Kung Fu Hustle

Hong Kong film auteur Stephen Chiau (aka Stephen Chow) returns with his newest action-comedy after the groundbreaking, and box office record breaking film Shaolin Soccer. Set in Canton, China in the 1940s, the story revolves around a hapless wannabe gangster, Sing, who aspires to become a member of the notorious "Axe Gang." The Axe Gang, meanwhile, want to reign supreme by occupying the most coveted territory, which is a sacred street protected by an unlikely cast of characters, many of whom are highly skilled kung fu masters disguised as ordinary people. After several encounters with thugs and a fearsome adversary known as The Beast, Sing overcomes his inadequacy and realizes he is the greatest kung fu master of them all, destined to protect the sacred street.
