Kung Fu Hustle/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crazy Awesome:
    • The Beast, especially his Toad Style.
    • The Tailor does not put on his arm rings in any fashion resembling "normal"; it's either yank them down from some curtains or have them stacked on a table (where he then slaps the table hard, shooting them up into the air and down onto his arms).
    • The Lion's Roar definitely counts. Especially with a mega-phone in the form of a bronze bell. Even The Beast didn't know what hit him.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: You really don't know whether to laugh or cry at the CGI FX needed to depict Sing's head getting bashed INTO the floor, deeper and deeper each time, over and over...
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Most of these are mixed with below trope, but the most awesome goes to, of course, Sing's final attack against The Beast and how he easily disarms his An Qi.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome:
    • The fight with the Musicians versus the Baker and Tailor. This is pretty much the Musician's schtick.
    • The film score got pretty epic for the Three Masters Reveal.
    • The Credits song is pretty awesome too
    • Pick a track, it's hard to go wrong. Realization will make you wince, no matter how many times you watch the movie. "That's a pretty big fist you've got there."
  • Ensemble Darkhorse - Yuen Qiu (Landlady), who earned an award nomination and several roles in later movies.
  • Tear Jerker: The romantic subplot, believe it or not.
  • This Is Your Premise on Drugs - What happens with the kung fu flick genre drinks a mixture of Red Bull and Powerthirst.
