KUNG FU HUSTLE MOVIE REACTION | 0:00 - 31:46
KUNG FU HUSTLE MOVIE REVIEW | 31:47 - 34:24
Kung Fu Hustle Movie Description:
When the hapless Sing (Stephen Chow) and his dim-witted pal, Bone (Feng Xiaogang), try to scam the residents of Pig Sty Alley into thinking they're members of the dreaded Axe Gang, the real gangsters descend on this Shanghai slum to restore their fearsome reputation. What gang leader Brother Sum (Danny Chan) doesn't know is that three legendary retired kung fu masters (Yu Xing, Dong Zhihua, Chiu Chi-ling) live anonymously in this decrepit neighborhood and don't take kindly to interlopers.
Kung Fu Hustle (Chinese: 功夫, lit. Kung Fu) is a 2004 martial arts action-comedy gangster film directed, produced, co-written by, and starring Stephen Chow. The film tells the story of a murderous neighborhood gang, a poor village with unlikely heroes, and an aspiring gangster's fierce journey to find his true self. Eva Huang, Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu, Danny Chan Kwok-kwan and Leung Siu-lung co-starred in prominent roles. The martial arts choreography is supervised by Yuen Woo-ping. It was a co-production between Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese companies, filmed in Shanghai.
After the commercial success of Shaolin Soccer, its production company, Star Overseas, began to develop Kung Fu Hustle with Columbia Pictures Asia in 2002. The film features a number of retired actors famous for 1970s Hong Kong action cinema and has been compared to contemporary and influential wuxia films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero. The cartoon special effects in the film accompanied by traditional Chinese music, is often cited as its most striking feature.
The film was released on 23 December 2004 in China and on 25 January 2005 in the United States. It received a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 78 out of 100 rating at Metacritic. The film grossed US$17 million in North America and US$84 million in other regions. It was tenth on the list of highest-grossing foreign-language films in the United States as well as the highest-grossing foreign-language film in the country in 2005. Kung Fu Hustle won numerous awards, including six Hong Kong Film Awards and five Golden Horse Awards. The film was re-released in 3D in October 2014 across Asia and America, marking the tenth anniversary of the film.

OMG I Haven’t Laughed Like That Since The Holy Grail! Share And Like!
SHAOLIN SOCCER MOVIE REACTION UP NOW: ua-cam.com/video/aXbO0zlh-mo/v-deo.html
The Video Got Copyrighted, Thats Why I Changed The Music When Axe Gang Is Dancing.
I Also Noticed, Some People Don't Like That I Laughed When The Kid Was Getting His Butt Whooped. I Just Got To Say, I Don't Care! You Are Not Me, I'm Not You, We Are Completely Different People. We Are Humans, Everyone Has Different Senses Of Humor. I'm Not Changing Myself For Nobody, Especially Not For Some Political Correct BS.
Also, do notice the extremely bad teeth of the axe gang boss... I've noticed that the really bad guy in chinese movies always has bad teeth.
The "No more soccer" scene is where the main character stomps the ball is the director telling everyone that he won't be doing a Shaolin Soccer sequel
Yeah I Did Lml
If you liked this you may like some of his other movies. I would recommend Shaolin Soccer.
Definitely follow it up with Shaolin Soccer. ⚽
When this came out, Bill Murray said it was the funniest movie he had seen in 10 years. If you really study film, it's amazing how great an homage this entire movie is to classic cinema in both the East and West. It's everything from cartoons to gangster movies, Charlie Chaplin to great Kung Fu and Hollywood musicals. Just a perfect combination of the two film cultures, and an amazing achievement.
at first i didnt get all the references, but even when i didnt i still thought this movie was amazing.
The little romance 😍❤️ was great too
The sean Connery line from the untouchables cracks me up. Haven't watched this in years. I'd forgotten how good it is.
Heh
also, all of the kung-fu style that appeared here came from classic chinese kung-fu novel.. most of them came from "the return of condor heroes" even the land lady and landlord named after the main character from the said novel.
“Shaolin Soccer” is another great comedy in this vein, came out a few years earlier.
Stephen Chow does some great action comedy. This and Shaolin Soccer are his best hands down tho.
Same guy (Stephen Chow) wrote, produced, directed, and starred in both movies.
He also did CJ7.
the scene with the soccer ball was a call back to that movie
Journey to the West (2013) is well worth a look too.
For those who aren't aware, the fight choreography is done by Yuen Woh Ping, who done the fight choreography for the Matrix movies, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Yuen Woh Ping is the guy as a beggar scamming the little kid with the kungfu manual in the film.
hahaha it's like stan lee appearing in marvel movies XD
The beggar was his younger brother, Yuen Cheung-yan
Daaaaaaamn😃
i like that
Wait really? I dont know that he has a crazy big name on him
Stephen Chow is truly under-appreciated in the west. People know Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and recently, Donnie Yen. But nobody ever talks about Stephen Chow.
u name 3 actors and one director......... and how about tony jaa ,jet li ,lucy lu? do u think i know all americans directors of movie? :DDD
@@MrValgauzole1393 and do you think I have time to name all the Asian actors? And Chow was an actor a lot of people in the East grew up watching but nobody knows him in the West.
The standard in sense of humour between Western world and Eastern world is totally different, I barely seen Western people have fun with this Movie
I talk about Stephen chow!! I’ve seen almost all his old movies and liked most of them lol
whats funny about that is i have always talked about stephen chow. and sometimes i will quote his movies but in english and sometimes my friends or their friends will laugh at the movie line
Stephen Chow is a fan of shows like Looney Tunes which is why there is so much slapstick comedy and cartoony visuals. I would also recommend Shaolin Soccer and Journey To The West.
@Ben Franklin oh! i didn't know abotu that one. time for me to see it then.
@@unlimited971 There's a part 2 called "Conquering the Demons", parts of it I like more then the first and parts I don't.
Forbidden City Cop
Flirting Scholar
Love on Delivery
And so many other classic Stephen Chow films.
You'd do yourself a favour watching his older movies as well.
Not Journey To The West, that one is lacklustre compared to A Chinese Odyssey Part 1 and 2.
@@adrianlee6460 First time I've heard of those - I'll have to check them out
Stephen Chow has said he's planning to do a sequel for Kung Fu Hustle.
He's got the highest grossing film of all time in China, dude is a legend.
yes finally ^^
Despite having 17+year old CGI, in most ways it looks like it could have been made last year. It's that good. So if he's making more? Please. My movie ticket is already bought, figuratively.
I really hope so. It was such a good movie.
I think it’s one of the kind that sequel would be a bad idea.. it was not meant to have a sequel to begin with
@@TheSunshineRequiem I definitely wouldn’t want a direct sequel, but I think another story in this world could be interesting. Or it could feel like a shitty clone, who knows?
I’m just gonna sum up the details of Kung fu for you all in this movie.
So this movie, there are 6 levels of Kung fu. Each level representing a state of mind and the body. The first level being the physical level. This level consists of the “twelve leg shao lin kick” “Hong jia fist” and “wu Lang ba gua staff” these are what is called “Ming jin” or “visible strength” This is the usage of the physical strength of the body, it is also the first level of Kung fu. The second level is represented by the two blind man. This is when Kung fu is no longer only represented through the body, but also as a state of “energy” or “an jin” this in English could be described as a strike that cannot be seen. This state of Kung fu is extremely powerful as it can kill without subject even realizing it has been killed. How ever, this is soon to be over shadowed by the third level of Kung fu. “Hua jin” or “mix of the strike” this is when one has mastered the first two levels of Kung fu and is able to combine the two. They are able to dissolve the attacks of the first two levels of Kung fu with ease. This is represented by the “land lord couples.” Through. “Tai chi” and “shi hou gong” or “lion roar”. Though this level of Kung fu is already extremely powerful, the fourth level of Kung fu is even greater. This state of Kung fu is when the user have managed to use the mixture of energy, mastered before from the first, second, and third state and create something even further beyond. There is no name for this state in China, since people like this are generally considered to be one of the greatest masters of it’s time. This state of Kung fu is represented by “huo yun xie shen” or the “world’s top killer”. However, there is still room for even beyond this state. State 5, this is when you break the limit of your body and reach even beyond the roof of Kung fu. This is represented when the main character stepped on the eagle, (the eagle of which represents the pinnacle of Kung fu) Stage five is represented through “Ru lai shen zhang” or “the Buddha palm” (the Kung fu the main character learned as a child.) But what is even further beyond this level is level 6. He didn’t show this in this video but in the movie, after the main character has spared “Huo Yun Xie Shen” he asks the main character what Kung fu he was using. And after hearing this, the main character calmly responds with: “you want to learn this? I can teach you.” This is when he has reached the last stage of Kung fu. Where Kung fu is longer used to just fight, but only to communicate and grow. This is known as “fan pu gui zhen” and in many Chinese sayings “jiu jiu gui yi” (after nine you have one and zero) meaning after you reach the pinnacle you return to where you have started. This is regarded as the true pinnacle state of Kung fu, and only the greatest of masters may dream of mastering it. Since it would mean to leave all of what you had behind and return to where you have started. Truly something not anyone can do.
Hopefully that was enough to allow people to understand just how detailed this movie is when it comes to Kung fu. :)
So Cultivation ?
@@stevenbriandumaguit9919 yes and no
@@emperorpenguin6420 Why ?
Wow.... learning new things because of you. Thank you very much sir
The landlord couple are actually Siauw Long lie and Yang Guo.
Directed...
and Produced
and Written
and acted as the Main character
and have his team of actor and actresses friends work for him
by the Legendary Stephen Chow.
And we have been waiting for Part 2 since 2004.
Sadly he doesn't act much anymore. He is extra creative to be able to package so many fun stuff in 1.5hr movie.
everything, the scenes, music design, sound effects, pacing, martial art and acting performances, choreographies, is just perfectly fit. Everything comes one full circle in the story, the book he bought, the girl he helped, the butterfly at the start, all meaningful.
he is able to make fun in the midst of seriousness and be serious in the midst of humour, now that is very difficult to achieve, but the end result is chef kiss.
As Donut, the staff fighter, lays dying and the subtitles disappear, that's because he's speaking English. He's saying "What are you prepared to do?" which is a direct reenactment of Sean Connery's death scene from The Untouchables.
And the line from Spider-Man just before. Must have been a blast to make.
Oh! So that's what he said. Lol
thx
His accent make it 100x funnier 🤣🤣
Man ive watched this movie about 4 times it's my first time to finally know what he said
I found this at a Blockbuster on a saturday night. All the popular movies were gone and I came across this and thought..why the hell not? Best decision I ever made that day.
Hold on, you found this movie in the Blockbuster store?
Blockbuster store still around?
I'm sorry you found it where?
I think Rose was talking about Blockbuster many years ago when this movie just came out.
I found it on netflix
Fun Fact: The "Paris & Helen of Troy" reference was not a direct translation. The landlords referred to themselves as "Yang Guo & Xiao Long Nu" a famous couple in Chinese Wuxia folklore called "Return of the Condor Hero". Steven Chow is amazing. I highly recommend Shaolin Soccer next. You will see a lot of familiar faces in that movie. Also, a special appreciation for Yuen Woo Ping (fight choreographer)
Stephen Chow is Director, Producer and Actor all in this movie... Genius!
I watched this movie with someone who didnt laugh. I knew our relationship wasnt gone make it.
I'm upset more than I should be to hear this
Yeah, I would have dumped them too.
Truth.
wtf i was dying the first time i watched this movie, and damn i really love this one, insta deleted from your live, gz!
I know right...this movie qualifies as a deal breaker for me
This movie is legit like a live action anime
That's so true.
Yes right from the comedy all the way down to the action so anime like it’s epic.
Cant wait for them to do OPM
More like a chinese loony tunes
This and Shaolin Soccer are literally life action animes lol
The knife into shoulder then arm then 2 more times scenes is the funniest part of this movie, which I've watched over 20 times and still die laughing
No doubt I just died again
Slapstick perfection:-)
Also when he bonked the Beast with that little stick.
Top funniest parts of the movie is the fire scene, the one on one and the knife throw. Some other ones were the "don't block my view" " I need to see a doctor" and the last hit on the stick.
Imma gonna watch again now, I forgot how amazing the visuals are not to mention the jokes
The landlord was Bruce Lee's stunt double in Enter The Dragon, doing acrobatics(In the opening scene when Lee fights Sammo Hung, he does the kip up and...the jump over the monks hands!!!)
And the kick when he fights O'Hara when he does a backflip.
In Enter The Dragon....he can be seen during the banquet scene. When Han enters, and he throws the apples for the girls to throw darts at them, he's the SECOND one of the guys who catches an apple!!!
He also appeared in
THE CHINESE CONNECTION/FIST OF FURY :
The Japanese telling Bruce Lee/Chen to
"Pretend you're a dog and I'll take you in"
The older Kung Fu Artists in this Movie are actually Traditional Kung Fu Masters
Yeah the hung gar guy (the one with the rings) whose name escapes me is a real practitioner and have been in a lot of martial arts movies through the years.
and the pair had trained with Jackie Chan together in the same class. Jackie has to call them older brother and sister.
Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung learned some of their kung fu from the metal ring guy too
And Yuen Wah is just so Iconic
@@BrokenNoah Chiu Chi-ling is a Grand Master Hung Gar legend with a legendary lineage.
By far the most accomplished martial artist in the film, yet played the goofiest character, lol.
When you know the Male Landlord was the gymnastic stuntman for Bruce Lee and The Female Landlord was in a James Bond Movie .....
Which Bond movie was the landlady in?
Her Road Runner bit, to this day, makes me laugh so hard I'm practically crying.
The Male landlord went to the same opera school as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and co and had appeared in a handful of JC's films.
@@samhilton4173
In 1974, Yuen Qiu had a small role in the international production, The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), portraying as Hip's niece Nara rescuing Roger Moore as James Bond.
The Man with Golden Gun. She was one of the karate girl... look up in IMDB for Qiu Yuen
I’ve never laughed so hard in my life watching a movie.
As a local HongKonger I am very proud to see this pop up in my recommendation, nice reaction bro
Lots of the jokes were lost in translation though
Btw other Stephen Chow’s comedy are just as good :D
I don't know what jokes were lost but I know the Paris and Helen of Troy thing doesn't make any sense. They're supposed to be some legendary Chinese couple but there's no western ecquivelant so that part doesn't really work.
@@misterStevePikk
Puns, local culture but personally I think the translation also took always the vibe the lines actually give
The amount of happiness you got just from seeing this gem of a movie is one reason I'd love to be able to erase my memory of it and see it for the first time again. More people should really see this for themselves. Truly one of the all time greats.
Same. I envy bim
I saw it in the cinema when it came out, I've never heard people laugh like that in a movie before.
That’s what I’m saying especially the knife scene it was always the funniest to me
Thank i seen this movie
if I remember correctly, the technology/technique to selectively erase a memory or such actually exists already.
The fights are choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping whose work includes The Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill 1&2, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Fist of Legend, etc...
He's the bum who sells him the kung fu manual
And directed classics like Jackie Chan's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master
@@chrisleebowers That's Yuen Woo Ping brother Yuen Cheung-yan, he was in many 70s kung fu movie before Drunken Tai Chi, Tai Chi Master, Fist of Legend etc along with his siblings Yuen Shun-yi, Yuen Yat Chor, Brandy Yuen and Yuen Lung-chu as "The Yuen clan" in the movie industry. Their father Yuen Siu-tien is the master/beggar in Snake in the Eagle Shadow and Drunken Master.
@@bfang19 Did Woo-ping attend the same school as Jackie Chan? I get contradicting claims about that info.
@@shiranuiaensland1442 I have heard about it and it seems to be true, he was sent to the school after training with his father, his stage name was Yuan Qing given by Jackie Chan master Yu Jim-yuen (rip), he train with Sammo Hung and others, by the time Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao enter the school he already left.
This is what a proper live action anime should look like
Ok, fun facts: he's been around since the late 80's, and he's consistently doing this style of action-comedy. Whether you watch his new stuff - like Shaolin Soccer, or this Kung Fu Hustle - or his old stuff, you'll get tons of good laughs. Enjoy the journey!
Fun fact: The landlord and landlady, were the martial art big brother and sister (classmate) of Jacky Chen in real life during their teenage years. The landlady, Yuen Qiu, was in the James Bond movie The Man With The Golden Gun. She was one of the school girls who save Bond when escaping from the Karate school. Her husband the landlord was played by Yuen Wah, who was Bruce Lee's stunt double in Enter The Dragon. When you see Bruce doing the acrobatic tumbling and back flip, that was actually Yuen Wah.
I think Bill Murray said this was the funniest movie he has ever seen
React to "the gods must be crazy". It's totally hilarious!
@just a random dingaling on youtube yes that’s the one.
@just a random dingaling on youtube They don't worship it, they just get a lot of use out of it but then actually decide it's evil.
Not only did he say it was the funniest, but went on to comment that we (the US) could learn a lot from this movie
As usual, he was right.
The best live action Dragonball Z movie that isn’t Dragonball Z.
It's funny that Stephen Chow is a big fan of DBZ
I mean, the second half of Man Of Steel was a better DBZ movie than DBZ.
This is more Dragonball. Volcano High would be akin to DBZ.
@@Deception975 True. it annoys me to see alot of people not knowing the original Dragonball i guess it's a american thing
@@Deception975 another dope movie he should react to especially the American version lol
You had no idea just how much I freakin' love this movie as a kid. I'll watch it repeatedly everytime the tv putting ads of the movie in it.This movie is just stupidly funny and entertaining 😂😂
Me to i watch this movie about 6× before i was 5 years old
Best reaction I’ve ever seen to this movie. I love all your laughter. Yes.. this movie takes it to mythical levels of Kung Fu.. each one higher than the last!
FINALLY!!!!
SOMEONE DID THIS HILARIOUS FLICK. I THINK ITS JUST FANN FUCKING TASTIC. ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND MY FRIEND.
I agree. When I saw this when it came out, it was great. It was pure entertainment, unlike the movies coming out these days.
i love this movie, but i hate how you need the DVD to watch the English Dub, all because the Landlady calls the Tailor a derogatory remark towards a gay man, talk about sensitivity censorship.
@@UltimateGamerCC SJW's doing their best, to make this country intolerable for the majority. Must feel good to play the victim all the time. Could there be a bigger bunch of losers. It's funny how people are not triggered by excessive killing but calling some dude a fairy. The world these days is in a strange place.
@@John57945 yeah, there are a bigger bunch of losers, they're called Karens, Karens are essentially real life trolls, you cant get a bigger loser than that. lol
Loving your reaction, and am super stoked because FINALLY someone reacted to this...will make a lot more peeps, reactors, aware. :)
The guy rings on his arms at minute 9:25, is an actual kung fu master. Acted in many Hong Kong kungfu movies since the 70's.
A lot of those guys are kung fu master or actors. The main villain (frog guy) is a famous kung fu actor from 70s and 80s. The landlord guy is also a respected kung fu artist starred in many Jacky Chan and even Bruce Lee flicks. Heck he was the stunt double for Bruce Lee doing a flip in one of the movies (rumoured has it Bruce Lee hurt his back during that time or can't do that scene).
@@ZxSpectrumplus the coolie (the first to die to the Gu Qin Assassins) is also a martial artist if I remember correctly.
The landlord actor and actress were classmates with Jackie Chan. They studied under the same master, learning Peking opera.
And used to run a Kung Fu school in Hong Kong, with many notable students.
I've noticed that after you reacted to this, there are now about 7 Kung Fu Hustle reactions. From 0 before you.. You are such a trendsetter. 😋
🙏🏾😁
"It's like taking the groceries to the house" Yeah man, two trips are for the weak. Lol!
The female landlord was always my favorite character
I might dress as her for Halloween.
Lady Helen of Troy
@@randiekay4994 hope people recognize u lol
Steven Chow (The lead actor, writer, AND director) is one of the greats, in my opinion. Seriously under appreciated. Check out Shaolin Soccer! It was his big film before this one, and equally hilarious.
He also did a more recent movie in kung fu league too.
Once you saw this movie hundred times to the points you no laugh anymore, you cry for the beatiful story and emotional scenes
Yessssss
Watched this while high with friends we almost died laughing. This the most random romantic comedic action filled movie I ever seen
"This has to be one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen!"
**just waits**
What Airplane is to wordplay this is to slapstick, while also being an awesome kung fu movie. It's a gem!
that's what i love about it, it's a Comedy AND a Kung Fu movie, beautifully intertwined so as to not be either too serious or too silly.
That knife throwing scene is a MASTER class in slapstick humor.
When I watched this for the first time, I honestly wasn't sure how I should be reacting a lot of the time, because it starts so serious...and yet quirky. But the scene where I totally "lost it" in terms of laughter... was the scene where the landlord and landlady suddenly "appear" in that car. I totally lost it at that! The looks on the bad guys' faces!! And part of it also was my sudden realization that these two were ALSO martial arts masters of some sort! I seriously "lost my shit" at that scene and had to pause the video, laugh, rewind, and rewatch it !! The look on that landlady's face with that cigarette dangling from her mouth! PRICELESS !!
12:45 that knife scene was hillarious
The knife scene slayed me the first time I watched it.
It still does it for me. Hillarious!
Stephen Chow not only wrote and directed, he was the main star as well. I think this film works because it's such an homage to the past but done in a contemporary and funny way but still makes you feel like a kid again. It has a sense of wonder with it's humor. I absolutely adore this film. It's just so creative, fun, and imaginative. Some of the effects look dated but they're easily overlooked because it just kind of fits the style. Maybe Stephen Chow was smart enough to have thought that out. This film truly is his vision, and what a vision it is. It's still going to be great in 50 years. His prior film to Hustle was Shaolin Soccer. It's a good play on a sports film. It's very fun too.
I love this movie and couldn't realy put a word to why, but you hit the nail on the head. It makes me feel like a kid again, it's fun, entertaining and doesn't take itself seriously so it gets away with everything
@@Kwstr42 Right? Everything about the film down to the soundtrack is made with love of film, and it's infectious. It appeals to the kid in all of us. That's what's going to make Hustle a timeless film. It's going to still be awesome in 50 years.
As a Chinese growing up watching Stephen Chow's comedies, here are the films Chow directed and acted that I recommand besides Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer:
The God of Cookery(1996) - Classic Chow's style comedy, lower class, hilarious battle, love and Kung Fu
From Beijing with Love(1994) - My personal favorite, Chow's version of James Bond
King of Comedy(1999) - Kind of like an autobiography of Chow as a comedian, how he climbed from bottom to top
As a one-of-a-kind comedian actor, Chow also delivered many great comedies working with other directors, and here are a few I recommand:
God of Gamblers II(1990)
Tricky Brains(1991) - Master of pranks
Fight Back to School(1991)
Sixty Million Dollar Man(1995)
Some films like Royal Tramp(1992) and Flirting Scholar(1993) are rewritten from Chinese ancient stories, and also funny as hell.
Okay then awesome dude
I’m so delighted to see that so many people had the pleasure of seeing this movie! It was before it’s time and nothing has been done since. It’s one of my favorite movies and I remember seeing it in theaters when I was 14. It’s truly iconic!
The level of psyched I was to see this on my UA-cam page is embarrassing.
You and me both bro
RIGHT I literally didn’t realize until I saw it in my feed but I fucking adore this movie
I thought the part where the main character steals the ice cream was kind of sad, he forced himself to laugh at the girl trying to catch up to him, not realizing she didn't care about the ice cream at all.
His empty bitter laugh... hurt so much.
Yup
Funniest cruel moment ever.
The laugh showed he really hated himself doing it.
Yeah this movie managed to nail the emotional side even amongst all the comedy and action. Mell got it right when he said this dude trying way too hard to be evil.
I always feel like this movie kind of just scooted under the radar for a lot of people, and that always breaks my heart. This movie is incredible, so glad to see more people finding it and enjoying it!
Thank you for watching and reacting to a movie outside of the typical Hollywood industry - you keep an open mind and you'll find many eye-openers. I just find that there are a lot of people in the US who just keep thinking they're the best without really exploring outside the box or appreciate what others have done.
I wish more people would react to this movie
They're much poorer, experiencewise, for having never seen it.
I agree
"What... are you.... prepared to do?!?"
The line given by the dying master, is a line reference to "The Untouchables". As it's spoken in English, there are no subtitles for it.
This is why we get so hyped for Martial art movies. I can never get enough of it!
11:45 had me in tears! I need to watch this movie again! 🤣🤣🤣
Yoo been noticing what's with the sudden surge of kung fu hustle reactions lol
Not complaining this movie deserves it
@@Gnossiene369 It also just became avaliable on streaming services, netflix if I recall correctly.
i think someone should do a reaction video for mad monk and justice my foot
Fuckin loved this movie since I was a kid too I'm glad more people are watching it even this long after it came out
Ikr i never get tired watching SC movies so I'm rewatching em thru yt reactions
It’s also how they get into people’s algorithms. If you watched Mr Video watch it, UA-cam suggest more of the same. So if one reactor does it and it hits, the rest do. Pretty smart.. I fall for it all the time
A personal favorite of mine Stephen Chow finds a perfect recipe for silly none sense comedy but adds good choreography and creative fighting sequences and gives it true emotion and heart man I didn't expect this movie to be one I watch every 2 years or so
Kung Fu Hustle and The Abyss are the most underrated movies on UA-cam reactions.
More people should be reacting to them.
Your reaction is the best ! Your laughter really cracks me up 😂.
I don't think there's a movie that I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes and my stomach ached....lol. And I really enjoyed watching you enjoy it as much as I did on my first time.👍
OH MY GOD Y E S. My dad and I LOVE to watch this movie together. It's so hilarious and if you understand the Cantonese it's even funnier.
It's 4am and you got me waking everyone up, Hahaha! I needed this, Thx man
Love your reaction. Reminded me of when I first watched this film and how much fun I had with all the "lol wtf moments." Dope shirt btw haha
Thank you for watching a comedy to offset the pain of Schindler's List. I showed this movie to my nephew to show him real Kung Fu, he didn't believe it.
Like I mentioned in another comment, The coolie was an actual Shaolin monk and the tailor is a well known martial artist/actor from the old Golden Harvest era (he often worked with Jackie Chan).
@@TaoOfTheFist The star of the movie was a stunt man and so were a lot of the others in the cast. This movie for me, is right on par with the Jackie Chan movies and I hope Mell discovers the non-Americanized Jackie Chan movies. Supercop is amazing and I want him to watch it.
@@TheFuriousfunk The star of the movie is Stephen Chow, and he wasn't a stuntman.
I have a book for your nephew. It has all the moves and positions to start training. Just $10 (or all your lifesavings for studying to become a doctor, in case you have less than $10).
@@TaoOfTheFist the tailor is hung gar kungfu master
The scene with the musicians is just pure art.
It feels soooo good to have you react to one of my all time fav movies! And I'm dying with laughter with you as I'm watching this lmao
Cool that you reviewed this film! It doesn’t get talked about enough. One of my favorite movies of all time. It’s so brilliant, in every way.
Kung Fu Hustle is such a classic
Fun fact: Stephen Chow was approached to direct that 2009 Dragon Ball movie but he declined to do so and in the end only agreed to produce it. Ah, what could have been...
Yeah man its so unfortunate
actually it was the other way around, Stephen Chow wanted to do it very badly, but the powers that be sidelined him and put him in as a producer instead.
@@primaludderz That's what I heard too, but Wikipedia claims otherwise. Though I'm guessing there's probably a lot of hearsay around what really happened behind the scenes that may or may not be accurate.
He was also gonna be director and play Kato in Seth Rogen's Green Hornet but had a lot of weird demands to the plot. Like GH was gonna have a microchip in his head and controlled by Kato. I think Stephen was messing with them, he wanted to see how much control they will allow him to have.
Fun fact: most of the actors are the same actors whos acting in all of his movies. They're just being in a different characters and that's what makes his movies more fun to watch!
I’m really happy that you noticed the filmmaking in this movie. It’s really well made.
It reminds me a lot of Mel Brooks before History of the World Part I: a lot of care goes into the look, the tone. and the characters, thus making the comedy a hell of a lot funnier.
At 20:51 he says “What are you… prepared… to do?!” But it’s in English.
21:48 is my favorite scene in this movie. It’s so moving.
Dude, you are my favorite among the other channels that I saw that reacted to this movie because you are the one that laughed the most (especially in the ice cream scene😂) so it makes us laugh too😂
Fucking. Love. This. Film. Stephen Chow also did Shaolin Soccer, which is kinda the same - it was so popular people kept going on at him to make another one, and got him so annoyed with the nonstop requests he deliberately wrote in the part in Hustle where he destroys the soccer ball.
I'd stopped watching reaction vids for a little while recently, kinda burned out on them - but I couldn't resist seeing you react to this masterpiece, and watching all of it hit you reminded me why reaction vids are good entertainment. Fucking awesome.
I was worried you were going to pass out from lack of oxygen from laughing so hard there. So glad you enjoyed it! It's a really great movie.
Brilliant reaction fella. I had rib ache because of laughter after the first time seeing this piece of art!! Just beautiful comedy action and skills with a tale. Cheers 🇬🇧 and don't forget the music.x
20:52 "What are you prepared to do?" - Jim Malone Untouchables 1987
omg how the fuck did you get that?
Loved the reaction! The fire in the car and the knife throwing scenes kill me every time
that scene with the lighter in the car had me laughing so hard it hurt to laugh for the rest of the movie
I have watched this movie like 10 times. Watching your reaction made me laugh again. Your laughter is so contagious.
Stephen Chow is my fav comedy actor,he never failed to make me laugh.All his movie is great!
Why am I laughing just as hard as you and I’ve seen this dam movie 85 times Lmfaooooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
cause it's that damn good... AND you cant help laughing with Mellow.
Mello's laughter makes it that much more fun!🤣
Stephen Chow isn't just the director, writer, and creative visionary for this movie.. he is also the main protagonist. If you are looking to watch something similar you MUST see 2001's Shaolin Soccer also by Stephen Chow as director, writer, and lead role. It has a lot of the same cast members and just as funny. Similar to this one, the CGI isn't the best but its a movie made almost 2 decades ago.
Edit: Great video btw, Kung Fu Hustle is finally getting some recognition by foreign countries around the world and its rare to see a someone talk about how beautifully shot and directed this film is.
This is one of the most straight up FUN films I have EVER seen,the comedy is truly hilarious(at least to my sense of humour).Anytime I need a mood lifter this is a go to DVD which nvr fails to lift my mood!It’s shot & directed brilliantly,the fight scenes are dope as f*** & the special effects still look amazing all these years later!A true masterpiece imo
this is such a classic, I've watched it since i was in middle school and man I've never forgotten a single scene of it lmao
I forgot how much I enjoyed this movie. I remember laughing hard enough to cry during the knife throwing scene.
Man I am so glad that you decided to watch this. Stephen Chow is a king when it comes to funny movies. Everybody will mention Shaolin Soccer, but if you ever have the time look up his other flicks.
Fun fact, the guy with the bags who was whupping people with kicks was an actual Shaolin monk at one point. His name is Xing Yu I believe. The gay tailor is another real life kung fu master named Chiu Chi Ling. He actually teaches in Cali and in Hong Kong.
Mello..if you want a good film with the shaolin monk guy, watch Wrath of Vajdra. Dude goes in on some Bruce Lee chen zen shit.
Nostalgia we used to watch this atleast 2-3 a month
This is one of my favorite movies of all time ever
So I'm watching react, and there are tears of joy and appreciation in my eyes... that's how much I love this movie. Can't get a single person in my life to ever watch it with me... thanks man.
The line "What are you prepared to do?!" is a reference to the movie 'The Untouchables' starring Kevin Costner and Sean Connery.
@just a random dingaling on youtube yes. BTW, one of my favorite songs is My Dingaling by Chuck Berry performed live where he the male audience say 'My' and the female audience say 'Dingaling'.
@just a random dingaling on youtube That's what starring means...
One of my favorite movies. Your reactions were basically the same ones I had first time seeing it. Glad you really got hype wit it!
Kills me everytime they pan through the apartments and the husband just starts swinging back
That comparison to "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit" is spot on
Watching this movie bring tears to my eyes at times.. brings back so many nostalgia from other movies. Also the part where he didn't pay for the ice cream and laughing on the train as the girl watched.. yeah that part, I didn't laugh but almost cried.
I keep watching your reaction to this. So funny. Best movie reaction I’ve seen. 🤣✌️😊
So happy when people watch this gem...I remember coming across it years ago outta nowhere. Awesome movie, good on you for watching it with English subtitles instead of overdub.
This movie has everything, Martial arts, comedy, romance, drama, crime, horror, this is my top 10 favorite movies
Broo, I love how you watching Stephen Chow’s movies! I’m a big fan of Stephen Chow. I’m looking forward for more video you watching his movies!
I grew up on some of these films and I'm so glad that so many others are enjoying it as well.
This particular movie really hits home, and my heart.. I really appreciate the way you viewed the movie in its true nature, and allowed the actors to be heard in their dialect and read the subtitles rather than translated into English. Alot of great foreign movies are destroyed when someone translates their own monolog. Thanks again, this was my sons favorite movie we watched over and over. Unfortunately I lost him to cancer Dec 2011 @ the age of thirteen. But I sure had a wonderful time watching crazy movies like this one. I will always remember my son, and glad there are movies that will help remind me if the good times.Keep up the awesime work, your channel is growing and you are a truly blessed person.
So Sorry,Best wish for U ,hope U feel Better from china.

Thank you my friend. 🙂
When the guy starts dancing for no reason after he took out that guy's leg, i'm like that's weird but i'm HERE for it! Also, I laughed so hard that i cried at the knife bit!
finally someone reacted to the full subbed version. this is probably my favorite comedy movie ever 🤣
To this day one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
