About

About the movie:

Kung Fu Hustle is a martial arts film first released in Hong Kong in 2004. It was released for general US debut on April 22, 2005 after showing in Los Angeles and New York for two weeks. The North American Version of its DVD was released on August 8, 2005.

Kung Fu Hustle is a humorous mockery of the wuxia genre, played and directed by Stephen Chow. It contains most of the characteristics of a typical wuxia movie, with a lot of ridiculous exaggerations, serious situations and comic plots.

The use of visual effects used have been widely acclaimed and the almost comic book style of the movie are its most striking features. It is in stark contrast to recent Kung Fu movies that have made an impact in the West, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero. Despite the computer-generated imagery and cartoonish scenes in the second half of the movie, the movie pays tribute to many famous Kung Fu film veterans from the 1970s who were all real martial artists on their own right. Many early fight scenes were packed with real Chinese martial arts.

About the Name:

Well, the name of this fanlisting wasn't really cleverly thought out of to really symbolize something. If you watched Kung Fu Hustle, you'll know that there's something in the movie that has do to with lollipops and axes. I liked how the two compared to each other so I stuck them in the same phrase to come up with a nifty title. : )
