fun fact Stephen Chow announced he is finally working on the script for a sequel film. might not be tied to the original cast, but the premise set up by the homeless guy with his "kung fu manuals" and that little kid.
Oh my, this is gonna be gooooood. The answer to every "why" question you will have (because y'all almost always start your sentences with why? haha just playin')is "Because it's a kung-fu movie." They're having fun with stereotypes and tropes that are found in old kung-fu flicks (and a lot of other media), and just greatly overdramatizing things for comedy. Love it!
Guys, Welcome to KUNG FU HUSTLE!! The answer to a lot of your questions are layered within a plethora of Easter Eggs and movie references including but not limited to: Dragon Ball Z, Road Runner, Bugs Bunny, The Big Green Catterpillar, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Fu Manchu, The Monkey King, Wong Fei Hung, Zu Warriors and The Five Deadly Venoms. Two important notes: 1. The Football squash was a reference to Stephen Chow's previous movie Shaolin Soccer. It was a message to fans that there would be no sequel to that movie despite its record breaking success. 2. The action choreography was directed by Grandmaster Yuen Woo Ping, who is famous for designing the action scenes for The Matrix, Kill Bill, The Drunken Master, Fist Of Legend and many others.
Also when Donut is dying he says in English "WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO!" as a throwback to The Untouchables movie where Sean Connerys charcter dies and he asked Eliot Ness that question meaning he has to be prepared to go beyond his limits in order to deal with Al Capone.
@@pabloesco2007 a notable one is Yuen Wah (The Landlord), he was Bruce Lee's stunt double in Enter The Dragon, he did Lee's back flip and somersault in that movie.
@@SpidermanandhisAmazingFriendsthat hurts my feelings. + we don’t talk about Dragonball (spelled wrong because America) Evolution, it is a disaster piece 😂
Stephen Chow is one of my favorite Hong Kong actor and filmmaker. Chow, Jackie, Sammo Hung, Uncle Tat (RIP), and Jet Li are my favorite Chinese actors growing up.
I love this movie. I had no idea what to expect and then it was just all over the place. It’s like Looney Tunes but then turns into this amazing cinematic and story. Such a unique mix of humor, action, and storytelling and just so foreign to western cinema, especially when it was made. So good
"Why this movie got deep out of nowhere", I think this is the correct statement about Stephen Chow film style or humor, He said by himself. Others call him comedy king, but he doesn't understand that, all his life he has filming in more tragedies story than comedy, his classic films of the 90s Always like that, There are two typical movies about this: "King of Comedy" and "A Chinese Odyssey" they are sad and sad, But we keep laughing when we watch it as a kid, we thought is ridiculous , until we grow up and think about it We cry, we finally understand.
This is the story of a man, destined by the heaven to be a hero. No matter how desperate he was to revert to crime, prevented by divine intervention, somehow he just couldn't do any crime even though he wanted to. In a lot of chinese story there are many stories like this, usually a deva or buddha disciple, he got punished and reborn as a human with no memory, who has to suffer and remember his true self and why he got punished, and only after he repent and realized why he was punished, he can claim his power back. Stephen Chow did a similar story in God of Cookery, but this time he removed the 'obvious' heaven part. The main character here has to remember his destiny (to be a hero) and only then the god would 'return' his power. And the part at the end where he as if returned to being a kid is a symbol of him returning to heaven and reclaimed his godhood.
The beggar looking man that met the actor when he was young is not an ordinary person. He is actually a sage who moves around looking for natural born talents of kung fu. So he charged that amount to see if the child has a heart of sacrifice and determination. Just subscribed to your channel. The next one you should react to is shaolin soccer. It is quite awesome and produced by the same Stephen Chow. Hillarious till this day 😂
this movie is sooo timeless in its effects because the movie itself is soo ridiculous it just works. Everything it done purposely oulandish and perfectly shot its amazing no matter how old it is.
This movie is one of the few my whole family could watch a few times and the laughs where everywhere. Im not sure how we first got to it, but then we got it in digital and saw it a few more times. Its just very well done.
"sometimes we don't find everything funny and sometimes we don't understand why the joke was even made" 15:46 literally one of the most sad moments of the movie and both were laughing, just like the entire thing lmao. Those movies are so damn good, nice reaction.
I love when movies are equal homage and satire (Kung Fu Hustle, Cabin in the Woods, and Hot Fuzz off the top my head). So for this movie, it was partially making fun of some of the stuff in kung fu movie, all while being a really good kung fu movie. Cabin in the Woods makes fun of horror movies while being an excellent horror movie. And I think Hot Fuzz does the same with action/thriller/buddy cop films. There should be a word of it.
certain satire movies are works of art - and kung fu hustle is certainly one of them Honestly, the ones that come to my head would be the first 2 scary movies (and DBAMWJYJITH, aka dont be a menace lol), theres just certain movies that blend homage and satire into something magical
I'm glad you guys had a fun time with this 😂 My dad first showed this to me when I was like 7, and it's still the most fun movie I've ever watched. Stephen Chow is great at mixing intensity with comedy!
Love. Love. Love this film. I can't believe it's 20 yrs old. Your reaction to this movie was one of the best I have ever seen. So much fun. Your laughs are contagious. And editing on point. Thank you. Keep it up.
The ending showing the star and the lady as children is to show their original kindness and innocent love .. their inner characters .. since the day they met.
Love this movie. Starring and directed by Stephen Chow. It's definitely suppose to be a goofy and over the top but the story n action in his movies are good. Guess yall watching Shaolin Soccer next 😂
Easily one of my favorite reactions to my favorite movie! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your initial skepticism evaporate as the movie unfolded. Thank you for the great content! It was almost as fun as the first time I watched the movie 20 years ago.
one detail I've always likes was when Sing becomes The One, toe-stomping is an integral part of his arsenal, even though The Beast calls it "kids' stuff". but think about it; Sing was a kid when he taught himself kung fu from that manual, so now he fights like the hero he dreamed of becoming as a child and not even The Beast is immune to the Toe Crusher >:D
To me this is like a live action loony tunes cartoon mixed with kung fu, comedy and action. It’s one of my favorite movies. It’s so different and awesome…
first time watching this movie at a cinema the crowd (maybe 300 to 400 people) acted like a stadiom watching the finals ! all where screaming laughing and crying , on of the best movie experience ever ! best wishes from germany !
I loved this movie so much as a teenager that I even bought it for the PSP on UMD disc. Just imagine watching this in the mid 2000s on a 4.3 inch screen with 272p resolution...with 3 other friends tryna lean in to see. It was a technical marvel to me at the time so I almost preferred it to DVD just for the novelty. Plus you could watch it on the bus and in the cafeteria! I swear that handheld made me more popular in high school. Simpler times lol
You should watch Shaolin Soccer (2001) next. Since you enjoyed this one. Shaolin Soccer (2001) is also brilliantly Directed, Produced, Written, and Acted as main character by the legendary Stephen Chow himself. Same as Kung Fu Hustle (2004). Please get the original cantonese language version, hong kong version. That's means preferably not the Americanized version (which is also cantonese spoken, but they edit the chinese characters by overlaying with english text, dubbed over the original sound effects, changed some music to english music, and simplified the english subtitles). WORST of all, they cut down 22 minutes of the original movie length (original 102 minutes to 80 minutes americanized version) Stephen Chow made both films emphasizing for the international audience in mind. It is his first big break into western market. He is already very famous and well known in Hong Kong, south-east asia, Asia in general. We love his unique style and humour. By the way, Stephon Chow announced to the public that he has finished the story draft for Shaolin Women's Soccer. He is auditioning for female actresses and we are finally getting another Stephen Chow directed movie (which is very, very rare nowadays), which is also a sequel to Shaolin Soccer (2001), after 22 years.
The "what are you prepared to do??" line spoken in English is a line from the movie The Untouchables, starring Sean Connery and Kevin Costner. A fun and really random reference.
If I could subscribe twice. Simply the best and most genuine reaction video I have ever seen. …you two were much funnier than the extremely funny movie. Encore.
The landlady was in a James Bond film when she was younger. She played one of two schoolgirls who protected Bond in "The Man With The Golden Gun" when he escaped the martial arts studio. ruclips.net/video/CswyGUZR3Ew/видео.html
This movie is so great. It's truly amazing. And your reactions made it a lot of fun to go through again. Stephen Chow is a genius, you guys need to watch Shaolin Soccer!!
-what are you... prepayu... to do?! -why you dont speak chinese?! Donut literally spoke english while entire film is in chinese and no one gets it haha
Loved how you guys hated this movie from the start, like we all did at first, but the action, cinematography, story all eventually got us and after the mute girl scene yous were invested. Awesome reaction guys lmao. Now do shaloin soccer, or maybe the shining lmao
You two are very fun to watch a reaction with. For Kung Fu Hustle it seemed you got most of the jokes and were able to enjoy the movie as it is. I subscribed and I'm looking forward to future reactions.
This is my 1st reaction to you guys, saw xiaolin soccer but wanted follow chronologically lol, and Sophie is so quick to pick stuff up and so is Mair but just love you guys pick up the "subtle" details other reactors miss or take forever to realize.
1. Kungfu, buddhism revolves around nature, that's why you see a lot of flora and fauna related style of kungfu. 2. Stephen Chow is director of comedy films who grew up loving Kungfu, so you don't really have to ask why when you're watching his works. He just did it to gauge some "this is absurd it's so funny" kind of reaction from audience. For further explanation on why this movie is one of the most brilliant movie ever made, watch an essay video by accented cinema about kungfu hustle. It really made me appreciate this movie more.
When the beast first sits down and fires the gun, then stops the bullet...he explains that SPEED determines the winner. So when he is fighting the fated lovers, he is shown punching far faster then the husband to show he outclasses the couple, then when The One is fighting the beast - he is faster then The Beast...superiority by the same measure. The Descending Palm from Heaven is explained by the couple while The One is up in the Sky meeting Buddha - a direct manifestation and divine message. Such a great movie.
they laughed as if they were ridiculing this film as it didn't make sense and was very strange, but strangely enough they were watching American superheroes like wow this film is really cool this film is really extraordinary... it's really racist... And that how they people live.. So stupid
Some movies you just have fun with, you don't question everything......different styles of movies tell different types of stories, have fun......glad to see you guys loosened up early on and caught on to the humor.
49:26 yes they made them children again at 48:54, as a form of redemption that when they were children, he rejected her initially and now he likely opened the candy store and accepted her, to redeem himself.
Once the tall dude stood up, I think you two really dialed into what was going on. This is one of my favorite movies. Steven Chow wrote, directed, and starred in the movie. He's gone on to be arguably the most successful director in Chinese history. If you want a serious action movie that is also excellent, try "Hero" starring Jet Li.
The Toad Style thing's a reference to this classic martial arts literature--Legend of the Condor Heroes. This villain had invented "Exploding Toad Kung Fu" where he builds up energy and throws every bit of it into a sudden all-out attack--like a frog's leap. This whole movie is full of references like that. The Landlord's dodging and making the musicians hit each other, this is based off something from the same--where a kung fu master could redirect energy that struck them.
The "Toad Style", in many martial arts fantasy novels, for years, have been associated with bad or ultimate villains (an evil martial art that they'd practise) ... so, this movie made a tribute or reference to it thru the "Beast" character ... the movie just took it in an exaggerated/animated approach! 😉👍 This movie did the similar to multiple other references.
This one came out in 2004. Twenty years old and still one of the best comedies!
And one of, if not *THE* best representation of Anime type fighting/action in a live action movie ever.
@@James-iu2km alita is pretty good as well, if you ask me also one of the best manga/anime to live action adaptations
@@James-iu2km I was going to say this exact thing. Hits all the sweet spots of what we love about anime fights.

Second movie is coming came out this or I think next year not sure
The 'no more soccer!' scene is a throwback to his preceding film, 'Shaolin Soccer'.
another good film
Yep it's answer for people who kept asking for Shaolin Soccer 2😂
Thought so too.
@@arinevermore Ah, I didn't know! Ahahahah!
@@jimmybobsap8729 Absolutely. Even if not as good as this one...
Bro went from “I’m not gonna laugh at all” to laughing his ass off 😂😂😂 gotta love it.
Now "Shaolin Soccer" is a must!!
Came to the comments to make sure this was said. When she appeared in the car, her warning was taken straight from a bruce lee movie
Journey to the West is even a better movie.

The most obvious suggestion off of this is Shaolin Soccer, which was made by the same people and even has a good chunk of the cast from Kung Fu Hustle

My favorite martial arts movie. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message and,"Who threw that handel?"
The "Toad Style", in many martial arts fantasy novels, for years, have been associated with bad or ultimate villains (an evil martial art that they'd practise) ... so, this movie made a tribute or reference to it thru the "Beast" character ... the movie just took it in an exaggerated/animated approach! 😉👍 This movie did the similar to multiple other references.
Wu Xia movie and literary genre has a lot of gems, but this is the funniest.
Kungfu hustle and shaolin soccer are literally the closest movies we got to a live anime imo. Action, comedy, and romance, cant complain lol.
This is to Kung Fu movies as 'Scary Movie' is to Scary Movies. It takes all of the classic tropes of old kung fu movies and turns them up to 11/10.
