Ok, this is a matter of taste, I know...But take one part Jackie Chan, One part "Kill Bill", stir in "The Matrix" and season liberally with Loony Toons...

Buy, rent or steal "Kung-Fu Hustle"

Heh, saw that last night without it being dubbed or subbed. Even without understanding what anyone was saying I thought it was great.

Awesome movie.
A little more serious than my impression from other people, but yes, completely awesome.

I loved it. I saw it on the big screen. I wasnt hoopin' or hollerin' but it was really good.

See Ong-Bak! It comes out Tuesday 08-30.

Kung Fu Hustle is good. I liked it. But Ong-Bak is a different thing altogether. Ong-Bak has a more serious story, but still has a sense of humor.

The reason i like it more...no CGI and no flying on wires. The whole movie is 100 percent stunts and fighting. it may not have side-splitting humor, but the stunts are jaw dropping. See it.

yea, that was my complaint with kung fu hustle... i wanted more actual stunts, less made up ★■◆●

I'll have to check out Ong-Bak...thx for the tip. I'm a pretty big Jackie Chan fan, so I like humor...and jaw dropping, REAL stunts.

Kung-Fu Hustle is kind of in a class by itself. There was wire and CGI work, but IMO it fit right in to the film's general silliness.

I saw Kung Fu Hustle last week. That was one of the wackiest movies I've ever seen.

Ong Bak is simply awesome! to see the stunts performed in this movie without any wires/trickery....left me awestruck. A must see!

Each to his own, I suppose, Ong Bak bored me. Hustle was far more original and entertaining.

I thought it was pretty awesome myself. If you want to just laugh your ass off with more of the same actors and more Kung-Fu, check out Shaolin Soccer as well, same director.

OK I watched Ong-Bak tonight... It was a pretty good movie. But comparing it to Kung-Fu Hustle? Apples and oranges, my friends.

Ong-Bak: Formulaic Martial Arts movie with some pretty spectacular Le Parkour-style stuntwork and an interesting martial arts variant.

Kung-Fu Hustle: Deconstructs the formulaic Martial Arts movie and creates a strange bastard variant that is halfway between an homage and a parody.

Really, though there's no comparing the two movies... Thanks for the tip!

Fantastic movie. Went with Emma last night - and even SHE enjoyed it! Amazing. I love the "fat woman" with the cigarette. Brilliant.

Well i did say it was a different thing altogether...

I'm not comparing the movies. I'm comparing my appreciation.
