About the event

Film | Kung Fu Hustle

Cost: free; Registration in advance recommended

This anarchic homage to—and parody of—classic martial arts movies is nonstop action fueled by outrageous special effects. Featuring a cast of legendary Hong Kong action stars, Kung Fu Hustle pits the ragtag denizens of a rundown slum against the dapper and ruthless Axe Gang. With this breakthrough film, director Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer, The Mermaid) catapulted from clown prince of Hong Kong to worldwide sensation.

Director: Stephen Chow (Hong Kong, China). Released: 2004. Length: 98 min. Format: DCP. Language: Cantonese with English subtitles.
