Film at Freer: Kung Fu Hustle (Meyer Auditorium) July 15, 2005

Stephen Chow, the clown prince of Hong Kong cinema, has made a career out of mercilessly lampooning everything from sports to cherished Chinese legends. His latest is an anarchic, relentlessly hilarious homage to - and parody of - classic martial arts movies. Featuring a cast of legendary Hong Kong action stars, it pits the ragtag denizens of a rundown slum against the dapper and ruthless Axe Gang in action sequences fueled by some of the most outrageous special effects ever devised. 2004 / 95 min. / Cantonese and Mandarin with English subtitles
