Kung-fu Hustle 功夫 (2004)

(dir. Stephen Chow 周星驰) I remember being underwhelmed when I saw this in Beijing on release, but now, having now seen much more of the kung fu cinema to which this pays loving tribute, I adore it. It’s the older actors who steal the show: Yuen Qiu 元秋 as the landlady and Bruce Leung 梁小龍 as the toad kung fu master amongst others are superb. ★★★★☆
