Weird Wednesday is a weekly celebration of genre movies that are too outrageous for prime time. This is a one-way ticket to the fringes of the unknown, where imagination and ambition dance on the graves of logic and reality. From outlaw exploitation classics to inexplicable Hollywood excess, Weird Wednesday showcases mind-blowing genre discoveries that are unlike anything else you’ve ever seen.
Stephen Chow co-wrote, produced and directed this 2004 Chinese action comedy that brought Chuck Jones-inspired cartoon violence into the world of Hong Kong martial arts. Featuring over-the-top slapstick stunts, KUNG FU HUSTLE stars Chow as a wannabe gangster whose habit of impersonating members of the notoriously dangerous Axe Gang lands him in hot water once he runs afoul of the legendary group of thugs and murderers. It's up to the residents of a housing complex -- all retired martial arts master -- to help the opportunistic miscreant discover the hero he has buried inside. The supporting cast includes a who's who list of Hong Kong action cinema veterans including Yuan Wah, Yuen Qui, Danny Chan and Bruce Leung.
