Kung Fu Hustle
So many gangsters… so little time.
Directed by Stephen Chow
Produced by Huayi Brothers & Taihe Film Investment, Star Overseas
A joyful, anarchic action-comedy that blends wuxia spectacle with slapstick humor and genuine warmth, celebrating unlikely heroes and found family amid stylized martial arts mayhem.
It's the 1940s, and the notorious Axe Gang terrorizes Shanghai. Small-time criminals Sing and Bone hope to join, but they only manage to make lots of very dangerous enemies. Fortunately for them, kung fu masters and hidden strength can be found in unlikely places. Now they just have to take on the entire Axe Gang.
