Kung-fusion (Kung Fu Hustle)
In sharp contrast to the last film I saw, no one could accuse this fun kung fu spoof of being stale and unimaginative. It has some great images poking fun at the genre
, and others while he is at it, but also telling a good story. Silly, funny, like an animated cartoon but with real people,
Stephen Chow makes a likeable and surprisingly insightful film on what Kung Fu is all about. A deserved winner of many awards, this may not be the best film ever but it is a refreshing breath of new air with a director who is not a million miles away from an early Peter Jackson.
Blessed by more sophisticated technology than Jackson, he is carving out a very interesting niche is humour and fantasy.
