  The part where the dying hero says, "Then what are you preparing to do?" in English and they respond in Chinese with, "Why aren't you speaking Chinese?!" is probably my favorite part of the original.

  Kung Fu Hustle is such a wild movie. The part where the protagonist ran away from his landlady in Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner style is hands down the best part of the movie.

  God I love this movie...  Bill Murray once said (in a GQ article), "There should have been a day of mourning for American comedy the day that movie came out," because it was the "supreme achievement" of modern comedy."

  The couples saying the Asian stereotypical expectations of their child being a doctor got me.

  One part of the film that most unfamiliar with the genre don't understand; Chow getting hit by knives and bitten by snakes  isn't just physical humour. It is meant to be a acupuncture treatment that opens his meridian points and allows him to access his latent kung fu genius power in the roadrunner scene and later in the film.

  This is a really late addition to the Wins, but the Landlady and Landlord delivers a bell to the Axe Gang. &nbsp;In Cantonese, the word &quot;clock&quot; and &quot;bell&quot; are the homophones with &quot;end&quot;. &nbsp;And to send someone off is literally translated as &quot;giving end&quot;. &nbsp;So them using the bell as their Ultimate move is kinda a double entendre.<br><br>Stephen Chow crafted a love letter to Kung Fu cinema by making classic references to Wushu film with the nicknaming and phrases found in classic cinema.

  Two interesting facts about this movie behind the scenes: Chow originally wanted the two assassins to fight with a shark in the movie, and Bruce Leung was Stephen’s childhood martial arts hero.

  As a Cantonese speaker I can say that the subtitles are usually wrong most of the time,they downgrade a lot of the jokes in the movie cause you can’t really translate the lines properly,you can’t really tell these jokes in a different language cause if you do it wouldn’t make any sense and the result is that I have to translate the whole movie to friends when we watch it.

  Ok but the harp players fight was an absolute stroke of genius.

  This is one of the greatest movies ever made. The story telling, the character development, the subtle continuity details, the blend of satire and meaning....A timeless masterpiece.

  &quot;No more soccer&quot; means his previous movie &quot;Shaolin Soccer&quot; (2001) is history, now let&apos;s focus on his new movie which is &quot;Kung Fu Hustle&quot; (2004)
