	DVD Times - Kung Fu Hustle
		As a note to those who might be expecting something a little more light hearted, Chow's style this time reflects his work in From Beijing with Love in that the film's violence is a lot bloodier.
		With a few twists and sad choices to be made the film becomes a little uneven in tone (and I complain only because I loved the characters), leaving us to witness certain characters pass in favour of Chow running away as a successful hero.
		With a little more time spent in developing certain areas Kung Fu Hustle could have been Chow's greatest film to date but while certain things are lesser touched upon the film is still an incredible achievement.

		Bound by a contract where he is little more than an indentured servant -- with his family's wages going straight to Master Yu for the duration of his training -- the boy will spend the next ten years of his life learning the intricate, physically demanding art of the centuries-old Peking Opera.
		Unceremoniously dubbed “Little Big Nose” by his peers, this is, in fact, a very young Jackie Chan.
		Samo Hung portrays his own former teacher, Yu, as we see the three boys undergo the rigorously demanding daily workouts and early, panicky theatrical escapades that would forge them into masters in their own rights.

		Yuen Qiu (pronounced Cheo), a star of the 1970s who retired from filmmaking over 20 years ago, was convinced by Chow to come out of retirement to play Hua's wife the Landlady.
		At age seven, as Kan Chia Fung, she attended the same Beijing Opera School as Yuen Hua and was given the name Yuen Qiu by Master Yu Jim Yuen.

		The training sequences are the core of the film, as Gordon faces the sometimes tortuous challenges presented in each chamber and learns the necessary skills to overcome them.
		It's a nice little lesson for the audience in the foundations of kung fu, though necessarily abbreviated for time (the film can't realistically last the full five years of Gordon's training).
		However innovative and influential Lau Kar Leung was in the 60's and 70's, his style was starting to look a little dated by 1978 though, as Golden Harvest was developing more fluid and acrobatic styles thanks to the work of the Seven Little Fortunes and others.
