Kung Fu Hustle (Chinese: 功夫; Pinyin: Gōngfu) is a 2004 Hong Kong martial arts film co-written, co-produced and directed by Stephen Chow, who also stars in the film. The film is a humorous parody and a homage to the wuxia genre, and contains most of the characteristics of a typical wuxia movie with exaggerations, serious situations and comic plots. Set in 1930s Shanghai, it is a tale of redemption for the central character, portrayed by Chow, a petty criminal who is trying to join the city's most-powerful gang.^[1] Image File history File links Zhongwen. ...

The use of visual effects have been widely acclaimed and the cartoon style of the movie accompanied by traditional Chinese music is its most striking feature.^[2][3] Although the film features the return of a number of retired 1970s actors of Hong Kong action cinema, it is in stark contrast to recent martial arts films that have made an impact in the West, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero.^[4] An animated cartoon is a short, hand-drawn (or made with computers or type writers to look similar to something hand-drawn) film for the cinema, television or computer screen, featuring some kind of story or plot (even if it is a very short one). ...

Production

An early sketch of the Pig Sty Alley.

Kung Fu Hustle is a co-production of the Beijing Film Studio and Hong Kong's Star Overseas.^[7] After the success of his 2001 film, Shaolin Soccer, Chow was approached in 2002 by Columbia Pictures Film Production Asia, offering to collaborate with him on a project. Chow accepted the offer, and the project eventually became Kung Fu Hustle.^[8] Major inspirations of the film came from the martial arts films Chow watched as a child and his childhood ambition to become a martial artist.^[9] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Chow's first priority was to design the main location of the film, the Pig Sty Alley. He grew up in an environment similar to the Alley and the plot included many aspects of his daily life.^[10] A 1973 Shaw Brothers Studio film, The House of 72 Tenants was another inspiration for the Pig Sty Alley.^[11] Designing of the Alley began in January 2003 and took four months to complete. Many of the props and furniture in the apartments were antiques from all over China.^[12] Shaw Brothers Studio The Shaw Studio (邵氏片場), owned by Shaw Brothers (HK) Ltd. ...

Choreography

CGI construction of the Buddhist Palm.

Kung Fu Hustle was produced with a budget of US$20 million.^[13] Filming took place in Shanghai from June 2003 to November 2003.^[14] Two-thirds of the time were spent shooting the fighting sequences.^[9] The fighting scenes of Kung Fu Hustle were initially choreographed by Sammo Hung. Production suffered a setback when Hung quit after two months due to illness, tough outdoor conditions, interest in another project and arguments with the production crew.^[15] Chow immediately contacted Yuen Woo-ping, an action choreographer with experience ranging from Hong Kong action cinema of the 1960s to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the early 21st century to replace Hung. Yuen swiftly accepted the offer. In doing so, certain scenes in production under Hung were cancelled.^[8] Yuen managed to take seemingly outdated wuxia fighting styles like the Deadly Melody and Buddhist Palm and recreate them on the screen with his own imagination.^[16] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Special effects were mainly created with a combination of computer-generated imagery and wire work.^[17] Legendary martial arts mentioned in wuxia novels were depicted and exaggerated through CGI, but actual people, rather than digital effects were used to film the final fight between Chow's character and the hundreds of axe-wielding gangsters.^[7] A Hong Kong computer graphics company, Centro Digital Pictures Limited was solely responsible for the CGI of Kung Fu Hustle. The company had experience in highly acclaimed films like Shaolin Soccer and Kill Bill. Their team had performed extensive tests on various scenes that could be depicted by CGI before filming started. A group of six people followed the production crew throughout the shooting. Treatment of the preliminary shots began straight afterwards. The CGI crew removed wire effects and applied special effects under high resolution. After a final calibration of colour, data of the processed scenes were sent to the United States for the production of the final version of the film.^[14] Computer-generated imagery (commonly abbreviated as CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics (or more specifically, 3D computer graphics) to special effects in films, television programs, commercials, simulators and simulation generally, and printed media. ...

Casting

Kung Fu Hustle pays tribute to many famous veterans of Hong Kong action cinema of the 1970s. Yuen Wah, a member of the Seven Little Fortunes plays the Landlord of the Pig Sty Alley. He has appeared in hundreds of Hong Kong films from the 1970s and was a stunt double of Bruce Lee. Yuen Wah considered the film to be the peak of his career. He remarked that despite the comedic nature of the film, the shooting process was a serious matter. With a tight schedule, there was no time for laughs. In spite of the film's success, Yuen Wah worried that nowadays fewer people practice martial arts.^[18] This is a Chinese name; the family name is Yuen Yuen Wah in A Kid from Tibet Yuen Wah (元華 p. ...

Bruce Leung's appearance in Kung Fu Hustle marks his return to the film industry after a 15-year hiatus.

The part of the Landlady was offered to Yuen Qiu, another student of Yu Jim Yuen, sifu of the Seven Little Fortunes. Yuen Qiu was a girl in The Man with the Golden Gun at the age of 18.^[19] Having retired from the film industry after her marriage in the 1980s, Kung Fu Hustle was her comeback. She admitted that she never expected to star in the film. When her colleague was on stage during a tryout for Kung Fu Hustle, she stood near her and smoked a cigarette with a sarcastic expression on her face. That pose earned her the part. To fulfill Stephen Chow's image of a "fat lady", Yuen Qiu deliberately gained weight before production by eating midnight snacks on a daily basis.^[19] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Leung Siu Lung, who plays the Beast, is Stephen Chow's childhood martial arts hero.^[10] Leung Siu Lung was a famous action film director and actor in the 1970s and 1980s, known as the "Third Dragon" after Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Having lost the Taiwanese film market in the late 1980s following a visit to China, he switched to doing business. Kung Fu Hustle was his return to the film industry after a 15-year hiatus. He regards Chow as a flexible director with high standards, and was particularly impressed by the first scene involving the Beast, which had to be reshot 28 times.^[20] Leung Siu-Lung (cantonese) or Liang Hsiao-Lung (mandarin), born in 1948 in Hong Kong, is an actor who has appeared in many Hong Kong martial arts movies. ...

The majority of the film's original score was composed by Raymond Wong and performed by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra.^[3] The score imitates traditional Chinese music in 1940s swordplay films.^[23] One of Wong's works, Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained provides a stark contrast between the villainous Axe Gang and the peaceful neighbourhood of the Pig Sty Alley, depicted by a Chinese folk song, Fisherman’s Song of the East China Sea.^[21] Along with Wong's compositions and various traditional Chinese songs, classical compositions are featured in the score, including excerpts from Zigeunerweisen by Pablo de Sarasate and Sabre Dance by Aram Khachaturian.^[24] A song is sung in the background by Huang Shengyi at the end of the film. The song, "Zhi Yao Wei Ni Huo Yi Tian" (只要為你活一天) was written by Liu Jie Cheng in the 1970s. It tells of a girl's memories of a loved one, and her desire to live for him again.^[25] Kung Fu Hustle was nominated for the Best Original Film Score in the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards.^[26] The soundtrack to the film Kung Fu Hustle was released in 2004 and 2005 in conjunction with the 2004 Hong Kong-Chinese martial arts film directed by and starring Stephen Chow. ...

Plot

The 1930s Shanghai is in turmoil. Various gangs vie for power, the most feared of which is the Axe Gang, aptly named after their preferred weapons. With the police powerless to stem the crime wave, people can only live in peace in poor areas which do not appeal to gangsters. An example is Pig Sty Alley, a tenement home to people of various trades, run by a promiscuous landlord and his domineering wife. One day, two troublemakers, Sing and Bone, come to the alley impersonating members of the Axe Gang to command respect. Sing attracts the real gang to the scene, but the gangsters are repulsed thanks to the martial arts mastery of three tenants (the Coolie, Tailor and Donut the baker).

Sing and Bone muse their failure, and Sing describes his childhood. He spent his life savings to buy a [[w:zh:如來神掌 (漫畫)|Buddhist Palm]This is a style which is fictional in that the Buddha being of extreme good, thus martial arts by Buddha is both of the strongest version of hard chi and also used only by those of good intentions] manual from a beggar with the intention of "preserving world peace". He practised his skills, but was beaten and urinated on when he tried to save a mute girl from bullies trying to steal her lollipop. Sing realises that the good guys never win and decides to become a bad person. The duo then steals ice cream from a mute female vendor and escape happily on a tram.

The Coolie fends off the Axe Gang with his Twelve Kicks from the Tam School.

Angered by his gang's defeat, Brother Sum hires the Harpists, a skilled pair of assassins. They strike Pig Sty at night as the three martial artists are getting ready to depart, having been evicted for antagonising the gang. The three are overwhelmed and perished even though the Landlord and his wife, also martial artists, intervene against their will and easily drive off the killers.

The following day, Sing mugs the mute ice cream vendor, who is revealed to be the girl Sing saved in his childhood. Upset, he berates Bone, and while despairing in the gutter he is picked up by the Axe Gang and joins their ranks. Brother Sum, having earlier witnessed Sing's ability to quickly pick locks, instructs him to sneak into a mental asylum to free the Beast, the Ultimate King of Killers (終極殺人王) to kill the Landlord and Landlady.

Brother Sum is initially sceptical of the Beast, but is ultimately convinced. The Beast approaches the Landlord and his wife in Sum's casino. Using a giant funeral bell as a megaphone to amplify the Landlady's Lion's Roar, the couple nearly defeats the more powerful Beast, but they are outsmarted by his desperation move, resulting in a stalemate. Brother Sum instructs Sing to smash the Landlady's head with a table leg, but Sing hits the Beast instead and is quickly pulverized. Fortunately, he is carried off by the Landlord and his wife while the Beast's back is turned. The angry Beast casually kills Brother Sum when rebuked.

Sing fights the Axe Gang.

Back in the Alley, Sing quickly recovers, and his potential as a kung fu genius is realised. He then engages the Axe Gang and the Beast. He dispatches the gangsters with ease but is sent flying high into the air by the Beast. Up in the sky, Sing realises the Buddhist Palm, diving downwards with his body ablaze, holding out his palm. He creates a hand-shaped crater in the ground, defeating the Beast. He easily stops the Beast's desperation move and the Beast concedes defeat.

Some time later, Sing and Bone open a sweet shop that specialises in lollipops. When the mute ice cream vendor walks by, Sing goes out to meet her. The two revert to their childhood forms, running happily into the shop. Outside, the same beggar who sold Sing the Buddhist Palm manual offers a selection of martial arts manuals to a boy eating a lollipop.

Parodies and references

Kung Fu Hustle makes references to a wide range of films, animated cartoons and other sources, drawing on ideas from wuxia novels. The housing arrangement of the Pig Sty Alley is similar to that of a 1973 Hong Kong film, The House of 72 Tenants (七十二家房客). During the altercation between Sing and the hairdresser, the hairdresser states, "Even if you kill me, there will be thousands more of me!".

An aerial shot of Sing fighting the Axe Gang. The fight is reminiscent of The Matrix Reloaded.
