Stephen Chow

I’m becoming a big fan of Stephen Chow. I had never heard of the guy before Kung Fu Hustle. I rented Shaolin Soccer last night. Wow! This guy is the real deal. Hustle and Soccer are two of the most entertaining movies i’ve seen this year. His style is part Bruce Lee, part Three Stooges, and part comic book-like mythology. The action sequences are wonderfully absurd. Both films are a great deal of fun.

Chuck, I can’t agree anymore. I just saw Kung Fu Hustle ob Friday for the 1st time. Really great. The thing I keep asking myself is that they had 20 Million Dollars total and how come it looks better than things like Daredevil or the Fantastic 4? The FX were incredible, I’ll take that action over Spidey any day. I really don’t get it.
