Movie: Kung Fu Hustle

Kung Fu Hustle is one of my favorite Chinese movies. It was a funny film, and made me laugh out loud several times. But it was also very beautiful.

Steven Chow is known for his humor. I remember when I first started watching Chinese movies, he was one of the most accessible actors for me to follow, mostly because his humor is very physical. Much like Jackie Chan, Chow uses his whole body to engage the audience, and to get a laugh.

Kung Fu Hustle was all that, and yet was also a beautiful film. Chow said he wanted the film to be a tribute to Bruce Lee, and some big name actors came together to make that possible. It was really a special endeavor, and well done. I think the film will be a favorite for years to come.
