Kung Fu Hustle	comment	1940s Shanghai is in the grip of various gangs struggling for power, with the Axe Gang being foremost. Main character Sing is an ineffectual small-time crook trying to join the Axe Gang. In doing so, he and buddy Bone attempt to command respect from the Pig Sty Alley. Their bumbling attracts the real gang, who are repelled by the unexpectedly skilled fighters: Coolie, Tailor and You-Tiao (fried dough sticks) baker. What results is an Escalating War between the Axe Gang and the (surprisingly strong) residents of the impoverished Pig Sty Alley.Directed, led and written by famous Hong Kong comedian Stephen Chow, Kung Fu Hustle is a comedic parody of and homage to Chinese Wuxia films and American musicals from the '50s, best summarised, in the words of Roger Ebert, as "like Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton meet Quentin Tarantino and Bugs Bunny". But really, it has to be seen to be believed.Compare Shaolin Soccer and God of Cookery, from the same creator.A sequel was set to release in 2012, but it didn't happen; Stephen Chow has stated that he's been putting it on hold for other projects.

He first threatened them with the line "whoever is seeking death, step forward" only to find all of them approaching him. Backing down, Sing asked for a one-on-one fight instead and started picking his opponents, but one after another attempted challenge he was cowed into turning each down as they appear tougher than they initially looked.

The Beast attempted to use a pile of basic Axe Gang members to soften up the hero before properly fighting him, unfortunately for him the algorithm was still in place and they got splattered without slowing him down.

Prior to this, he and Bone steal some ice cream from the same vendor, with Sing laughing hysterically at her futile pursuit of the pair.

This is a sign that he is not destined to be a bad guy, his Heelâ€“Face Turn happening almost by impulse when he ends up hitting Brother Sum and the Beast in the head with a table-leg, the following beating by the Beast unblocking his chi pathways and metamorphosing him into the Action Hero he was destined to be.

This doesn't explain how everyone there is able to defend themselves against the Axe Gang (to varying degrees of success) to the extent that they do, even if Sing is Giftedly Bad at being intimidating.

Kung Fu Hustle / int_73ef9ef3	comment	Almighty Janitor: Basically The Movie of this trope, as all of the martial artists in the story have lowly occupations and/or appear quite wimpy until they display their powers. The five undercover masters are a tailor, a baker, a coolie (unskilled laborer) and the landlady and landlord. The farmer lady that is challenged by Sing can punch him hard enough to make him cough up blood, and even the barber boy stares down gangsters, real and otherwise. Then there's the blind musicians who are actually Musical Assassins and the Beast seems to be some sort of insane asylum patient. Sing becomes one at the end, as a he is a former two-bit crook who now runs a candy store, but is nevertheless the most powerful martial artist in the movie.

The French dub preferred the less subtle Romeo and Juliet. "Donut" also counts since Dong Zhihua's character makes fried dough sticks, very similar in concept to the donut, hence his more appropriate sub name.

He then asks to get thrashed over the head before one of the Axe Gang members pulls a gun on him; the Beast quickly disarms him, quips if they make them for men, and then promptly fires it at the side of his head...and does a Bullet Catch with two fingers, finally cementing his power.

It begins with the (apparently) moral conflict within him as Sum orders him to attack the helpless Landlord and Landlady... only for Sing to turn around and attack Sum. Not out of right or wrong, but stress. Then Sing mans up enough to attack the Beast: only to have his own head beaten into the ground. Cue the futile but significant show of defiance as Sing... weakly picks up a bit of rubble to bonk the Beast, to no effect at all.. Earlier, there was a scene where the Landlady and Landlord were dancing happily in their apartment after previously shown dancing to the The Masochism Tango. Only for the Landlady to see lipstick on the Landlord. Cue another beating. Also when Sing was dying, he draws a lollipop, showing he was thinking of the Cute Mute ice cream lady. Then the Landlord freaks out, telling him to write in Chinese because he didn't understand what he was trying to say.

The strong, silent Coolie who carries heavy loads for people uses his super-strong legs for kicking. The doughnut-maker who uses long poles to knead the dough is a master with spears and bow-staffs. The tailor uses heavy rings to both hang up his wares and wears them on his arms in combat. The Landlord who's constantly being beaten up by his wife can secretly deflect and withstand heavy blows. The Landlady who's always yelling and roaring at everyone has an outright sonic scream.

Kung Fu Hustle / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out Donut's dying words include "What are you prepared to do?". Before that, he says, With great power... comes great responsibility. "This could be the end... of a beautiful friendship..." He's just FULL of these. The Landlord getting hurled out of a window and smashing through awnings on the way down shouts out to a similar (and nearly fatal) movie by Jackie Chan in Project A. Of special note is the Landlord's actor, Yuen Wah, who was Jackie's fellow disciple. The chase between Sing and The Landlady is an obvious tribute to Tom and Jerry, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, and every other "chase" cartoon out there. Sing juggles a soccer ball and then stomps it flat, shouting, "No more soccer!" This is a reference to Chow's previous film Shaolin Soccer and his refusal to make a sequel. Upon arriving at the Beast's cell, Sing imagines the door opening and blood pouring out of the room. The various fighting techniques demonstrated in the movie contain many shout-outs that had been twisted and parodied in some way for comedic effects. For example, the Ha Ma Gong (literally, Toad Technique, used by The Beast) is a technique used by an infamous poison-master from one of Jin Yong's famous novels. It's supposed to create harmful chi in the target's body, eventually killing them with no external injuries (the toad is considered one of the "Five Poisons" in Chinese culture, along with snake, lizard, centipede and scorpion). In the movie, however, this is taken a bit more literally. ALL the names on the manuals the beggar held at the end of the movie are shout-outs to many of Jin Yong's novels. Audiences unfamiliar with the Wuxia genre will not be able to fully appreciate the parodic values of it. The Axe Gang's introduction is styled suspiciously similarly to The Blues Brothers (complete with a knockoff of the famous Peter Gunn theme music). The assassins also resembled the Blues Brothers. When the Landlady appeared in the seat of Sum's car, she wordlessly threatened him with her fists, cracking her knuckles and brushing her nose in a way reminiscent to what Bruce Lee did in Return of the Dragon. The Landlady and Landlord introduce themselves to The Beast as being Xiao Long Nu and Yang Guo, the protagonists of Jin Yong's The Return of the Condor Heroes. The scene where Sing - attacked from all sides swoops down and crushes the toes of his enemies - is a homage to one of the more comedic Wong Feihong movies Last Hero In China, where Wong Feihong himself uses the counter-strike whilst dressed as a chicken. The Buddha's Palm technique (and the 'Daring General' tune of the soundtrack) are lifted directly from the 1982 film Buddha's Palm. The blind musical assassins are a shout-out to a real assassination attempt that was made upon Qin Shi Huangdi, when his blind musician tried to smash his head in with a weighted lute. note It didn't work. The score that the assassins perform is an abridged remix called "The Conquerer Unarms".

Unless prepared to deliver immediate first aid, or if the object itself is an ongoing threat due to dirtiness or instability, it's better to leave something like a knife impaled in the wound to limit bleeding.

Kung Fu Hustle / int_e2ccee25	comment	Animal Motifs: Sing associated with butterflies. Throughout the film, Sing is shown to be a lost, incredibly inept young man with signs of potential, much like the caterpillar. When he emerges from his full-body cast, it is juxtaposed with a newly formed monarch butterfly emerging from a cocoon, symbolizing his Heelâ€“Face Turn from an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain into an Action Hero. The Beast is associated with Toads. Just outside the Beast's cell-door, there are various toads in the hallway, and in his rematch with Sing, he uses a Toad-style fighting technique. Like toads, the Beast is an unassuming, seemingly unimpressive man, surprising everyone when it shows that he is most definitely a predator with venom under his sleeves (in his case, a pair of poison-darts he keeps in his pockets). Traditionally, frogs and toads in China are seen as beasts who represent a lack of understanding and vision, which makes it all the more ironic that he is defeated by Sing after he has a vision of the Buddha in the clouds, the Buddha a figure that combats such things.

Kung Fu Hustle / int_e50987a9	comment	Reconstruction: For all the Affectionate Parody goodness the film is full of, the final act of Kung Fu Hustle plays the Wuxia tropes completely straight and makes what people loved about Wuxia awesome again. Sing, having realized he wants to be a good guy all long, rebels against the Beast (the film's closest thing to The Dark Side of Wuxia) in a hopeless battle and gets beaten to near death. This act ends up unlocking his chi pathways and turns him into a Kung Fu master, juxtaposed with an imagery of butterfly coming out from a cocoon. From there, Sing plays every trope of The Chosen One: Lightning Bruiser, Good Wears White, and a One-Man Army who delivers Curb-Stomp Battle. The climactic battle is where Wuxia is best demonstrated, as Sing's final blow is a Simple, yet Awesome technique taught in boring manuals — a common trope reserved for the ultimate upgrade in Wuxia.
