In the early 2000s, Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer, The Mermaid), the clown prince of Hong Kong cinema, leapt from lampooning local quirks to poking fun at everything from sports to cherished Chinese legends. His films became worldwide hits. Kung Fu Hustle was his breakthrough: an anarchic, relentlessly hilarious homage to—and lampoon of—classic martial arts movies. Featuring a cast of legendary Hong Kong action stars, it pits the ragtag denizens of a rundown slum against the dapper and ruthless Axe Gang. A nonstop series of action sequences is fueled by some of the most outrageous special effects ever devised. (Dir.: Stephen Chow, Hong Kong, 2004, 96 min., 35mm, Cantonese with English subtitles) Images courtesy of Photofest |
