We can all AGREE that this is might be THE ONLY movie that we already seen more than 10 times but still amaze us with the same feeling like watch it the first time. TRULLY EVERLASTING MASTERPIECE
Yep, more than 10 times in Cantonese and English, and also other languages on Netflix. I must say it sounds the funniest in Italian!
So satisfying to watch ! Best Kung Fu movie of all time . Can't wait till part 2
So true
@@WaiIpChungFMOclinic ITS IN ENGLISH?!
The mummy falls in the same category and I'll say even men in black does as well
Almost 20 years later, this still holds up as one of the best martial arts movies of all time.
AGREE
Perhaps, one of the best movies of all times that too in all the aspects, present till now.
What about Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? About the same time span being discussed.
Yes. Together with the best real story soccer movie of all time "Shaolin soccer"
Totally 🎉
This film is truly a masterpiece, paid homage to so many kung fu novels, characters, fighting styles and tidbits. I still get a real laugh at the knives and snakes scene!
Best scene 🤣🤣
WHO'S THROWING HANDLES
My friend shat his pants laughing during the knives and snake scene. Funniest thing ever
*looney tunes too!*
The woman who does the dragon roar is also in the James Bond Golden Gun movie.
The significance of the ending can not be understated. After showing him that he could have ended it whenever he wanted, he grabs what was a weapon, and shows it as instead a toy. The same was as the martial arts, not meant to harm. When he asked him what move it was, and was offered to be taught, he was forgiven of his mistakes however great. He saw him as he was, seeing him in the shadow of the sun, he felt a wave of every emotion possible, fully accepting his offering of forgiveness and teaching.
it took me 24 years to truly understand that
That's budishm
That inline with the main character Buddha's palm
This is the perfect example of how live-action anime fighting scenes should be portrayed: the effects are fantastic, and the exaggeration is just right. It's not cringeworthy or weird at all.
Same with Man of steel whole 2nd half
@@utsavdhyani8839lmao
hey, very well said. There is a sort of realism even in the people's acting in this movie that is mixed with a sliver of caricature exaggeration that would definitely fit live-action shounen anime.
06:13 the fact that his left foot is still flat (from getting stepped on earlier) just show how much they pay attention to every minor details. This is why this movie will be a timeless classic.
Damnnn brooo that's so amazing 👏 😍
the villain is bolo yeung, he fought with/against bruce lee, jackie chan, jet li, donnie yen,
even as a villain he brings nostalgia.
@@ANIME-FOR-LYFhe wasn't bolo, he's Siu Lung Leung
It's still squashed even at 7:41 !
LoL, I noticed that too. When he jumps in the air as the toad 🐸 at 4:56 🤓
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you." That's all the Beast every really wanted. He thought he'd reached the pinnacle of what could be achieved, and what he had achieved made him feel empty, bored, and unfulfilled. Realizing that there are mysteries beyond what he had hoped to be able to achieve restored his sense of wonder, and the fact that this now-enlightened young man that he had tried to kill would offer to teach him if he could humble himself to learn filled him with hope (such as he must have once had when he began learning the martial arts in his youth).
masterpiece
Very nicely summarized. A brutal beatdown or death wouldn't do justice to a villain like that. The beast did evil things but not out of evil intentions.
Every villain movie be like
Especially because in a sense the beast enlightened him. Only fair that he returns the favor
man asked for a better opponent and got exactly what he wanted, just not in the way he expected
''if he studies hard, he could grow up to be a doctor or lawyer'' bro i laughed so hard at that one.
Probably a stuntman
Joke about asian parents' streotype
It is not even a stereotype to parents with high expectation.
It is funny because it's true.
It would be wonderful to do a prequel where he does turn out to be their son and was lost somehow because of their Kung fu history after all they were called masters Helen of Troy and Paris so I was thinking it would be neat to know their back story
Probably a director and producer
I don’t even want to imagine what these people could have pulled off with the present modern filming technology
This still holds up insanely well
Nothing could improve the film imo ❤
If I've learned anything from watching movies for the last 30 years it's that technology does not make a better movie. In fact, constraint often leads to the most creative ideas.
We will find out Kung fu hustle 2 had been confirmed
Sing went from all talk, no action to doing a complete 180. Through out the movie he would try to pick a fight with everybody, but he couldn't back up his words. In this scene he's totally quiet while fighting and the only time he spoke was after defeating the Beast.
Yes, it's a beautiful contrast.
The fact that we never got a sequel was a crime. That old man pulled out like 5 different books including ones with a sword technique. Would've been crazy to see those new styles. This is still one of the greatest kung fu action comedies ever.
We are getting a sequel to this movie by the way, I can't wait to see but this mc(Stephen chow) will make a cameo appearance in the new movie instead of being mc
It could've been a different underdog story with each of the five books
Kung fu hustle book 2: sword style, or something like that

I like how the parents had to throw in the most Asian parents line ever.
Doctor and lawyer thing??
@@Swagway177 yes
that was just a cherry on top :D
also at the last part shes saying hes at best would be a stuntman lmao
its true that despite his powerful kungfu, its not a skill used a lot in society especially at the time of peace (and basically any non superhero movie city)
and at the end, he works as lollipop seller
@@3takoyakis building demolition and land clearance?
Dang, the cgi, fight choreography and cinematography is really remarkable for a movie made in 2004 and it still is remarkable now!
This shi better than She Hulk 😂
One word: passion
This is rebirth . Buddhism is simplified Hinduism. Concept of rebirth is there in Hinduism. I love my Asian brothers for still being connected to us through religion.

You have my blessings. And here take this palm technique too!
😂
yes, prettty much it lmao
“Get that MFer”
9:29 That little wave he did is the cherry on top. He's simply telling "It's okay! Everything is under control." Damn what an insane creativity.
2:03 It only took me 18 years to understand the joke
I just found out the actor playing the landlord was *_Bruce Lee_*_ stuntman_
And the taylor is the real martial artist
LMAO that detail got past my head
Fun fact: the actor of the axe gang boss in this movie was also casted as Bruce Lee in the Ip Man films
Its actually just a pun...
@@sudanemamimikiki1527 either way it's a curious fact lol
At 3:14 I noticed a small detail I had not before. The Beast had a single drop of sweat going down the visible side of his face. Whether he was consciously aware or not he knew instinctively that this guy was going to be trouble and his body was already under stress from the anticipation.
Yes, a beautiful detail to show that the Beast knew he had a fight on his hands
Like an anime
I love that you noticed that detail.
@@Ozzlord666to be expected as Stephen cow likes one piece 😂 all this goofy-ness makes sense in 2004
Death was not the greatest punishment for him, than to make him realise there's a better flighter alive! Great movie ❤️
Was it punishment or relief for his quest to finally be over? After all, the Beast shut himself in a dark hole in an insane asylum because he couldn't find a worthy opponent. Now he can walk in the sun again because his world makes sense. I believe those are tears of joy!
Villains don't know they are out matched until the end of the movie comes.
Yeah the Best Flighter ever
wrong, for a true martial artist(even that frog dude counts as one), that's not a punishment, that's an honor, which is why he called him laozi(teacher) after being defeated instead of "you won, finish me off"
If he surrender then opposition have no right to kill. It’s War rule except for British Empire.
This is what movie all about.Makes us glued to the screen with excitement and forgetting about real life.
Sucks us in with the scenes and not get tired watching it.
8:04 " I surrender " is the main technique employed by master toad in this movie😂
在中国，这会被大家认为是一种阴险的技巧
I normally don't like kung fu movies with all the special effects because it looks so stupid to me. But this movie never took itself serious from the start and I absolutely adored it. I think I've watched it at least a dozen times.
It never gets old for me either
If you watch a Chinese or Hong Kong movie that heavily relies on special effects, flying around and stuff like that, it's usually not a kung fu movie, it's a wuxia movie
For what it did on the budget it had, it was actually pretty good CGI for the year.
😊😊
those arent special effects. This really happened! My Grandfather was there!
I. Loved. Every. Minute. Of. This. Movie. Stephen Chow is a goddamn genius and one of my favorite film makers ever.
This movie never gets old
Well said brother
This one and shaolin soccer....
They were the first time someone really captured the essence of anime in a live action film....
I laughed so hard i had tears in my eyes
Nobody asked you. Stop using the internet to express your worthless sentiments and opinions

The Beast: "Toe-stepping? That's kid's stuff!"
Also the Beast: "EeaAauUugGhhHhh!!!" 😂🤣
The movie sets it up so well. Right after the Beast says that, a guy gets tossed onto a wall next to him, contradicting him immediately.
@@STie95 Stephen Chow's comedic timing in his movies is just so perfect.
No internet, no subscription tv show, I remember in one DVD 📀 have a 6 different type of movies, that time price is cheap, but still can afford, what a beautiful days
I dont know why they dont make movies like this anymore. There's just a lot of emotions and characters beautifully combined in one wholesome movie.
When Sing offered to teach the Beast the buddist palm, it was precisely at that moment that he was pulled back to sanity. The beast felt humbled to be defeates by someone so talented, and all his convictions fell apart when Sing chose to spare him. I love this movie..!
Yup
Yeah, it's so life-affirming that the good guy defeated the bad guy by creating a scenario where the bad guy became better. Beautiful movie in every way.
In all matters, it is the true master that will teach his knowledge.
The final step to transformation wasn’t being defeated in battle- it was being presented with understanding and compassion.
More importantly, the Beast realize there is no way he could overcome Sing even he will teach him about Buddaish palm, his pride is completely shattered.
Oh! He said, 'I am truly defeated by you.' instead of what this subtitle said 'master'
9:28 lol I never noticed him waving to the landlord and landlady before
How curious, it has been one of the my favorite parts, because it is like he is their son.
The special effects will always be hilarious, especially the toe stepping 😆
Child's play!
well that's what happens when you try and make anime live action, some of the moves get a bit weird.
Special effects? Where?
That cartoonish race between Sing and the Landlady...LOL. I pictured The Coyote and Roadrunner from WB when I saw that!
That's what's so charming of the entire film...the script, acting, dialogue, cgi....entire purpose is is to entertain the viewer...not be a visual artistic slow drama that 90% of people can't stand....this flick is true art and makinonb movies is to entertain someone...not be artistic....put this movie up now and I guarantee it'd be nominates
This is THE MOST underrated movie of all times. 10/10 with 1% of the recognition it should have.
this movie is very highly rated, by audience and critics as well. Rotten tomatoes has it at 90% critic score.
Bro this movie still peaked at asia and asean country to this day. Lmao
OP has no FUCKING Idea what he's talking about. Trying to sound like he's the only one who's heard of it....... Using words like "underrated" when it's longer than most words in his vocabulary..... Idiot lmfaoooooooooooooo 😅😅😅😅
do you know what underrated mean? this movie is well known.
4:25 bro said phase 2😭
*_Bro 💀_*
The look on Beast’s face when the dude is slammed against the wall beside him is priceless due to his speech right before it happened 😂😂
That always makes me laugh never fails
@@NorFamlaughing at the same thing over and over....... is a dead-on sign of autism....God bless......
4:00 best scene so far🤣🤣🤣
"I can stop bullets"
Well only if you see it coming
@@Jokerman5474 damn right lol
or "the one" is just faster then a bullet
Which shows that Stephen Chow did the "Parry this you filthy casual" before it was even a thing
What a childhood we had, repeated for a few years in Chinese New Year gatherings, still comedic gold.
9:00
That was one of the pure moments in the movie... Melting the beast himself with kindness❤
he even make that weapon fly like a leaf in the breeze
Buddhism is all about forgiveness
The closest we'll get to a masterful live action anime
RRR is pretty close too
@@bibblehouse This movie is much better then RRR
Don't forget Shaolin Soccer, which was the film he made before Kung Fu Hustle. His biggest hit is The Mermaid, which is about a playboy businessman who falls in love with a mermaid sent to kill him - it's like the funniest live action anime you have ever seen (it's also the all-time box office champ of China.)
@@bibblehouseyou joking right?😂
Exactly what I've been saying
Kung Fu Hustle is a great homage to all the kung fu movies, kung fu masters, stunt man and Bruce Lee. I love how the bad guys aren't looking super tough but rather how smooth and swiftly they fought. And the way how Stephan Chow imitated Bruce Lee with his fights and his clothing was a great tribute. And then the running joke about a stuntman too.
"What superpower do you wish"
1:15 ThIs OnE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the sound fx here 0:38 the echo on those punches make it feel so much more powerful
1:15 I consider this the single greatest attack move ever in the history of action comedy movies.
Dude! I love visual story telling!!!
The end, from frog-man's point of view, the hero is shadowed out. He has risen so high, has gotten _so good,_ that the bad guy is so low he can't even see him anymore in this moment! The realization drops him to his knees, sobbing
Yes, it looks like the hero has a halo, touched by divinity - - you can believe the villain is having an epiphany. Such a beautiful film!
Offering to teach the bad guy his moves is literally the only part of this movie I hated. It's ridiculous lol.
@@MrBottlecapBill you know, it's hard to disagree with you, but at the same time it's one of the most humbling things he could have told the dude. Guy is sitting in prison, not because they caught him, but because he's bored. You think he needed the hero to pick the lock? He could have thrashed that prison cell and been gone.
Somebody breaking into a prison to get him, though, that's rather interesting (the only reason he plays along). He sits at the top of the martial arts world, and he knows it!
Hero offering to teach him _anything_ is one of the most humbling insults he could have offered, especially given the age difference.
legend:The Toad Skill comes from the Western Regions (Kashmir region) and is quite evil
No matter how goofy this movie looks, it’ll always have a special place in my heart
You may call it goofy but it's Mr Chow's style of humor, this nonsense makes his movie special and classic.😆There're a lots of memes created from his movie which most 80s, 90s borned people in China are familiar with.
@@taurz1718 I love Mr Chows humor
It is special because it is so goofy that it's beautiful.
@@taurz1718so true, the special effects have a cartoonish effect to them, and yet they never look too awkward in scenes because of the slapstick nature of the movie. they are done incredibly well, meticulously made so that they do their intended effect. you can tell they’re a bit older special effects, but it adds to the charm unlike other movies with outdated effects
"Toe-stepping that's kids stuff" *guy flies into the wall* 🤣
1:17 that's painful 😖😖😖😖🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This film in not taking itself seriously took itself so seriously that it made a timeless masterpiece out of itself. Godspeed to the cast and the director & writer duo this ingenius baby must've taken, Godspeed. This movie is ageless, timeless.
As much as I like this fight scene, I think the moment he hit beast before gaining these great powers was my favourite in this movie. He could've chosen an easy, evil way, but instead chose to fight impossible odds to do what's right, and that's some impressive shit.
2 seconds after comparing him to their sons age, the line about him growing up to be a doctor or lawyer is perfection
7:45 he turned into General Radahn
Lmao
This movie was everything The Matrix wished it could be.
They did such an amazing job making this movie cool and funny. Usually movies really struggle with that imo. I genuinely consider this to be a classic.
Absolutely 💯 the comedy and action mixed together with Chinese battle bgm . Don't even have words for this masterpiece
7:59 Hashirama senju is that you
I like how The Beast has a distorted creature-like voice whenever he starts to fight again after each potential knockdown, really gives credence to his epithet of "The Beast"
One thing you should know is that this movie was released in 2004.
The graphics, storyline, humour, and the actors must be highly appreciated.
I wish they remake this movie or make a squeal (though there was a rumor about KFH 2)
Why remake?
0:54 the axe aren't even sharp 😂
0:41 still the most badass show of power I've ever seen.
If he studies hard, he could grow up to be a doctor or lawyer, very common asian parents
Most funniest kung fu ever 😂😂😂
I can watch this film 5 times a day and still never get bored. How is this even possible?
From the comedy to drama, from hate to love and from peace to war, everything in this movie is iconic
He had to work at a candy store for the next 40 years to pay for the damage.

This guy could beat Thanos all by himself
damn right 💪
Not hard to do everyone in the marvel universe is trash even most of the characters don't even want to be from that universe
Sorry, but no matter how good he is, all it would have taken for Thanos was a snap, and he would be done.
Even saying this takes away from the sacrifice that Tony Stark made to defeat Thanos.
He and Spider-Man would have been a good fight though, I'm not sure who would win.
You're obviously delusional if you think this guy could beat Thanos, he couldn't even have beat Corvus Glaive, not even on his worst day.
In fact, I would say that almost any Avenger could have stopped the Buddist Palm with their pinky, and then annihilated the guy.
I don't know what kind of fictional World y'all are living in where Supernatural martial arts skills overpower Supernatural magical skills, you must be ignorant of how fictional physics work.
@@atworldsend818 You try snapping as your toes get stomped on.

Ok, if Thanos didn't have those big Uru metal boots on, then maybe.
That ending always brings a tear 4 me.
At 1st, it seems a bad idea to "teach" him. But I imagine it's like Thor's hammer; the Buddha Palm is only 4 the worthy.😱
By teaching him, it actually redeems him.
Remember yin yang ☯️ ? Theres good in evil and there's evil in good
It also implies the teaching of Buddhism that to show mercy and kindness to every living thing! Love 'em producing the ending like this to make us think, rather than just kill the antagonist ❤
@@februarysnows5528
Mercy n kindness have their place but fly out the window in "kill or be killed" moments.

Kung Fu Hustle = sheer brilliance. Just has everything. Loving the humor and story.
The man who plays the Beast had been retired for many years. he had always been the good guy in his films. This was his return and the first time he ever played a villain.
He was perfect as the Beast.
This is still my favorite fight in all of Kung Fu! I love this movie!
Then ur stupid af black
Same here
i know right, he gains enlightenment in the air and becomes great.
Chinese movies aren't typically renowned in the West, at all.
However, Stephen Chow certainly has a talent to bridge the audiences to something palatable for us all.
Maybe nitpicking here but it is Cantonese. Especially Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee movies are quite popular I'd say
@@Keepcalm-lovesports true, Hong Kong cinema is a different story, pretty popular in the west and influential (gun-fu)

What i learned from that movie? Never underestimate the power of toe-stepping technique
A beautiful ending. Both found their purpose. The final boss achieved what he wanted, he wanted to be defeated. But his purpose was to learn more. The hero got what his purpose was, to be the strongest kung Fu master.
This movie made me realize that, if we are ever to get a good live action dragonball movie, it cant be made by Hollywood.
It's the realism I like the best.
Best kung fu movie ever 😂
Nah bruh
If it's in animated then it's the different thing
But this isn't the best martial arts movie
I love when the bad dude says; lets go and the one hit him straight ahead without notice 🤣
Knowing the beast, he would play dirty too soo get him first is a must
That foot stomping scene is still one of my favorite move in this movie. I could just imagine that each stomp is the equivalent of having a heavy metal piece getting dropped on your foot, yikes!
