencing tic episodes
😵💫😵
I thought I was the only one who noticed that 🤣🤦🏻
thank you for watching this film, guys.
stephen chow ('the one') is the equivalent of a hollywood comedic legend like adam sandler.
when i grew up in the 90s in asia, he was already the leading guy in a few famous hk comedic films.
someone said the guy who plays the landlord is also a legend, his filmography is insane. he was in the shang chi film. the landlady is a veteran actor too.
if in the future you're interested in watching another gem, most people would recommend you watch 'shaolin soccer'. some actors from this film were in it too (ala adam sandler).
happy birthday to ROB.
and a happy Christmas to you lads.
以地位來說更類似於西方的卓別林....同樣是前無古人後無來者，幾百年都未必能出現一位如此的人物!!
idk if i'd call adam sandler a comedic legend...
If you like this film definitely check out "Shaolin Soccer" it's directed by the same guy . It's sports comedy mix with Kung Fu
This movie is a homage to all the Eastern/Western film classics. There are references to Untouchable, Enter of the Dragon, The Shining and many more.
I went to the theater to see this when it released while I was in high school. To this day, it's still one of my favorites! ❤
This Movie is a GEM. I watched it every weekend as a kid and I still can’t find another movie that is comparable. Next watch Shaolin Soccer from 01!
zaff : "look like a harry potter".
robs : 😒 ( boombastic side eye)
zaff always looking soo tired in every reaction. and he's soo random and naturally funny 😂
and bryce make you love him more and more in every reaction 🙃
Sure.. "tired". All three of these guys are stoned out of their minds.
This movie is just so much fun and the landlady with the perms is honestly fierce.
"big brother"/sis/uncle/auntie is like a nickname to address others as a form of respect haha so that girl is not related to him
Stephen Chow has a lot of iconic movies that are famous with my parents generation like god of gambler, flirting scholar, the god of cookery, the mad monk, royal tramp, fight back to school and ofc Shalin soccer
How old are you? I might be the same age as your parents hahaha
@@JoC-l2h both of my parents are in their 60s now. My dad love Stephen's movies a lot, he always collecting them and I always watch with him when I was little
4:25 in Chinese you say big brother as like an honorific, not actually family relation, like calling someone uncle
As many times I've seen this movie, I never noticed the guy with his ass out at the end 😂😂😂
21:36
I love how all three of you recoil at the exact same time
I would never have thought you guys would watch this movie 💀💀 this was a childhood classic for me and my siblings
"I CAN SPOT THIS ASS FROM ANYWHERE" AYOOOOOO
It's funny that the Yang's octagon stuff, twelve kicks and iron fist are really exist, and donut, fairy and coolie are real kung fu master of these.
The landlady was a Bond girl in Man with the Golden Gun. She's one of the Thai boy girl nieces who fights the entire martial arts school.
Poor dude with the hat was fighting so hard not to sleep haha
*totally unsurprised/emotionless face*: "zero percent of me thought that was gonna work"
lmao
Thank god you guys watched this! One of my favorite just random comedies growing up, I used to put everyone on!
You should check out Shaolin Soccer, by Stephen Chow
In the movies, there a lot of movie references like road runner and the scene when the landlady was threatening the axe gang leader was also from a Bruce lee’s movie called way of the dragon 33:19
Matrix and silence of the lambs too
Green guy just speak the most random out of nowhere things lol.
This was my first video I watched, but I went back and watched like a half dozen others on your channel, and I have to say I am BLOWN AWAY by the guy in the middle's transformation. Short hair and a hat make this dude look like a total Chad. I went back to previous videos and realized he's used to look like the biggest nerd of them all. Crazy to me how different he looks. Keep it up dude, you look great. You made me consider cutting my own long hair.
your guy on the left killed this watch for me. his nonintrest in the movie made me feel like why am I watching this movie... reaction... his hand touched his face atleast 15 times before the movie even started.
It's Chinese custom to addressed someone/strangers close to your age as big brother or big sisters.
And those that are older as uncle and auntie and the elderlies as grandpa and grandma out of respect.
Big brother is a literal translation of the Chinese honorific title, and translating it as boss is more appropriate
Coolie is not a name. It's the term used for porters who lift heavy stuff. The Brits called all the natives coolies in their colonies. It's become a racist and derogatory term now in places that were colonies previously. So if you called an African that, it's the same as the N word.
Though it's used in Asia to address porters in general.
when zuff said he thinks they changed the actor i laughed because i remember thinking the same when u watched this movie as a kid 😂
When we watch this in theater back then we knew who the main character is cause we all knew Stephen Chow. He is big in Asia. But seeing Americans watching this blindly, yeah you might get confused who is the main character here.
The One was broken when he was a kid. Being a naive and good person just got him pissed on and beaten up. So he's trying so hard to become a bad guy. A con. But since he's really good at heart, he's just really bad on being bad. The forceful laugh when he rob the girl for the first time is a subtle hint that he's really faking it being a bad heartless monster. When beast got him near death, his chi flow opened. He's got the clarity and content to his full potential.
Anyway, great video guys. I've been watching so many reactions to this movie, you're the only one remember the frog foreshadowing in the asylum. Nice
Also, did you tried react to Shaolin Soccer yet? It's a must after Kung Fu Hustle. It's the early movie from the same guy, Stephen Chow, on writing and directing. It's the cult classic.

ShangChi has the Kungfu Hustle poster hang in his apartment
An homage to the Ten Rings master (The Tailor)
“The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin”
You won’t be disappointed
It’s a masterpiece
“It’s an older movie” … ouch Bryce 😂
I swear Zuff is one of the funniest people on earth.
And the other two's reactions to his comments just make it funnier.
The landlady is actually like a world champion martial artist
'That's not a cool thing to be, I dont really think of a frog when i think of a beast...' 😆 Zuff is soo funny without he even realising it
If you can noticed. All kung fu characters always shown you their skill in funny scene such as the landlord didn't get injured when fall from his room or his wife can made people yelling by her voice or the protagonist stomped the ball.
big brother in china doesn't mean real brother, it's just a term of respect like sir or maam
omg this is so surprising. this movie is what i’d like to call a personal classic
this movie is my childhood fav, thanks for reacting guys.
I'm always rewatching this movie along with "Kung Fu Dunk" highly recommend!
Pai Mei's Five point palm exploding heart technique.
Guy in green has face blindness.
FINALLY I'VE BEEN ROOTING FOR YOU GUYS TO WATCH THIS
"I watched Karate Kid, so I know a bit about Kung Fu" is a helluva statement.
But yeah, Shaolin Soccer is the next logical one to try. It's the previous film by the same guy (who btw, is the main character, the writer, and the director)
This movie is iconic
This movie is like a live action blend of anime and Looney Tunes, and I love it.
In asia we called everyone bro/sis uncle/auntie even if we're not related
Most of the big characters are big kung fu stars of old.
The gay tailor and the assassin musician guy with the nails that was fighting him in his store are old action stars. The latter worked with Jackie Chan in some films.

Theres so much to it
Landlady? Yuen Qiu. Was a Bond Girl in The Man with the Golden Gun. Same master as Jackie Chan/Sammo Hung/Yuen Wah as one of the Seven Little Fortunes.
Landlord? Most recently in Legend Shang Chi. Also one of the Seven Little Fortunes.
The Beast? Bruce Leung. 70's Martial Art film legend, one of the Four Dragons. Who else? Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
Tailor? Chiu Chi Ling. Hung Gar master, has his own school in the US, acted alongside a number of big names.
Coolie? Xing Yu. Shaolin Monk.
Donut? Dong Zhihua, trained in peking opera.
Heck, even the first gangster who got killed, the second in command at axe gang, blind killers, etc... All people known within the HK industry.
It was really a whos who..
Omg i cant believe you guys watched this movie 😂 that means you have to watch shaolin soccer now
In China they often call each other brother or sister, that doesn't mean they are relatives.
Damn seeing this thumbnail just brought back so many memories 😂😂😂
@55:19
"His a$$ is out!!"
😂
Now, you have to watch Shaolin Soccer. It's pretty much on the same spirit with many of the same actors, including the lead actor. It's as hilarious.
That woman call the boss "Big brother" is not her real brother. That's an honorific title given to the gang leader
enjoyed the reactions; but omg the guy on the left with the tics - he's soooo cute!
If you guys like good Kung Fu movies, Hero with Jet Li is a good one to check out.
Coolie and fairy are nicknames, insulting ones at that, not the characters actual names.
Coolie is an insult for calling someone lazy and calling Donut "fairy" is basically the landlord calling Donut gay.
This is a rare movie where I consider every single scene to be perfection. No flaws
I can't remember if you guys have watched the MCU movie Shang Chi, but the Landlord in this movie is the Archery teacher in that movie. Shang Chi even has a Kung-Fu Hustle poster in his room.
This is literally one of my favorite movies me and my family have been watching for so long very good I love this guys 💕💕💕💕
Dude on the left should get his neck checked out lol I’m kinda worried
ok this calls for 'shaolin soccer' next
that little boy is such a great actor; he was not getting peed on and still made the face that you recognised. See Avatar, get that kid to do it, and...
fun fact-the landlord actor used to be bruce lees stuntman
D: Adam what's wrong?
