This was made by the director of Shaolin Soccer. It looks really funny and cool. Here’s a [trailer](http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/kung_fu_hustle.html), and the [Official Site](http://www.sonypictures.net/movies/kungfuhustle/). Watcha thank? ---

I was wondering when this would show up. I just haven’t seen anything really funny in the trailers. Kung Pao seemed funnier in just the previews. I’ll catch it anyway though. ---

Kung Fu Hustle is so awesome. I saw it at South by Southwest not knowing anything about the director’s previous stuff, or even that much about the plot, and I went to it mainly because the theater was close to the theater that would be showing the midnight movie right afterward. I loved it. I thought it was hilarious, and though I am no expert on kung fu, it was really good fighting. In several of the fights I remember thinking “this is what The Matrix was aiming for and didn’t quite reach.” As far as I could tell, everyone else in the theater loved it as well.
