Kung Fu Hustle (DVD, 2005, Widescreen)

I watched this on cable one night, then ordered the film, it has good drama, great fight scenes, and above all it is a comedy. There is the great mafia axe gang, who run everything. There is a dance scene, with axes. Attacking with axes. The local police are terrified and taking bribes. A young boy buys a book on the special art of the hand. He defends a little girl. Later as the movie progresses, you find the young man in dire need of acceptance in the culture, not realizing his special purpose in life, is the one that had been pre-destined for him as a protector of the innocent and down trodden.
There is a master of the toad. Who swells up like a toad. There is a woman with the lions roar. There is rubber man. There is spear fighting, sword of instruments used by the gand hired hitmen. As an overall film, it is a great comedy, some drama, and a little bit of a love story. I watch it continually when it is on tv, it is a great outlet, after a hectic week. I would recommend this film, for everyone to watch. It is in chinese, with english subtitles underneath. The subtitles do not get in the way of a good clean film.
