Quote:
Back in the summer of 2004, a friend from a website I used to review for encouraged me to review Stephen Chow’s movie Shoalin Soccer. Biting the bate, I decided to purchase the disc and give it a shot. I was not disappointed one bit. It was one of the most entertaining movies I reviewed that year. When it was announced that another of Stephen Chow’s movies would be released in the form of Kung Fu Hustle, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. After viewing this on DVD, I came to the conclusion this man is absolutely brilliant, in that he was excellent at using special effects and wire work in such a unique and interesting way. Instead of using special effects as an integral part of the story, he uses it to enhance the comedy, to create these outrageous scenarios that are silly and humorous, but at the same time interesting and ingenious. The movie is exceptionally well balanced, with outstanding acting, captivating music, gut busting humor, but also shows very good character development, and outstanding pacing. This movie does not take itself too seriously, but seeks to make you laugh using old school Kung Fu, silly outrageous circumstances, the look and actions of the characters, and over the top special effects.

After the success of Shaolin Soccer, Chow was approached by Columbia Pictures to do a follow up movie right on the heels of the above mentioned title. The budget was set for $20 million, and shooting was done in Shanghai from June 2003 through November 2003. The fight scenes took up most of the time, as often times what was planned just didn’t quite work out when filming. The fighting scenes of Kung Fu Hustle were initially choreographed by Sammo Hung. Production suffered a setback when Hung quit after two months due to illness, tough outdoor conditions, interest in another project and arguments with the production crew. Chow immediately contacted Yuen Woo-ping, an action choreographer with experience ranging from Hong Kong action cinema of the 1960s to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the early 21st century to replace Hung. Yuen swiftly accepted the offer. In doing so, certain scenes in production under Hung were cancelled. Yuen managed to take seemingly outdated wuxia fighting styles like the Deadly Melody and Buddhist Palm and recreate them on the screen with his own imagination. In spite of these production issues, Kung Fu Hustle went on to gross $4 million in its first day opening in Hong Kong, eventually grossing $60 million in Hong Kong alone. In the states the movie made $17 million dollars in limited release, and the movie made a worldwide total of $101 million, making it the highest grossing foreign film in North American history.

The post Stephen Chow – Siu lam juk kau AKA Shaolin Soccer (2001) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A poor Chinese laborer learns important lessons after his son gets a strange new toy.

Plot:
Construction worker Ti (Stephen Chow) lives in a ramshackle shanty and scavenges everything from shoes to toys from the trash dump. Despite his state of abject poverty, the earnest, lesson-spouting Ti is determined to send his son Dicky (Xu Jiao) to a posh private elementary school. Dicky, however, is a lot more interested in playing than studying, and he’d like nothing more than a CJ1 robot dog to show up his bullying classmate. Unable to afford a CJ1, Ti brings home “CJ7”, a curious rubbery green ball he found at the dump. His son isn’t impressed – until the ball shows its true alien form, morphing into a little green dog whose penchant for mischief gives even Dicky a run for his money. Stephen Chow has helped launched the careers of many a starlet, and this time CJ7 co-stars Mainland newcomer Kitty Zhang and talented child actress Xu Jiao who genderbends as Chow’s son. Chow was so impressed with Xu Jiao’s performance, he not only has more plans in store for the budding ingenue, he’s adopted her as his goddaughter. Other key comedy players include portly Stephen Chow regular Lam Chi Chung and the cuddly titular alien that serves as another testament to Chow’s ability to effectively integrate state-of-the-art CGI into his films.
