Trivia
Three scenes are not directed by Stephen Chow. The fight that reveals the three Pig Stye Masters is directed by Sammo Kam-Bo Hung. The "Burly Brawl" parody, where the One fights the thousand men in black suits, and the fight in the night, where the three masters face the two musicians, were directed by Woo-Ping Yuen.

I liked Shaolin Soccer, it was full of laughs and Stephen Chow has done it again with Kung Fu Hustle. It's not in the same vein as Shaolin Soccer and it is not a belly full of laughs, but it certainly emphasised his love of action movies especially Martial Art movies. The film pays homage to all those Hong Kong Martial Arts Serials, Bruce Lee and the action genre in general. I would even say that Kung Fu Hustle is a more refined Shoalin Soccer in terms of storyline, action sequences and acting.
The setting is great with some nice scenes of old Hong Kong and the way people used to live. The fight scenes were pretty good, especially at the start with the three masters fighting the Axe Gang. Okay, the story was predictable but that didn't take away the enjoyment one bit.
Overall, it is a highly recommended movie to watch and I can't wait for his next film.
