Kung Fu Hustle
#5 in my 2007 movie challenge was Kung Fu Hustle, which my husband thought I would enjoy. He was right. This is a strange, fun, darkly funny kung fu movie that wasn’t off-puttingly violent. I’m sure I got only a fraction of the references. Things kept happening that I didn’t expect; I was amused and entertained. This was a good mental palate cleanser after Pan’s Labyrinth. The clueless, overweight buddy in the movie reminded me more than a little of the character of Randy, from My Name is Earl.
