Rustle me up some Kung Fu Hustle

Advantages: Amazing visuals and action scenes, funny moments
Disadvantages: Very very silly

...films, Shaolin Soccer, and this, Kung Fu Hustle, which have earned him worldwide fame. Although at 42 he’s a bit old to be called the next Jackie Chan, the resemblances are there, with his films being a mix of comedy, martial arts and action. And like Jackie Chan, as well as acting and doing all his own stunts, he also writes, produces and edits his own films! In Kung Fu Hustle, set in 1940s China, a city is being terrorised by the Axe gang, a ...
...away. Chow plays a kung fu wannabe, Sing, who dreams of joining the axe gang because “the good guys never win”. However, fate has a different agenda, and Sing ends up defending the street against not just the gang but also the world’s top killer, known only as The Beast. Perhaps that Buddhist Palm Kung Fu booklet he was given on the street as a child will come in handy at last… Although it’s not the most thought-provoking or demanding of films, ...

Review of Kung Fu Hustle (DVD)

Great trilogy

Advantages: The original ideas for 'The Departed'
Disadvantages: Infernal Affairs 2 and 3 are subtitled and not english dubbed if that annoys you

After watching the first film i was intrigued by the characters and glad the ...

Review of Infernal Affairs - The Trilogy (Subtitled) (DVD)

Infernal Affairs- Hong Kong cop thriller

Advantages: Tense, slick, well-paced film, star-studded film
Disadvantages: A bit too much editing

Infernal Affairs aka Mou gaan dou This is the gripping cop thriller that capulted the Hong Kong cinema from complete obscurity to an acknowledged place of cinema alongside Japan and South Korea. It became popular overseas that even a remake of the film was created, namely the Departed- which is not a chip on the original. The film really did change my view on Hong Kong cinema, as I had the belief that the Hong Kong cinema could not reinvent themselves ...
...the same. I was utterly wrong. Gone are the gangs-gun films like The Killer, Hard Boiled, City on Fire, etc. The release of the film that met with instant success meant even more gangster-crime-thrillers from Hong Kong could be released to overseas with similar reaction. The film is brimming to the edge with massive stars of Hong Kong itself- Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang and Edison Chen, their performances makes this film truly ...
