𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Set in Shanghai, China in the 1940s, a wannabe gangster aspires to join the notorious 'Axe Gang' while residents of a housing complex exhibit extraordinary powers in defending their turf. Fresh off the success of his debut feature film Shaolin Soccer, writer, director, and actor Stephen Chow pays homage to the ‘70s Hong Kong action cinema of yesteryear. KUNG FU HUSTLE is best described as Buster Keaton meets Jackie Chan meets the Looney Tunes. In Mandarin and Cantonese w/ subtitles.
