Kung Fu Hustle (Chinese: 功夫; pinyin: Gōngfu) is a 2004 martial arts film directed by Stephen Chow.

At this point, it seems as if the genre of kung fu movies has three pioneer actors. First and foremost, Bruce Lee defines the traditional martial arts film with serious fighting. Next, Jackie Chan creates more lighthearted action by adding a twist of comedy to the mix. Now enter Stephen Chow, who takes it a step further with special effects and cartoonish gags. He's done this with his earlier hit, Shaolin Soccer, and he does do again with Kung Fu Hustle, featuring a homage to 1940s gangster films. Just based on this film alone, I can honestly say that I like Stephen Chow's sense of humor.
