Bill Murray said about this movie: "there should have been a day of mourning for American comedy the day that movie came out, because it was the supreme achievement of modern comedy". And the man knows what he is talking about. This movie is a true masterpiece.
"No More Soccer" is his first line, when he deflated the kids ball. His previous film was "Shaolin Soccer", just as over the top, and hilarious as this one. "Kung Fu Hustle", is one of my all time favorite movies.
6:42 - Writer/Director/Actor Stephen Chow's previous movie "Shaolin Soccer" was a big hit so when he pops the soccer ball and says "No more soccer!" it was him telling the audience it's time to move on! LOL.
Stephen Chow is so underrated (in Western countries). Here in Asia, everybody knows him and his legendary partner Ng Man Tat (RIP). They've been in the industry from the late 80s' and producing great numbers of this consistent comedy-action-drama movie style...
I love that there's all these little hints that our hapless protagonist is more than he seems from the start - him managing to outrun Landlady, his rapid healing...which means the pamphlet he got as a kid really did work, he just had a body out of wack - that's why him getting everything rearranged and then healed by Landlady made him invincible.
Exactly, some reactors even laugh when they see that boy being beaten and urinated on his head, and that made me sick and immediately closed the video. Furthermore, when he mocked the girl on the tram, his laughter actually revealed confusion and sadness, and that requires strong empathy to feel. I'm glad to see the most suitable feeling in this video.
@@AlandaParker the ice cream seller whom u said was stunning has acted in another movie named "The Sorcerer and the White Snake". Her external beauty is unmatched imo
No matter how many times, I watch it, the story of the boy and the girl & especially the end scene always gets me. Without saying a word, she was such an effective actress. (Including her younger self (whoever actually played her )) Each time I see this, I say to myself, "Please don't get old. Don't let this be the day, where I am so used to the film that I don't laugh or cry as much and therefore enjoy it slightly less." I even tempt fate by seeing it quite a few times per year. I think it's about to edge out Galaxy Quest as my most watched film. That's quite a feat, since I used to be quite a Star Wars nut.
36:03 "Or a stuntman more likely!" Love the fact that Stephen Chow, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, and tons more all literally started most of their film careers by being extras and doing stunts.
Fun fact: The landlord and landlady, were the martial art big brother and sister (classmate) of Jacky Chen in real life during their teenage years. The landlady, Yuen Qiu, was in the James Bond movie The Man With The Golden Gun. She was one of the school girls who save Bond when escaping from the Karate school. Her husband the landlord was played by Yuen Wah, who was Bruce Lee's stunt double in Enter The Dragon. When you see Bruce doing the acrobatic tumbling and back flip, that was actually Yuen Wah.
jet li was a kungfu master (like nationally ranked fighter) before he started his career in film. jackie chan was always a trained stuntman. the difference is not known by a lot of western audiences since jackie chan has branded himself as a real fighter.
@@AlandaParker Best wardrobe award goes to: Landlord in the casino scene, can't touch the lime-green alligator loafers, though the silk pajama look is up there.
I saw this movie when I was 15, by myself, it was released shortly in the USA I think summer of 2004? Anyways, my friends didn't want to see it, so I went alone. The next week forced them to come see it, bought their tickets and all. They loved Steven Chow, the director is am absolute genius. The fight scene where the three masters reveal their skills, the 12 kicks. guys, the punching guy and. the Bo staff guy... absolutely genius.
The scene with the landlady in the car doing the hand gestures to the boss of the gang was from a Bruce Lee movie. I can't remember which one, but definitely remember the scene. It's cool that you had fun with Kung Fu Hustle. Somehow, it's a very polarizing film. You caught the cartoon/looney tunes vibe and if you watched those as a kid, you'd kind of get this movie. Shaolin Soccer from Stephen Chow (main lead from this movie..who started off as a stuntman, the landlady line about him towards the end of this movie was an inside joke) was also good.
Kung Fu Hustle is my 3rd favorite movie of all-time... So many great hidden Easter Eggs and Subtle References right from Jump. The opening credits has the Butterfly which is a reference to the main character played by Stephen Chow of his metamorphosis. The 3 Masters, the 1st time you see the Coolie, he kicks the sack of grain onto his shoulders foreshadowing his kicking ability. The first shot of Donut he's rolling out Congee with his staffs all around his shop. When Tailor is introduced, his Rings are shown prominently in his boutique. When the Landlord 1st appears, he drinks Fluid and slinks around the neighborhood relaxed. His power is Fluidity and Flexibility, like water. The Landlady 1st appears and she's screaming which foreshadows her abilities, and lastly the Beast, when he's sitting on the toilet, all around his room are Frogs... This movie is brilliant. Stephen Chow has made other movies, none as good as this or Shaolin Soccer. Kung Fu Hustle is his Magnum Opus
Wow, I’ve watched a video and a half and I think this might be the best reaction channel on RUclips. Pretty cool to find someone who is culturally literate but who hasn’t already seen everything and isn’t a know-it-all. Subscribed.
I am so happy to see more people reacting to this underrated comedy diamond! I used to watch it at least twice a day everyday while I was in college back in 2004-05. The epic fail of a knife throwing assassination attempt & epic foot chase is my favorite scene in the film. It never ceases to make me laugh.
*I first saw this movie with my Sister in NY! My Sister is no longer here and I left NY long ago but I still have the memories. Thanks for the reaction!*
Glad you enjoyed Kung Fu Hustle. It is somewhat of an underrated and sometime overlooked terrific comedy film. Stephen Chow is a comedic genius and not to worry Chow says the sequel to Kung Fu Hustle will be released someday or in the near future LOL! Great reaction as always. You should take a side trip thru the Mel Brooks universe with Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs if you haven't already seen them.
Best kung Fu movie ever! I grew up watching kung Fu movies. Comparing this to those movies is like comparing a model T to a Tesla. Steven Chou raised the game. So fun, stylish and unexpectedly full of heart.
Your reaction to this movie was truly an absolute joy to watch. Seeing people discover this movie for this first time and appreciating its unique style of comedy always puts a smile on my face. Even though I've seen this movie numerous times, your lovely comments and jokes throughout made the experience of going through it again so fun and refreshing. I immediately subscribed to your channel the second the video ended and I'm looking forward to working through all your previous reactions. If you're looking for more Kung fu/Martial Arts Chinese films, I highly recommend Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Hero (2002). These two movies in particular are some of the very best that the country and genre have to offer.
"Are you shitting on a paper towel?!" Gurl, this sent me 😂😂😂😂. You are amazing. Discovered you cause I'm a Scream fan and loved your reaction to the series (can't wait till you do a video from Scream '22), and fell in love with your charisma and been bingeing ever since. You are #blaxcellence embodied my sister, such a gorgeous articulated woman, and an amazing creator with such sharp wit and biting finesse. Love watching you do horror. May the universe bring you all the success you deserve and much more! 🤞🏾🍀🙏🏾 Sending you a lotta luv from Brazil 🇧🇷!! 😘❤️😘
Ok... I've not had a movie reaction have my whole body hurting from laughing so hard! This is one of my favorite all time movies, and you had me see it totally different from what I'm used to... thank you! Liked and subscribed!
One of the only movies I can watch multiple times in one sitting. Glad you liked it, your reaction was fun. I have a martial arts movie suggestion - Five Deadly Venoms (1978).
Now this is a reaction! None of that fake pretend know it all talk over scenes. You’re genuine and funny, and you actually watch, you get a subscriber! ^o^
Tell you more, Yuen Qui(landlady) this was her first film in 20 years. She wasn't even going to take this role, she was bringing a protege to audition and Stephen Chow begged her. She attended the Peking Opera House which is essentially a school that teaches theater, acting, gymnastics, martial arts, etcetera. She attended with many legends including Jackie Chan & Yuen Wah(her husband in the film) Danny Chan(Sum/Axe gang leader) has an uncanny resemblance to Bruce Lee. So much so he parodied him in Steven Chow's Shaolin Soccer. He would go on to portray Bruce Lee in Ip Man 3 & 4 as well as The legend of Bruce Lee. When the landlady said Sing would probably be good as a Stuntman. She was talking about her husband in the film, who is predominantly a stuntman. Stephen Chow would create one more movie called CJ7 which was really good, in 2008. Then he retired from acting focusing on writing and directing
Starting at 17:07 of this video is the chase sequence and the music accompanying that sequence is known as “Zigeunerweisen.” If you have not watched this piece be played, it’s a must see. There are several arrangements here on YT and the song(particularly the violin solo) is generally so chaotic but oh so fun. I hope some of ya take the chance to watch it, really makes you appreciate those that dedicate their time to their particular craft. Edit: The slower song in the scene that follows the chase sequence is another movement in this song too.
Thank you so much for this!! I’ll def be lookin it up! I played the viola for 8 years. Even though I haven’t been in an orchestra for a long time, I love to watch one
@@tobywijaya2982 Chinese Odyssey Part 1. Pandora box and Part 2. Cinderella are both considered to be classics. People's views of the movies change with time as they watched these 2 movies. The first perception would probably be that they are comedies but later viewing like a decade or more later, they would believe that the movies are actually tragedies and subsequent viewing might change again . . . that they impart some philosophies of life.
This is one of my favorite all time movies. I'm glad you enjoyed it too. Your reaction is the absolute best I've ever seen. I've watched it more than once.
One of my favorite movies. Always happy to see someone else enjoy it for the first time. The crushed soccer ball bit at the beginning is a reference to Chow's prior film "Shaolin Soccer." People had been clamoring for a sequel, but Chow didn't want to make one. Hence, "No more soccer!" If you enjoyed this one, I'd definitely recommend putting Shaolin Soccer on the to-watch list eventually.
Another kung-fu classic that switched back and forth between goofball comedy and touching drama--albeit neither as _intensely_ goofball nor heartwrenching--was _Last Hero in China_ AKA _Claws of Steel,_ starring Jet Li in his prime. It's a riot.
Im not sure you'll find anything in the genre that will come close to this magnificently crafted piece of over the top cinema. No matter how many times I see it it always delivers.
@16:20 You said “nonsense”. This group, lead by Stephen Chow, had been making films for years and they created their own genre in Hong Kong which is called “Nonsense”.
House of Flying Daggers is another one by Zhang Yimou featuring Zhang Ziyi, EXCELLENT film with great fight scenes! I agree that CTHD is a vital choice for the martial arts genre and Chocolate truly rocked my world!
I dont know how this reaction found its way onto my feed but im glad it did! I absolutely love your reactions, smile, comments, and sass! i clicked subscribe so fast! this is one of my favorite movies. Also you reacted on my Bday! =D
About 40 years ago in many impoverished countries in East Asia there was tremendous economic development. And then these countries have gradually become strong and balanced with economic power with Europe and North America. Cinema and movies at this time were also symbols of that miraculous economic development.
I knew I'd like this reaction video when you deliberately chose to watch it in the original Cantonese! My hunch was confirmed in the opening scene when you caught the Matrix reference without realizing it was an actual reference LOL I'm always so happy when I see someone discover this masterpiece because it's literally the all-stars of kung-fu cinema history gathered together into one film. It's fascinating to read about the epic ton of movie and cultural references packed in here - from China AND Hollywood!
man i had a lot of fun seeing you react! Especially how youre so good at putting metaphors. "That looks like a bad game of twister" AHAHAHA i died on that part! But im so glad you had so much fun with this movie! Please watch Shaolin Soccer! It stars and directed by the same actor in this movie and i think its funnier and more romantic!
Bill Murray said about this movie: "there should have been a day of mourning for American comedy the day that movie came out, because it was the supreme achievement of modern comedy". And the man knows what he is talking about. This movie is a true masterpiece.

Im not sure you'll find anything in the genre that will come close to this magnificently crafted piece of over the top cinema. No matter how many times I see it it always delivers.
this was a follow up to shoalin soccer, another great one.
I put it on my list! I didn’t even know there was a film that went before this one
The 2 gang leaders in the car immediately developed essential tremor after the land lady threatened them…that scene was hilarious
“Can you chill Nosferatu?” 😏
@16:20 You said “nonsense”. This group, lead by Stephen Chow, had been making films for years and they created their own genre in Hong Kong which is called “Nonsense”.
6:06 His shoe flies off 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Flying shoes is a big part of this company’s work.
New sub.. Love your singing voice... OMG!!! Also, love your reactions. Much love Ms. Parker.
I looove this movie, it's one of my favorites, it has good action, and comedy, and the love story element doesn't detract from it and is really sweet.
*Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon* its a must if you want to watch kung-fu movies.
Also : HERO, Chocolate (2009), Forbidden Kingdom.
House of Flying Daggers is another one by Zhang Yimou featuring Zhang Ziyi, EXCELLENT film with great fight scenes! I agree that CTHD is a vital choice for the martial arts genre and Chocolate truly rocked my world!
Chocolate is fantastic
Or any Jackie Chan from the 80' s & 90's
Crouching Tiger’s on my list! Thanks for the other suggestions!! 😊
I dont know how this reaction found its way onto my feed but im glad it did! I absolutely love your reactions, smile, comments, and sass! i clicked subscribe so fast! this is one of my favorite movies. Also you reacted on my Bday! =D
Happy Belated!! 🎉 and thank you!
"Cantonese Abe Lincolns" LOL. Love you for that :)
Let's go! Love this movie. Thanks for the react! You're wonderful.
Kung Fu Hustle is one out of so many amazing Hong Kong action comedies. Please dive in all the way!
Subbed. I had fun watching how much fun you were having watching this brilliant movie.
I loved the The Shinning reference with the blood flooding the corridor on that asylum. loved your reaction you are very cultured :) new sub.
Excellent subtitles! I have seen a couple of reactions to this movie and yours seems to have the best subtitles!
Good reaction too
About 40 years ago in many impoverished countries in East Asia there was tremendous economic development. And then these countries have gradually become strong and balanced with economic power with Europe and North America. Cinema and movies at this time were also symbols of that miraculous economic development.
One of my favorite comedy movies ever, great reaction!
Mine too now! Thank you!! 😊
I knew I'd like this reaction video when you deliberately chose to watch it in the original Cantonese! My hunch was confirmed in the opening scene when you caught the Matrix reference without realizing it was an actual reference LOL I'm always so happy when I see someone discover this masterpiece because it's literally the all-stars of kung-fu cinema history gathered together into one film. It's fascinating to read about the epic ton of movie and cultural references packed in here - from China AND Hollywood!
It was a treat watching you react. Thank you.
"You got you head Looney Tuned" lololol, Subscribed.
man i had a lot of fun seeing you react! Especially how youre so good at putting metaphors. "That looks like a bad game of twister" AHAHAHA i died on that part! But im so glad you had so much fun with this movie! Please watch Shaolin Soccer! It stars and directed by the same actor in this movie and i think its funnier and more romantic!
