dnoblett Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) Yep, I picked up a copy of Kung Fu Hustle a couple of months ago and got around to watching it the other night with Yu, FUNNY! And yep that apartment building looks much like that in the movie! http://www.solarnavigator.net/films_movies_actors/film_images/kung_fu_hustle_street_fight.jpg http://www.chinasmack.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shanghai-old-building-01.jpg Edited December 1, 2008 by dnoblett (see edit history) Link to comment

georgeandli Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Don't remember the name, but the story line was about teaching some guy to play. All laughs. Kind of like The Sting, but funny. Link to comment

Maggie Cheung... http://basel.watchprosite.com/img/watchprosite/ml/91/scaled/ml_image.630191.jpg Yes she is a looker, I remember her in one of Jakie Chan's early Police Story movies, she plays a character named "May" in his 1985 Police Story and again in Police Story 2 in 1988 She was interviewed in the making of "Hero" on the Hero DVD, her British Accented English is something else.

Li & John Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 "Kung Fu Hustle" Funny movie, I seen it in China and here in America. Link to comment
tsap seui Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I liked Kung Fu Hustle also. My favorite is Hero. I liked it that on the Hero DVD Tarantino did the introductions to the movie and it's making. In the TV version of Hero that I saw, with Chinese subtitles, the Emporer's voice was dubbed in by the maitre de from the Seinfeld episode where he and George, and Elaine couldn't get a seat....but, everyone else could. Then when they left, he called out "Seinfeld, table for 3." tsap seui Link to comment
