"Kung fu Hussle"

Laughed my ass off, same playfullness as early Jackie Chan. Much recommended.

I saw it a week or so back - I'm not really into HK action movies, but I thought it was very feckking cool

Ultrasurprisingly, this is on at our local UGC. Might have to see it in the week sometime.

I recommended this a few weeks back, it's a great film. It's a shame these take so long to get over here as i would love to see them for the first time in the cinema but i often can't wait and just import the DVD.

Girlfriend loved this, but I don't watch films. As much.

So yeah, 8/10 based on her views.

The Guinea Pig films? not suprised. I loved STGP as it was a mishmash of loads of different styles rolled into one. Detecxtive, horror, SF, comedy, consiracy theory, romance. never seen anything like it before.

Whatever. If you want to be technically correct, with no drunk swearing and original title, it's "Gong fu" :D

"Oldboy" is a masterpiece. I can guarantee it's nothing like what you are expecting. "Save the green planet" I abosuletly loved, pretty much beacuse it's a movie that is partly all movies I've seen, but yet something completely original.

Off to watch Killer Klown from Outer Space now. must be at least 15 years since I last watched it.

Hahaha. You mentioned Kung Pow. I have a friend who loved that, he came with me to see this.

Technically it's nothing like Kung Pow. But if you were being critical, I guess you could draw similarities...

The knife scene and the barking scene have to be the most I've laughed out loud in a cinema.

I hated that, really couldn't get into it. I think it was mainly because the bits where the guy was tied up in the chair brought back bad memories of watching the Guinea Pig films a while back.

I had to go take a shower after watching that garbage, beyond sick, totally pointless and not in the slightest bit entertaining.

I thought this was gonna be another 'Kung-Pow' style film from the trailer I saw, so I've avoided it. Sounds like it might be worth checking afterall, probably wait for the DVD though.

I swear the films name was "Hussle"...
