Kung Fu Hustle
ActionAdventureComedyCrimeFantasy99 min
In 1940s Shanghai, a small-time crook trying to bluff his way into the feared Axe Gang kicks off a gang war he can’t control. Stephen Chow is Sing, an aspiring hood whose schemes with his sidekick Bone leave them caught between tuxedoed mobsters and the hidden fighters living in a battered slum. As the Axe Gang closes in, unlikely residents emerge with martial-arts skills that turn the neighborhood into a battlefield of flying kicks, street brawls, and deadpan chaos. Directed by Chow, the film mixes gangster-movie stakes with broad slapstick and exaggerated kung fu spectacle.
