"This is better than any Marvel movie I've seen in the last 4 years". YES. Man that final scene with him and the girl reverting to their inner kids is too much for me as well, right in the feels.

The amazing thing is, this movie is made 18 years ago and it's still blows a lot of recent movies out of the water. It's humor, action, cinematography, music, story, and the actors they are all world class

In classic wuxia novels (epic kungfu novels), the "Toad Style" of the Kun Lun School is up there among the best kungfu styles in the world, but yeah the "Buddhist's Palm" is always number one. The landlord uses Tai Chi Fist from the Wu Dang School while his wife uses Lion's Roar from Shaolin Temple. Kung Fu Hustle actually paid homage to many classic wuxia novels and wuxia movies in the past, including references to Bruce Lee. The move used by the protagonist in the end fight is the 6th move (of nine moves total) of The Buddhist's Palm, named "The Buddha Descends From Heaven"

6:58 Fun Fact: This muscle guy is actually a real Shaolin monk, and the way he fights is what he learned from the Shaolin temple. Plus it’s the first time he’s acting in the movie, so he don’t know how to control the power and he beats up some of the top hats to the hospital during the scene. Even those top hats actors had learned martial arts before, so they have already know how to take the punches from the muscle guy and reduced the damage.

the Landladies actress is not only an expert chinese martial artist but also a trained opera singer. she was also trained by the same kung fu master as jackie Chan and Sammo hung

The battle with the blind musicians is so iconic. This whole movie is just a core memory for me.

As a Chinese, I am really happy to see so many people like this movie. I searched the reaction of the movie on RU-vid, I didn't expect the number of views to be so high, Stephen Chow, the director of this film, is very famous in China, everyone knows, this is just one of his many famous movies, I grew up watching his movies, looking forward to more reaction of Stephen Chow directing films❤

It makes me so sad that so many people have never even heard of this masterpiece. It made me so happy to watch two people be amazed by this timeless work of art. Thank you.

The humor in this movie never gets old no matter how many time I rewatch it.

If humanity ever had the chance to showcase their movie making skills to an audience of aliens, I want them to present this movie! xD

This movie is the closest we get to a live action anime. What a masterpiece! Also the love story was so sweet and well done!

I'll never forget that a few years after this movie came out I was in a college English class and we were tasked with writing a comparison paper on The Matrix and KFH. Naturally we watched both movies on different days during the class before starting. When I tell you that I was the ONLY one in my class of 15 people laughing at this movie I'm not exaggerating. I knew by the end of the movie I couldn't be friends with anyone there because movies like this always make me laugh. The stupid parts of the movie are the best parts and I will never not laugh while watching stuff like this lol

I remember seeing this in the theater as a totally random watch, and I was like, "What the hell is this?" for the first 20 mins. And then ever following 20 minutes, but in a different way. This movie goes from "real" to "cartoon" to "kung fu" to batshit crazy...and I loved ever minute of it.

Thank y'all for watching this. Kung Fu Hustle is an extremely emotional movie for me and I'm glad y'all felt the love too. Watching y'all conect with this movie really made me feel nice, dude.

Seeing you guys enjoy this without knowing anything beforehand is heartwarming. I remember watching this when it came out. i tried introducing it to some Army buddies, but they didn't really get it. This and Shaolin Soccer were movies I loved. So awesome seeing you guy's appreciate it. Really awesome. Edit: If you look up the backstory to this, or the making of this, you'll find that a LOT of really amazing martial arts movie stunt men and women were in this movie. This movie is really a 1 in a million film.

I will never forget the first time I saw this movie. 2005 on cable. I was expecting my youngest son flipping through channels and got lucky. Been a movie I can't stop watching since. Like comfort food, your favorite pillow or the hug from a good friend.

Stephen Chow is a legend, one of the greats to adorn the world of cinema.

The lollipop scene kills me every time, no matter how many times I watch this movie.

Saw this film for the first time on a long distance flight almost 20 years ago as a child and it completely blew my mind. One of the best films of all time honestly, just a complete gem

Watched this movie countless times and it just gets better. The landlords are actually a well known acting duo.

Welcome to one of the greatest and most rewatchable movies ever! Glad you enjoyed it and caught so much, and went in blind. Every minute of this movie is perfect, every line, every scene. The amount of physical comedy helps it translate internationally to any audience, the cartoon physics slowly escalate to lure you into the 'rules' of this little world. Appreciate how Stephen Chow wrote, directed AND starred in this /original/ film and assembled some of the greatest martial arts movie making talent of all time, including the sound mixers, composers, alongside the choreographers and stuntment. Look up the actors for Beast, Landlord and Landlady and you'll see what they meant by "the true masters together in one room." Chow's previous film was Shaolin Soccer, very similar and you'll enjoy. He later did 2 "Journey to the West" movies, which is a batshit crazy bonkers take on the same chinese myth Dragonball was based on.

I was crying with laughter during the knife throwing scene in this movie

The only movie I can watch on repeat and never gets bored forever Stephen Chow my idol and he is a legendary actor and director ❤ This movie is a masterpiece because it all got the genre in one comedy, action, mystery, sci-fi, romance, drama, thriller, crime and ever horror 😂

The 'No More Soccer' line is a reference to one of his previous films Shaolin Soccer, well worth a reaction video. Stephen Chow is brilliant in this.

The scene where he destroys the soccerball and says "no more soccer!" is a reference to his other movie, Shaolin Soccer. The musician assassins fight is definitely one of the many inspirations for the Dr. Strange 2 musical notes fight. Chow took Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy genre and elevated it into the stratospheric absurd realm of cartoonish yet somehow grounded heroes and villains. There's always something new to catch everytime I watch this. Def one of my top fav movies of all time. Cheers me up everytime I'm even just reminded of it and I'm glad you guys enjoyed it as well.

I don't think there is a single movie that I have watched more times than this one. It hooked from the very first viewing, and never seems to grow old. Just a thoroughly good time!

Neat thing I noticed about the Musicians is that when the blind man attacks it's mostly silent yet kills anything he hits with an invisible blade, but when his partner joins he is mostly striking the instrument and their attacks are more visible, possibly intensifying their forms, so when they turn the thing upright the partner strikes it and sends out a shockwave and an army of ghosts

This is one of those movies that does ridiculous correctly. It’s a basic story but it’s the characters that drive this movie. We instantly like these people and don’t want to see bad things happen to them. One of my favorites. That end is so good too, it just hits you right in the feels.❤😊

Hats off to Stephen Chow! He used to be (still is) THE No.1 comedy movie star in China, like Jim Carrey in the US. Everyone (I mean EVERYONE) who speaks Chinese knows him. He gradually transformed from a comedy star into a director and also did an amazing job. This guy is so famous and popular that Chinese people even created a meme for him: We all owe Lord Xing (his nickname - 星爷) a movie ticket.

Fun fact: the tailor in real life is the grandmaster of the martial art that he used in the movie, Hung Gar, his name is Chi Ling Chiu. Also, hung gar is the martial art that is the basis of movement that earthbenders use in the ATLA universe.

What the landlord did is a yinyang symbol. In taichi it means hard and soft, heavy and light (something like that) that is why he floats and like a rubber.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Thanks for reviewing it. Hats off to Steven Chow for his amazing direction & acting in the lead role.

The most curious thing is that this film is a really funny, parodistic and comedy movie, but at the same time it can perfectly show the various steps of the elevation of the spirit in the buddhism culture, together with the various steps of the mastery of kung fu and martial arts. Even the simple fact of him jumping on the eagle has a true spiritual meaning in real life. At the end of the day, it can be considered a pretty good movie for those themes, at least for their representation. Also some of those actors are true and expert martial artists °w° Here some more info: So, in this movie there are 6 levels of Kung fu. Each level representing a state of mind and the body. The first level being the physical level. This level consists of the “twelve leg shao lin kick” “Hong jia fist” and “wu Lang ba gua staff” these are what is called “Ming jin” or “visible strength”. This is the usage of the physical strength of the body, it is also the first level of Kung fu. The second level is represented by the two blind man. This is when Kung fu is no longer only represented through the body, but also as a state of “energy” or “an jin”; this in English could be described as a strike that cannot be seen. This state of Kung fu is extremely powerful as it can kill without subject even realizing it has been killed. However, this is soon to be over shadowed by the third level of Kung fu: “Hua jin” or “mix of the strike” this is when one has mastered the first two levels of Kung fu and is able to combine the two. They are able to dissolve the attacks of the first two levels of Kung fu with ease. This is represented by the “land lord couples.” Through “Tai chi” and “shi hou gong” or “lion roar”. Though this level of Kung fu is already extremely powerful, the fourth level of Kung fu is even greater. This state of Kung fu is when the user have managed to use the mixture of energy, mastered before from the first, second, and third state and create something even further beyond. There is no name for this state in China, since people like this are generally considered to be one of the greatest masters of it’s time. This state of Kung fu is represented by “huo yun xie shen” or the “world’s top killer”. However, there is still room for even beyond this state. State 5, this is when you break the limit of your body and reach even beyond the roof of Kung fu. This is represented when the main character stepped on the eagle (the eagle of which represents the pinnacle of Kung fu). Stage five is represented through “Ru lai shen zhang” or “the Buddha palm” (the Kung fu the main character learned as a child.) But what is even further beyond this level is level 6. He didn’t show this in this movie, but in the movie after the main character has spared “Huo Yun Xie Shen”, he asks the main character what Kung fu he was using. And after hearing this, the main character calmly responds with: “you want to learn this? I can teach you.” This is when he has reached the last stage of Kung fu. Where Kung fu is longer used to just fight, but only to communicate and grow. This is known as “fan pu gui zhen” and in many Chinese sayings “jiu jiu gui yi” (after nine you have one and zero) meaning after you reach the pinnacle you return to where you have started. This is regarded as the true pinnacle state of Kung fu, and only the greatest of masters may dream of mastering it. Since it would mean to leave all of what you had behind and return to where you have started. Truly something not anyone can do.

Stephen Chow.. He is a living legend.. He is the king of comedy in all of Asia.. His movies never fail.. I watched his movies since I was in elementary school

I brought this on a whim on dvd, and loved it! It oozes charm and style, something of s rsrity these days. I told my brother about it, and he basically said "WTF". We watched it and a decade later, he still mentions this movie. Timeless and quality, just like Stephen Chow!

You do not want to know how many times I have seen this movie....and every time I am impressed and still laugh. This is a gem.

This was my dad’s favourite movie and we’d play it for all our guests everytime someone new came over. In my childhood i must have watched it like 15 times. Glad it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves

You guys REALLY need to do more Stephen Chow films. Each and everyone is excellent.

one of the best movies ever made, an old favorite of mine forever

Kung Fu Hustle is one of the most enjoyable films I've ever seen. It is so unique and incredibly well done. Thanks for your reactions!

I remember I was really sick when this movie was out. It was a painful experience and nothing in my life was worth smiling for. And then, I watched this movie and it was so funny and beautiful at the same time. To call it a masterpiece would be rightly deserved

That little fist and nose rub the Landlady does in the car is an homage to Bruce Lee intimidating the gangster in Return of the Dragon.

Hands down my favorite movie. If not #1, then definitely in my TOP 5. Best movie of all time.

I remember seeing this around the time it first came out. It is such a good movie, easily better than most action movies that have come out in the last 10 years.

One thing I love about this movie is how once you know the characters, you can understand that nothing that ever happens in this movie is truly random

In India: this movie was one of the favourite movie for every teenage kid like me, story was very emotional specially the lovely bgm and song of ending.(Even i don't know the language, still beautiful). Also Her acting skills was on another level she didn't spoke a single word but her presence on screen 🌟🙌 it was a beautiful action, love story.

This movie took me back to my childhood, everyone back then loved kung fu movies and this one has been done beautifully with comedy and a modern twist👏👏👏

This still remains as one of my all time favourites. I seriously went and saw this twice when it came out. Great story, characters, action, comedy, emotions. It's what movies should be. They shouldn't just entertain, they should make you feel. I still hope one day this gets a sequel

Say what you will, this movie is one of the all time greats. A classic that we can watch over and over and never get bored. The compelling story, comedy, the music, the innovative and the unique fighting styles elegantly put together for a wide audience. It’s a gem!

This movie has such a great combination of Martial arts and Comedy, especially the physical comedy is so on point! the landlady always cracks me up and how they make you believe that the Buddha palm strike is a scam until they reveal that it´s the legit super move

"I've accepted what type of movie this is" 😂 I love seeing people's reactions to this movie

I laughed I screamed I cried Thank you, Stephen Chow, for all the masterpiece.. chinese odyssey, the master of cookery, from beijing with love, 60 million dollar man, Shaolin soccer and so much more

There are very few movies I would consider to be masterpieces. Kung Fu Hustle is one of them. The cinematography, musicality, sound effects, special effects, everything just works perfectly.

Once you guys delve into the Making Of of this movie you will appreciate it a million times more. Half the cast are martial arts legends (not well known in the west) The landlady actress actually put on weight for this role. Stephen Chow has a “crew” he does movies with and all of them are amazing in every film. His fat buddy, the second in command to the axe gang, the axe gang boss, the clerk who beats them up in the tram, are all part of his crew. On that note the Axe Gang boss guy is also in shaolin soccer but you will not recognize him lol Of the two musician killers the guy who fought the tailor is a very well known action star, he used to do shit with Jackie Chan back in the day. The actor who played The Beast is a very old martial arts actor who fell out of favor with the chinese govt many years ago and his career got ruined, this was his return to acting. He’s been in some films since this one The tailor, baker and the guy with the kicks are all famous guys, the younger guy started as a stuntman and plays side characters in many films The landlord and landlady are also pretty big names This film is a love letter to many many things of the past, as well as people. It’s like the Expendables but obviously better I also love Stephen Chow’s “dirty” / sloppy aesthetic he gives most characters. It really does sell the characters as real people. Literally all the characters in Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer are ppl you would see on the street and never notice.

I dont know how many time i have watch this movie, and how many times i watched you guys reacting to the same movie, I hope you upload multiple times a week, really love your reaction while watching!! More subs!!

As an Indian , it's an memory of all 2000s kids ❤

This movie is truly a masterpiece and also incredibly versatile. I’m so glad you guys reacted to it and clearly enjoyed it! 😄

I remember getting this on DvD as a teenager on Xmas day. Couldn't stop telling people about this movie at school. It was everything I found funny about comedy.

This is the only channel I've ever watched in my 32 years on god's green earth where it feels like I'm watching a video with my homies. Y'all are cool as fuck my guys.

I love this movie so much!!! My best friend made me watch it with him because he kept telling me I would love it but I was being an ass and kept saying nah it looks like it sucks. So after he made me watch it with him I thanked him for making me watch it because it was just so damn good. He passed away in 2006 on my birthday and every time I watch Kung Fu Hustle it reminds me of him. All the touchy-feely parts really hit me hard because of it. Thank you, guys for watching it. I'm so glad you enjoy it as much as I do. Keep up the good work guys.

The best part about this movie is how freaking deep it is. Like, you guys watched and loved it for all the surface stuff, I did too, but after watching a few reactions and reading comments its insane how much symbolism and easter eggs and deeper meaning there was in everything going on here that made it 100x better. Its really rare to see a film that can do that. Be amazing on the surface and even better with the insider knowledge required to "get" all the references.

I love you guys reaction. I've watched this movie many times before, but somehow you managed to make me feel like I'm watching itfor the first time. The mute girl reveals scene; it's like I can feel the excitement again.

Man i actually shed some tears watching this reaction lol looking back this movie was a major reason i got into martial arts 😂 15 years back looking back to those initial years man its been quite a journey thanks for reminding me of this movie a certified hood classic fr.

Just randomly bumped into your channel and watched it full 32 minutes. This movie had comedy, drama, action, the whole package. Man it is from one of my fond memories as a child.

Next Kung Fu Comedy needs to be Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. One of the best parody KFC’s of all time

First time watching you guys .. love it .. can't believe anyone would know this movie still .. 😭😭 one of my top faves

kung fu hustle is comical but not boring, get a good laugh every time i watch the movie

I remember watching this movie not long after it came out. I swear I got stomachaches from laughing so damn hard 🤣 Recently I bought it on Blu-ray because this needs to be immortalized in my collection

the soccer ball pop was an homage to their previous film Shaolin Soccer. many of the actors in this film were in that one too! oh! also, you mentioned shang chi. the landlord was the archery teacher in shang chi!

This is one of the most unexpectedly amazing movies I ever saw. Glad you boys covered it.

It's a comedy but also very emotional. Love it ❤

A great mix of humor, satire, VFX and emotions. Not only is the movie an absolute gem, but did anyone notice the awesome background score. I purchased the whole music album as soon as I watched the movie.

One of my all-time favorite movies. It combines part of the brutal reality of China in the older days with over-the-top kungfu flick BS and makes it all work somehow by adding actually good combat, humor, emotions and wholesomeness. I actually watched it in China the first time, so I could personally relate to some of the stuff like sandy roads, the way people live in communities, the heat roasting everything in the streets...

I watched it in the cinema when it came out. I went there with a friend I was doing Kung Fu with and the cinema was practically empty. We both literally rolled on the floor between the seats laughing our asses off. One of the best movie memories ever.

Kung fu hustle is such a underrated movie.everyone I get to watch it is always blown away by it.😂😂 The knife throwing scene gets me every time 😂

Fun fact - The person that played the land lady was chosen for the roll because she went to the audition with her friend to support her auditioning for the role. Apparently the director took notice of her and thought she was perfect for it, had her audition too and she landed the role. Also, she had a very hard time with the scene in the back of the car with her warning the axe gang boss, especially the hand gestures lol, not that anyone would know from the final cut. Source = Stephen Chow, directors commentary

So happy to see people still discovering this gem! Being raised in an asian household meant I watched a lot of martial arts movies growing up, but this one always stuck with me more than others. It's such an unexpected combination of styles and tones that would've absolutely clashed in any other movie, but with Stephen Chow's direction it all comes together in a unique and cohesive vision with real heart and emotion. He's got some other great movies too, including Shaolin Soccer, but also CJ7 which takes a more conventional alien fish-out-of-water kid's movie story and tells it in a really moving and heartfelt way.

Man that ending is great. I've seen this movie before and I'm watching you guys watch it and I still teared up. Just me, clapping by myself in my room at this masterpiece.

It`s that type of movie that just keeps blowing your mind till the end!! Definitely Top 10 movie for me!! So happy to see someones first reaction to this!! 😄

I'm so glad you guys watched this. Kung Fu Hustle always has a special place in my heart.

One thing I love about this film is the power levelling, whenever someone strong appears, someobe stronger appears soon after, it's really intense.

I been binging this channel the last couple of days I can’t believe how many great movies you guys had never seen……man im old

Love the NO MORE SOCCER quote, as a nod toward Shaolin Soccer, the first of the three. CJ7 was the third movie in this hidden trilogy, where Kung Fu Hustle was the 2nd of them.

Stephen Chow's movies may look absurd but they actually have deep meanings.

Man, this is one of those movies I'd never get tired of watching. The storytelling is perfect, hero journey, character developments, dialogue, sadness, humor and seriousness all these aspects crafted perfectly in an hour long movie, CGi/special effects isn't that high quality compared to the present day but they utilised it perfectly and creatively. Camera work and shots are just beautiful. 🔥

This is one of my favorite movies of all times. And its old now. So glad you all got to experience it.

Still my favourite movie of all time. The line, "Who's throwing handles" gets me every time

that blind musician scene is still iconic and still holds up to this. it's one of the best action scenes in a movie.

This is still one of my favorite movies! I had my kids watch it when they got old enough, and I knew I was doing something right when they enjoyed it as much as I did. It's funny and well-acted, easily follows the different events in the storyline and makes you feel a variety of emotions for so many characters, full of action with amazing choreography, and can even jerk some tears from your eyes! What gets better than that? Chow is a genius!

An interesting fact about the actress who played the landlady, is that she was in a James Bond movie. You probably know it. The scene where Roger Moore as Bond is about to fight a karate school outside a dojo, and two schoolgirls show up and defend him by kicking all the karate students' collective butts.... She was there...School girl on the right.

This is one of my favorite films period. Anyone not watching this is sleeping on a hidden gem. In Asian cinema, this is in my top 3.

Stephen Chow can somehow do legendary romance movies...amidst his over the top and insane humor and drama.

When I first watched that many years ago I thought this movie was extremely entertaining, but now when I watch it, the last scene where they turned back into the young boy and girl representing the returning to the pure hearts, it made me cry.

The scene where he said "No more soccer" was apparently a reference to Shaolin Soccer

I never thought I would enjoy watching again this movie with these guys giving all the reactions and comments 👍

I'm glad yall appreciate the emotional part of the film. A lot of his films are pretty emotional, but that aspect goes under-appreciated. The combination of music and story during the flashback scene always make me want to tear up. It tells you about the unfortunate life of these characters, and the MC's inner character arc so succinctly. There's a lot of class undertones throughout the movie too, and growing up in poorer part of Asia, I really relate.

This movie works on so many levels. As you point out, it takes the cinematography, love arc, character arcs, fights, and everything seriously above the comedy. It also follows a lot of wuxia tropes to perfection, as well as slowly ramping up the Kung fu tropes from more serious (movie) styles to the more outlandish over time, all while treating them seriously. Chow also throws in a lot of Western movie references along with Kung fu and wuxia references. It's a masterpiece.

You guys give the best reaction ever to this movie!!! Nice vid, I enjoy watching it very much..

Imagine watching this when it came out in theatres. Luckyyyy. 😎
