Kung Fu Hustle after 20 years of climbing to the top in Vietnam, thanks to its valuable comedy scene

The movie Kung Fu Hustle starring Stephen Chow has unexpectedly climbed to the top of the most watched movies in Vietnam. This achievement proves the enduring vitality of the classic movie that was released 20 years ago.

At the time of its release, Kung Fu Hustle surpassed Shaolin Soccer, another Stephen Chow film, to become the highest-grossing Hong Kong-based film. The action comedy became the most widely released non-English-language film in the United States, an achievement many directors would envy.

Up to now, after 20 years of its release, Kung Fu Hustle still makes the audience fascinated and analyze every detail and philosophy in the film. QQ page once highly appreciated this film, affirming that every character, costume, dialogue, and detail in the film has become a classic of Chinese cinema. With just a glance, the audience knows which character it is and which scene it is in Kung Fu Hustle.

The characters in the film such as Bao To Cong, Bao To Ba, Lao Quai Hoa Van Ta Than, and the group of martial artists in the film all left a deep impression on the audience. Up to now, Kung Fu Hustle has become the most successful work in their career.

In addition, Kung Fu Hustle also brought Stephen Chow countless awards. At the 2004 Golden Statue Awards, the film was nominated for 16 awards and won 5 awards: best picture, sound, special effects, action direction and editing. At the Golden Horse Awards, Kung Fu Hustle also won 5 awards such as best picture, best director for Stephen Chow, out of a total of 10 nominations.

Stephen Chow is known as the King of Comedy in Hong Kong, his works have a wide reach and great influence on popular culture. Stephen Chow's films are praised for being humorous yet profound. He created his own school of comedy called "no-nonsense". Hong Kong media commented "Every year there is a Best Actor, but only once in a hundred years does Stephen Chow come around", to praise the outstanding talent of the male artist.

"Kung Fu Hustle" is considered the pinnacle of Hong Kong comedy king Stephen Chow's film career. In the film, each image and scene carries different meanings.

QQ once had an article analyzing the classic Kungfu Hustle by Stephen Chow. The film was released in late 2004 with a budget of 20 million USD but brought in a revenue of 100 million USD. Kungfu Hustle is highly appreciated because it is a film full of symbols, hiding many profound messages. The more the audience analyzes it, the more they admire Stephen Chow's talent.

Accordingly, the names of the innkeepers are Bao Su Ong and Bao Su Ba, which are also the names of Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu in the underworld. In the film, Bao Su Ong uses Tai Chi Chuan, Bao Su Ba uses Lion's Roar, both are famous martial arts of the Condor Heroes couple. Fire Cloud Evil God uses Kap Mo Gong similar to Ouyang Feng. The beggar who opens up 5 martial arts manuals at the e.nd of the film are all famous martial arts in Jin Yong's novels.

According to QQ, "Pigsty District" is a metaphor for Kowloon City, the poor neighborhood where Stephen Chow grew up, so poor that no one managed it. In Tinh Gia's eyes, this place, although poor, is not ordinary, "there are countless experts", "crouching tigers, hidden dragons".

In Pigsty, the characters appear strange and humorous, but there are still details that show their noble qualities. That is when A Tran stands up to say that he will pay the rent for everyone, protect the weak when the landlady scolds him. That is when the barber affirms that even if he falls, there will be many others who will fight against evil (when A Tinh comes to Pigsty to rob). They are symbols of the good qualities, kindness, and fearlessness of the poor.

In the first image that appears, A Tinh has crushed the children's ball, creating the image of a bully who does not spare even children. The scene also shows that A Tinh hates naive children who are easily deceived. A Tinh once confessed that when he was young, he saved m.oney to study to become a doctor, but was tricked by a beggar to buy the martial arts book Nhu Lai Than Chuong to fight for peace. Because of believing in this dream, he gradually declined, becoming a poor and miserable person, instead of choosing a practical life and a high-paying job. This is a metaphor.

QQ analyzed that Kung Fu Hustle may just be the illusion of a bullied b.oy named A Tinh, who dreams of becoming a martial arts master to eliminate evil. In the final scene, it can be seen that the passersby are the characters that appeared in the movie.

The barber and A Zhen are on a date. Bao Su Ong and Bao Su Ba are walking on the street. Fire Cloud Evil God is the traffic controller. Perhaps A Xing hasn't grown up yet and this is just a story he made up to satisfy his dream of becoming a hero.
