You may know kung fu... but you're still a fairy.

Oh no, I own it.  Julia just threw it in the DVD player tonight and I hadn't seen it in quite a while.

The chase scene between the kid and the landlady midway through is one of my favorite movie moments ever.  No matter how many times I watch it, it never ceases to be completely hilarious.

That was a great movie :)

Has anyone seen CJ7 yet?

CJ7 is a kid's movie through and through.  It isn't as entertaining as Kung Fu Hustle.

I gathered that much from the trailer. I wasn't sure just how much of kid's movie it would be though.

This studio seems to pump out some interesting films.

I was thinking the exact same thing.  ;D  Kung Fu Hustle is definitely my favorite Hong Kong flick out there.  I also liked Shaolin Soccer, which is very similar.
