I have a new favorite movie, at least in my top 10, called Kung Fu Hustle. It’s a Chinese movie by Stephen Chow. It’s actually made in Hong Kong, I’m not sure but I think people from Hong kong prefer to say they’re from there than China. Anyways, it’s sort of a parody/tribute to those old Kung Fu movies from Bruce Lee’s time. 

The plot set-up is about a gang that rules the town, (unnamed) and a young scrounger who wants to be join them. His target is pig-sty alley, a tenement complex that made him look foolish. Several battles take place as the gang and residents of Pig-sty alley fight for control, each one gaining and losing fighters in the process. Finally, the movie ends a final climatic ending between the scrounger on the side of the tenement, and “The Beast,” the worlds top assassin, who helps the gang in the hopes of finding an equal.

The movies fight scenes are awesome, and plenty of fighters are introduced. This clip is between two of the heroes of the alley, and “the harpists,” top notch assassins who use the harp as their primary weapon

The two heroes use the Iron Fist technique, specializing in using the fists and wrists, and the Hexagon Staff, specializing in the staff and spears.
