Movie Review: Kung Fu Hustle

If you've seen Crouching Tiger.. Hero.. or any similar films you know how beautiful and creative Chineese cinema can be. After watching Kung Fu Hustle, add funny to that. Its a totally different twist on the spiritual martial arts film, about a Hong Kong slum, seemingly pulled from a musical, and a gang of killers that tries to take it over. I'll spare you the plot details, but it invloves four kung fu masters who just want to be regluar people, and a wannabe gang member who realizes what side he belongs on.. but the real neat thing about the movie is how funny it is, and the mix of traditional martial arts action mixed with Looney Toons-like cartoon scenes. Very cool, check it out.
