Normally I don't watch foreign films to terribly often, but this particular one has become a favorite of mine. Kung Fu Hustle is hilarious yet a touching story about a man trying to figure out his life.
Starting at a police station somewhere in Asia, The Crocodile Gang is harassing the police into not making a lady that the leader likes have to pay a fine for spitting. After beating up the police, the gang leaves and are than confronted by the notorious and deadly Axe Gang. They are slaughter and the movie goes into a montage showing pictures of the Axe Gangs crazy killings and actions. It'll than lead into a very poor apt. complex that houses many different people and this dumb man who thinks he can be a part of the Axe Gang by imitating them. He is a good man at heart but tries to be bad because he thinks that is the only thing he can do cause "good guys never win".
This movie is serious at some parts yet many parts it is a comedy at heart. Lots of awesome kung fu action and ridiculous fight scenes with interesting characters and story lines. Another 2 thumbs up from Luis Jargens.
