| | Kung Fu Hustle (2004): Stephen Chow, Lam Tze Chung, Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu - PopMatters Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) |
 | | An initial city-street face-off between rival gangs establishes the dominance of the Axe Gang -- the action so hectic and ferocious (the film's fights and wirework are choreographed by the brilliant Yuen Wo Ping and Sammo Hung) that you fully appreciate their reputation by the time you meet Sing, who wants to become a member. |
 | | The newly aroused Pig Sty Alley fighters are the tailor (Chiu Chi Ling), the coolie (Xing Yu), and baker Donut (Dong Zhi Hua), all pleased enough to discover one another that in between battles with the bad guys, they test one another, because, of course, that's what they do: fight. |
 | | Also enlisted are the lascivious Landlord (Yuen Wah) and his money-mongering wife, the Landlady (Yuen Qiu, returning to the screen after almost 30 years). |
