Kung Fu Hustle 2

[SPJ]

yes. I always enjoy his humor and exeggeration out of this world.

some like the fighting scenes but for the most part it is a comedy.

a farm lady punched his stomach when he "hustled" as the axe gang member and tried to get some money from the "innocent" village people.

wei wei what do you do?

I am a farmer. Something wrong with you. meaning that nobody believed that he is a gangster. He failed big time.

"An Shi Gen Tian De. You Mao Bing"

I laughed so hard.

The fighting is really fantastic in that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Often kungfu movies now days try to turn hard to believe fantastical magic kungfu flying and other legendary skills into serious fight scenes and come off just looking cheesy. Suspension of disbelief is lost. These kind of fight scenes fit into Stephan Chow's comic book style comedies much better than a lot of the serious kungfu fantasy/ "historical" films, imo.

i thought the hung gar in kung fu hustle wasw the best ive seen since magnificient butcher
not sure about the authenticity of the tam tui used
but the pole stuff was also good
tbh i only really liked the fight scene against the axe gang at the start
the rest were good but too comic book
still a very funny movie tho

Yeah, I just didn't like KFh that much, and I'm just not that excited about seeing him do another one. I liked Love on Delivery and Fight back to School parts 1 and 2 much more.

The "Kung Fu" directed by Stephen Chow was released in 2004. The play will bring the kung fu and the funny elements to the fullest, paying tribute to the Hong Kong classic kung fu movies.

Kung Fu Hustle 2 Is Finally Coming: Why It Took 15 Years To Happen
The first movie became an instant cult classic but here's why fans had to wait over 15 years for Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle 2 to happen.
BY PADRAIG COTTER

The original became an instant cult favorite when it arrived in 2004, but here's why it took over 15 years for Kung Fu Hustle 2 to get moving. Stephen Chow is a legendary figure in Chinese cinema and started his career with roles in movies like John Woo's Just Heroes and taking over from Chow Yun-fat for God Of Gamblers II and III. He first moved into the directing seat for 1993's Flirting Scholar with Gong Li (Miami Vice), and regularly started to direct his own projects like 1996's The God Of Cookery.

Stephen Chow's breakthrough to international audiences came with 2001's Shaolin Soccer, which was a hyperactive, cartoonish sports movie. Chow shot it with overseas viewers in mind, and the movie's unique blend of action and comedy saw it become a solid hit. He followed up with Kung Fu Hustle, another action-comedy. In the film, he plays a lowlife criminal who gets mixed up with the Axe Gang, which leads to some incredible action scenes. Kung Fu Hustle received great reviews, grossing over $102 million internationally and remains one of Chow's most popular films.

Stephen Chow stated in 2005 he was working on Kung Fu Hustle 2, but its path to getting made would prove twisty. Chow's next film would be 2008's CJ7, a sci-fi comedy about a father and son who adopt a friendly alien. The E.T. aping comedy received a more lukewarm reception than Kung Fu Hustle and wasn't as successful. During this period, Chow was also hired to direct and star as Kato alongside Seth Rogen in Green Hornet. It seemed like a perfect pairing of star and project, but Chow would first drop out of the director seat following "creative differences" but remained on as Kato. before later exiting the production entirely.



Stephen Chow is known to be an exacting collaborator and perhaps not the easiest director to work with, with Green Hornet producer Evan Goldberg later admitting Chow wanted total control, which wasn't going to happen in Hollywood. Chow's next film as director was 2013's Journey To The West: The Demons Strike Back, and that year he stated Kung Fu Hustle 2 was still planned but had been put on hold while he'd focused on other projects in the intervening years. In 2016, he directed fantasy comedy The Mermaid - which became one of the highest-grossing Chinese films of all time - and 2019's The New King Of Comedy, a remake of his own 1999 movie.

Stephen Chow has been far more focused on directing than acting in recent years, to the point he hasn't appeared in a movie since CJ7. While promoting The New King Of Comedy he revealed Kung Fu Hustle 2 is finally happening, but it won't be a direct sequel. It will instead be set in modern-day and he will likely only cameo. While its disappointing Chow wouldn't be the lead - especially after his long absence from acting - in the sequel, it's just good to know its finally in development. With Chow's current focus on The Mermaid 2, it will likely be another couple of years before Kung Fu Hustle 2 punches into cinemas.

It was an offhand comment from Chow that has lead to all these rumors for KFH2 as you can see above. Nevertheless, the cinema sites are regurgitating it because it's decent click bait.
