It'southward kinda sad how the Hong Kong film industry is changing itself to please ocidental audiences. Kung Fu movies were pieces of art, crafted by hand, with no computers or expensive special furnishings, and all the same filling each frame of the picture with pure art.
Jackie Chan had been criticised, and even clashed with some HK directors, because he didn't want any wire piece of work or special furnishings in his action scenes. At first, I didn't sympathize why he didn't want any wire piece of work - Jet Li used information technology in such films as "Tai Chi" and "Fong Sai Yuk" in a good way, improving the action scenes and making them more comical and enjoyable. But J.C. kept his movies simple, always with a expert, simple story and with jaw-dropping action sequences, with no computers or wire work. I mean, lookout man the concluding fight in "Drunken Master 2" and yous'll know what I mean.
Simply Jackie Chan knew what was going to happen: kung fu films would become a product. Now, with today's technology, anyone tin be a kung fu principal. Suddenly, the plot was forgotten, and the kung fu movies became a bunch of CGI-filled kung fu scenes with a impaired plot between those scenes. "Matrix" was the last nail on the coffin. All of a sudden, the HK film industry had to go along upward with the new tendency...
Stephen Grub tried to brand a good movie with Kung Fu Hustle, and you can feel he really wanted to. The scenes are beautiful to watch, the comedy is there (even though it'south made for oriental audiences), the scenery is amazing, just there's something missing. The plot is confusing, a existent mess, you never know what's motivating the characters...
The activity sequences are proficient, quite good, although the CGI is a picayune weird looking, nigh cheap. And, in order to continue up with this new trend on kung fu movies, Stephen Chow had to let the ancient kung fu fine art go, and stick with CGI fights... even though it is good to lookout man, and somewhat funny, it's non the aforementioned. It works when the flick is spoofing this technique, as Stephen Chow did in his concluding movie - Shaolin Soccer - merely it does not piece of work when the activeness sequences are supposed to be real kung fu fights...
Well... all in all... Kung Fu Hustle is not a bad picture. Not as skillful as Shaolin Soccer, not as good equally many other HK films, but worth a watch. Who knows, yous might enjoy it...

I recently watched both 'Kung Fu Hustle' and 'Ong Bak'. 'Hustle' *is* fun to watch but the furnishings practice accept abroad from the middle of the story (hear that, Lucas?). I will say that I sensed some good former 'studio vs creator' tension with 'Hustle'; I can but hear the studio proverb "More than Matrix... More effects" and Chow thinking "More Looney Tunes... more sillyness... more heart". Trouble is, whenever that occurs the terminal product e'er suffers.
'Ong Bak' on the other hand, though weak plot-wise (are are many classic only fun films), I constitute to be pure bliss to sentinel. Hither once more are those days ricar speaks of when the action of the martial arts star is existent and creative; action that doesn't rely on editors to create but instead comes from elaborate and difficult set-ups and from actors who display incredible athletic skills.
Then once more non every film a creator puts forward is going to be ameliorate than the last, nor should information technology in my opinion. We dear filmmakers who have a better than average track tape and we should give them credit for trying. It is certainly not an easy industry to work in, either in the USA or elsewhere.

Exactly, I felt it besides. Nonetheless, Hustle's script felt similar it had 1 as well many drafts. Stephen Chow should have kept it unproblematic, bad characters vs. good characters. I mean, look at Stephen Chow's character: yous never know what side he is, what are his reasons to deed like that, his whole "by" matter was too shallow - what was the affair between him and that girl? And the whole affair about him being a kung fu genius who SUDDENLY gets to exist the best kung fu fighter in the globe...
Stephen Grub was evidently trying to please the distributors, producers, to meridian "Shaolin Soccer", and to create a expert film, at the same time. I'm not so sure he accomplished it...
BTW, does every modern ocidental-styled kung fu film take a "one homo against 100 black-dressed men kung fu fight"? Matrix, Kill Nib vol 1, and now this...?
I didn't meet "Ong Bak", I might...
