Stephen Chow is the funniest filmmaker/ comedian in the world that you've never heard of. Unless you saw the Miramax-butchered version of Shaolin Soccer.
Chow Said to Reveres Chaplin
Comic actor and director Stephen Chow says his biggest influence was Charlie Chaplin, a newspaper reported Sunday.
Chow co-wrote, directed and starred in the 2001 "Shaolin Soccer." He is promoting his next comedy, "Kung Fu Hustle," which opens in Hong Kong on Thursday.
"I have many influences, but the greatest one was Charlie Chaplin," Chow was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post. "I can't remember exactly when I first saw him. I was 3 or 4 or 5. I just remember not being able to stop watching."
"Shaolin Soccer" starred Chow as a monk who unleashes his kung fu skills in his soccer game. It broke box office records in Hong Kong and Chow won prizes for best film, actor and director at the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2001.
The film, distributed in the United States by Miramax Films, did poorly overseas, however, and Chow told the Post he was unhappy with the dubbed version.
Chow said he wants to make a film that's a hit outside of Asia. "To go international is very important to me," he said. "I just don't want to waste my time."

I've just been molested by sony ericcson.
"I must not neglect Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle," which is -- what? Imagine a film in which Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton meet Quentin Tarantino and Bugs Bunny. Yes. That describes it nicely."
- Roger Ebert

alright, thats got my $9.
I saw this one this morning, and it's pretty damn swell. The first three quarters were pure, unadulterated bliss, marred only by a rather lame and anticlimactic ending. For that same reason, it's not as good as Shaolin Soccer (although I can't speak for the Miramax version - I only saw the original), but overall, this is a can't-miss popcorn film of the highest order.
SPOILER
I thought the ending was quite great. some s f/x was a bit reminiscent of shaolin soccer, but overall, he did the buddhist palm justice. It's a "palm" much-mentioned in comics, pulp novels, and lesser movies, but Chow did a swell job of bringing it to life.
*discussion of a spoiler, but no spoiler per se...
BTW ghostboy did you see it on the DVD?
I finally realized why you thought the ending was anticlimatic. I think there's this cultural thing that'll be really hard to translate. the idea of the "chi gates" opening, thus releasing a devastating amount of power. it's something widely accepted in the culture, so accepted, in fact, that the term "opening the chi gates" has become synonymous with "breakthrough". It literally says the "ren" and "du" arteries has been drilled through. so when the bum told Sing that as a kid, it was pretty much set up like a plot point, thus the tension became "how would Sing do that?"
I dunno, it makes total sense to us.
I guess that explanation gives it more credibility. I thought, since they already had a few Matrix jokes, that it was just like an extended parody or something. When they called him The One, it just annoyed me.
I saw it in the theater, btw. Is there any difference between the versions distributed in Asia and the one coming out here that you know of? I refused to see the Miramaxed Shaolin Soccer, but I assume Sony Pictures Classics had a bit more respect (especially since Sony funded the movie).
spoiler.
well, I thought "The One" was a result of a lazy translation. the Chinese dialogues made no mention of "The One", in the beginning, the lady said something like "there are martial geniuses out there, but the chance of meeting one is one in ten thousand." Then in the end she said, "who could've thought, he was the one in ten thousand?"
plus, the fight in the tenenment square against the axe gang was a homage to an old Chang Cheh movie called Boxer from Shangtung, as well as an old cantonese comedy, house of 72 tenents.
saw this tonight. i loved it and had a great time. i laughed my ass off and thought the fights were amazing. i hadn't seen shaolin soccer until about a month ago when i watched the original subtitled long version on dvd and thought that was really good too. but i thought this was even better. hilarious, different and lives up to the quote. it brought such a joy to the filmmaking that it was infectious. i only wished there had been more dancing. everyone should go see this. this is (so far) my favorite movie of 2005.
The translation in Shaolin Soccer was terrible/lazy. If that says anything.
I have yet to see this. In theaters in Michigan tomorrow.
Delightfully Over the top. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. It reminds me of a Besson film where the film's over the top antics are grounded by one relationship that you care enough about.
A true popcorn flick. Enjoyable even if the third act doesn't keep up with the energy of first two acts. I'm glad my little city on the map got this flick the first weekend of its major release.
This was a really funny movie with some crazy special effects. A good time.
first act was wonderful - it lost its steam for me and became a little underwhelming.
i think the strength was in the slapstick elements - the kung fu sequences were a bit tedious.
over all a fun flick
this movie was a lot of fun. almost enjoyable as the film was figuring out how the film got China's government censor panel's seal of approval. My assumption is that they pitched it as the story of the lowly people of Pig Sty Alley, who, emblazoned with the true spirit of communism and fellowship, come together, with the help of the humble and poor peasant business owners of their community, to overcome the forces of the capitalist mafia, who just happen to dress like the monopoly man.
hong kong movies go through a different board that frequently allows rape and grotesque murder in their full exploitative glory.
'Hustle' up: Col readies sequel
Source: Hollywood Reporter
CANNES -- Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group is prepping a follow-up to Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle" as Sony Pictures celebrates seven years of concentrated activity in international production in the Far East and a huge international rollout of "Hustle."
Columbia Pictures Film Production Asia managing director Barbara Robinson said Chow and his writing team from "Hustle," including Tsang Kan Cheong, have been writing a draft in the evenings while on the road for the 30-country Sony Pictures Releasing International rollout of the film. Chow has conducted more than 300 one-on-one interviews around the U.S. and Europe.
"He works well within our system," Robinson said. "He knows we love this film ("Hustle"); he's seen the way we've gotten behind him, and we have great distribution clout." SPRI plans to begin shooting Chow's follow-up to "Hustle" before the end of the year, said the head of Sony's foreign-language operations, Columbia TriStar vice chairman Gareth Wigan, SPRI senior vp marketing, acquisitions and local productions Sal Ladestro and Robinson. "We'll shoot it somewhere in China, but until I read the script we won't know the budget," Wigan said. "Ever known a sequel to be cheaper than the original?"
The team, gearing up to co-host what will be one of the biggest parties during this year's Festival de Cannes with MTV tonight, said the rollout of "Hustle" had been "unprecedented in size and scope" for an Asian filmmaker.
The buzz in Cannes is high for a film that is not part of the official festival lineup. Ladestro said Cannes provided an excellent platform to launch a film "across the whole of the West," with the world's press all looking to the Croisette. "The whole of Sony has got behind this title," Wigan said. "We try to make a film first and foremost for its own territory. We have the capacity, as a worldwide business, to deliver the movie to audiences around the world."
"Hustle," a follow-up to Chow's Asian boxoffice smash "Shaolin Soccer," also set records in Hong Kong. Sony Pictures Classics released the movie in the U.S. and scooped up $14 million at the North American boxoffice while the movie has taken in north of $75 million to date.
Columbia TriStar's Kung Fu Hustle (due 8/9 - SLP $28.95) will include 2 deleted scenes, a blooper reel, audio commentary with members of the cast and crew, the Making of Kung Fu Hustle: A TV Special featurette, a Ric Meyers interview with Stephen Chow, an international poster art exploration gallery and trailers. Video will be anamorphic widescreen with the original Cantonese and dubbed English Dolby Digital 5.1 and French Dolby Digital 2.0 surround audio (optional English and French subtitles will be available). The film will also be available in full frame and UMD for PSP the same day.

I'm torn over whether I should purchase this dvd or not. Is there going to be an unedited version released? Would it matter, how substantial are the edits, this is the same version everyone here in America saw in the theater right. Should I hold out, should I put out.
i didnt realize there were any edits made to this. are you sure you're not thinking of Shaolin Soccer (which does contain both versions on the dvd)?
First I saw that it was listed as edited on dvdaf.com, and then I read this at dvdtalk.com:
QuoteNow that all the praise is out of the way, let me complain for a minute. For whatever reason, Sony Pictures has decided to release the American theatrical cut of the film onto DVD. What's the big deal, you ask? Well, the US cut removes most of the blood from the fight scenes, which lessens their impact, and it also removes a 'turd' from another scene that ruins a joke. Why Sony decided in this is anyone's guess, as none of this material would have cost the film it's R-Rating, but it is missing and that's just plain lame. While this doesn't really ruin the tone of the film as the cuts are apparently pretty minor, it is yet another example of a major studio monkeying with a foreign film for no apparent reason.
ooooh, that sucks. i had no idea. damnit, can't this bastard get a decent american release!? i also don't know if i can resist buying it.
I feel the same. But being broke really really helps on that front.
http://dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews16/kung_fu_hustle_dvd_review.htm
Despite the R-rating, the American release is very slightly cut/censored. The parts censored are:
• After the scene where the landlady knocks the landlord out the window onto the ground, the original Hong Kong version shows a bit of blood flowing out from under the landlord's face after the plant smashes his head. The American version removes the blood.
• Sing's failed attempt in intimidating a Pig Sty village farmer, who punches him square in the stomach. The Hong Kong version shows Sing spitting out blood, which ends up appearing on the farmer's face after Sing asks her what she does. The American version digitally removes both the blood being spit out (but blood is still seen around his mouth implying it was "coming up") as well as the blood splats on the farmer's face.
• During the night scene right before the attack from the musicians there is a long take showing what most of the residents of Pig Sty are doing, including someone crouching on the ground having a "bowel movement". The Hong Kong version shows a piece of paper with excrement on it implying what he was doing, while the American version removes the paper and its "contents", leaving the viewer confused as to why he's simply crouching down with his pants partially down.
• While these scenes were censored, two were completely cut:
When "The Beast" punches Sing in the chest in the casino, two extra shots appear in the Hong Kong cut, with the first being a slow motion shot of blood spraying upward The Beast's face, and the second being another slow motion shot, this time of Sing's head flying back with blood spraying from his mouth.
Soon after this, Sing's face is punched into the ground by The Beast, and a several second slow motion shot of The Beast's bloody hand being raised from the ground is shown in the Hong Kong cut. The American cut simply jumps from the shot of Sing's head being punched through the ground to the low angle shot of The Beast pulling his fist up.
that sucks cause the movie was still rated R, but the movie rules anyway and i will buy it fo sho.
Yeah I bought it. And a bottle of Lipton Iced Tea Green Tea with Citrus. Pretty good purchase overall.
Quote from: Losing the Horse:Yeah I bought it. And a bottle of Lipton Iced Tea Green Tea with Citrus. Pretty good purchase overall.
that Lipton tea was substantially edited for American release. :yabbse-thumbdown:

No blood or bowel movements in the US version.
According to the Taiwanese media, filming of the sequel to Kung Fu Hustle will begin in Shanghai this September or October and will complete by the yearend. Almost everyone, including Stephen Chow himself, Lam Tse-Chung (Chow's sidekick), Yuen Qiu (the Landlady) and Yuen Wah (the Landlord), will reappear in the sequel. Even Chan Kwok-Kwan, whose character died in the first film, will return with a new character. However, Huang Shengyi, who played the female lead, is currently trying to leave Steven Chow's agency and her chance of returning to the sequel is quite small. The action will still be handled by Yuen Wo-Ping and there will be more action sequences in the sequel. The budget is about US$ 15 million and part of it comes from Sony Pictures.

haha...man that sucks...i wanted to see this shit bad too......
well, how bout this...is it better or worse than, um, lets say the grudge?
dude seriously. it makes The Grudge look like The Ring. The Grudge is a masterpiece of originality/acting/terror compared to this. TG was like 'eh', whatever. this is just, i feel bad for Naomi Watts for being in this and having to see it at the premiere and be like 'oooh, this sucks.' she should've known better. the ONLY thing that could've made it worse is if they had replaced Naomi and the kid with bad actors and had them playing the same roles. i can't believe the script was written by the same guy who wrote the first one. what the hell was he thinking? Noam whatsisface knew to jump ship on this one.
Quote from: NEON MERCURY..and the xixax faithful have never let me down [yet].....
if u really believe that u shouldn't hav rented the ring 2, and u should see kungfu hustle.
It was a lot better than I expected. Thank God those zany/wacky "cartoon" moments I kept seeing in the commercials that really turned me off from wanting to see this (along with "Kill Bill meets Looney Tunes" reviews) because I thought it was gonna be another Kung Pow without it's tongue in cheek, work better in context.
I've seen a lot of people turned off by the sheer goofiness this movie employs but i'm pretty sure i had a few assumptions of what i was getting into after seeing Shaolin Soccer.
Kung Fu Hustle 2 Will Have to Wait
The rumors that Stephen Chow would be putting off his planned sequel to international hit Kung Fu Hustle were finally confirmed yesterday, when it was announced that Chow's next project will be the sci-fi flick the internet has been muttering about for weeks. The film, which is currently called A Hope, will star Chow as a wayward astronaut who "accidentally lands on another planet." But it doesn't stop there -- get this: "Through the help of a robot who communicates with aliens, the astronaut develops a father-son relationship with a young alien." Whoa. The role of the alien has yet to be cast (and there's no truth to the rumor that Chow is looking for green-skinned youngsters whose eyes grow on stalks), but Zhang Yuqi will play an android, and Chow regulars Yuen Qiu, Danny Kwok-kwan Chan and Tin Kai-man are also confirmed.
Kung Fu Hustle 2, meanwhile, will be pushed back from its 2006 release date, reportedly to allow Chow time to work on the script.
stephen chow vs. the aliens. how can it go wrong.
so I was eating dim sum in oakland when I saw this old dude in a water melon stripes shirt--bright green and pink stripes polo shirt I believe, looking very familiar. I asked my friend N'jeri if he looked like the gay tailor from kungfu hustle, and she said yes, indeed he did, except he looked a lot younger than 63. I called my buddy Onassis up, 'cause I forgot his name and didn't wanna address him as "the gay tailor in kungfu hustle." Onassis is this half filipino/ spanish friend of mine who has fought in the UFC and is pretty hip with the gossips and the news of the martial arts world, and he told me yes, Master Chu does live in Oakland, and briefed me on his lineage a little bit. I went up to Master Chu and he seemed pretty surprised that someone knew him as a master, and, with my rusty Cantonese I told him I thought his "que sau" was fantastic and threw in some kungfu terms just to sweet talk the man and his young looking wife. he was pretty friendly and we chatted just a little bit. Then I realized I just got a camera phone so I asked N'jeri to take a picture. He got up for the picture, then he was like, dude, we've gotta do kungfu poses. He was like, you've gotta do this and I'll do this. man, when I figure out how to upload pictures I'll put it up.
EDIT: I just figured it out, kinda.

Col, Chow's Star team on niche projects
Source: Hollywood Reporter
CANNES -- Columbia Pictures Film Production Asia and Stephen Chow's Star Overseas are teaming up on a multifeature production collaboration.
The two companies will collaborate on a series of niche films featuring new and emerging Asian talent both above and below the line. The hip-hop dance romantic comedy "Jump," which is based on an original story by Chow, marks the first project under the new production partnership.
The story centers on an awkward and naive farm girl (Kitty Zhang) who dreams of stardom in the big city. A cleaner in a local dance school by day, she secretly pursues her dream by night, perfecting her own unique hip-hop martial arts dancing style. Her transformation quickly becomes a media sensation but affects her life in unexpected ways.
Chui Po Chu ("Kung Fu Hustle," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") is producing the film. Zhang will make her screen debut opposite Chow in his upcoming comedy feature, tentatively titled "A Hope," which will be released by Sony Pictures Classics in the U.S. and Sony Pictures Releasing International worldwide, excluding China.
"Jump" is set to start production in China in the summer with Sony Pictures Releasing International handling worldwide distribution for this and all future films produced under the new collaboration. No decision has been made yet on which arm of Sony will distribute "Jump" in the U.S. In the past, Chow's films have been released by Sony Pictures Classics.
"Asia is producing some of the most exciting new talent," said Gareth Wigan, vice chairman of Columbia Tristar Motion Picture Group. "With Stephen's superb artistic sensibilities and commercial instincts combined with Sony's distribution and marketing expertise, the prospects for this collaboration are extremely exciting."
Chow's production company previously collaborated with Sony on "Kung Fu Hustle," which proved to be a boxoffice hit and was nominated for a 2005 Golden Globe for best foreign-language film.
Star Overseas recently wrapped the Chow-helmed "A Hope." SPRI will release "A Hope" worldwide, excluding China, with Sony Pictures Classics distributing the film in North America. The movie was produced by Star Overseas in association with mainland China co-production partner China Film Group.
"With Sony joining us in this initiative, Star Overseas has the capacity to further expand its support of a new generation of actors and showcase Asia's young filmmakers to the world," Chow said.
A Hope is gonna be an awesome film--Stephen Chow meets aliens. that just sounds awesome.
