Kung Fu Hustle

Ok, yeah, I know I'm late to be giving the two-thumbs-up to this movie, seeing as it's been out on DVD for ages and so on, but DAY-AM! I laughed so hard, I nearly fell off Superfly's bed. A laff riot! Get yourself off to Blockbuster and rent it, if you haven't already. Really, the chop-socky stuff is mindbending, thanks to special effects that make the Matrix look like a waste of good wires. Violence is more toward the comic side, i.e. people throwing knives or axes and having them bounce off something and clock themselves in the head. For once, there is a female fighter who isn't shy, pretty, and well-behaved. This foul-mouted lady kicks some serious ass with curlers in her hair, wearing a nightgown, with an ever-present cigarette dangling from her lips. Now there's a heroine I can root for!

Enough already. Just see the movie?
