Kung Fu Hustle

 A great mix of cartoony with wonderful action, a great morale, subtle references to Lee's films such as FIST OF FURY and WAY OF THE DRAGON. For anyone who is a martial arts enthusiast, this is the film for you.

Review

I have the same thoughts on Spider-Man 2 as on Spider-Man 1, even though Spider-Man 1 is slightly better, and this one is a bit sadder. The fight scene quality went down a bit in this one, but the film is still good.

So swing your way back home and watch another film.

Inspector Chan Kwok-Wing (Jackie Chan) was once the shining star of the Hong Kong police force. But that all changed when his unit was slaughtered by a merciless gang of bank robbers -- and Chan turned to the bottle to drown his grief. Now, a year later, a soused Chan is dragged out of his rut by a new partner, Frank Cheng (Nicholas Tse). Together, they hit the streets to redeem Chan's reputation by going after those responsible for the deaths of his fellow officers. 

 

Review

New Police Story is definitely worth watching. Sure, some of the acting is pretty bad which is rare in a Chan movie.. wait.. Police Story 1. Nevermind. Anyways, the film has little to no funny parts, which is rare in a Chan movie, but it still rocks. The film's fight scenes are amazing and the characters were amazingly casted.

 

The only thing that ticks me off is that they try to make audiences sympathetise for Joe Kwan [the villian] because of how bad his father is.. but no. He's just a jerk. Family or not.

Anyways, New Police Story is very worth your time, and if you DO have time, you should definetly watch it. Darker films don't stop Jackie Chan from making masterpieces. Maybe the comedy is stopping him from reaching his potentional.

Rating: 8.3/10
