Kung-Fu Hustle: The Harpists vs Donut

The closest thing we'll get into a proper live-action anime. This and Shaolin Soccer are timeless classics.

Jokes aside, the fight choreography is so good for a comedy film like this

I like the small details of the Harpists' attacks, like how when they strike refined chords, they manifest blades. But when they just strum dissonant, it becomes a blunt punch

This landlords are so powerful that you have to pay rent in order to stay alive. Anyways, I've always loved this scene.

4:19 This scene gives my goosebumps and chills. That cold entrance was too scary. This movie is old but every time I watch this, it never fails to amaze me.

During the beginning of the film, we see how the Axe Gang is powerful and terrifying until the trio effortlessly defeat the Axe Gang. Even then, the three still meet their demise at the hands of the Harpist. Then we get to see the Harpist was no match against the couple. Then they show us again no matter how strong the couple, the killer Beast is just on another different level. Finally, the Beast himself was a piece of cake in the eyes of main character true power(the moment he unlock the Buddha's Palm). It's like anime power level scaling.

This is such a creative and beautifully executed fight scene. The concept of the killer piano, the choice of music, the wushu movements from the spearman. All so beautiful.

3:30 she casually caught the axe 😂

When I was younger I felt so bad because I wanted the Harpists to win....their skills were so unique I wanted to keep seeing it action. Still my favorite part of the movie...

The fact that it doesn't need a background music in this fight because the fight itself IS the music. Such excellency✨

Stephen Chow is really a great director. He really did well on showing what kids loves to watch that is timeless, Ii always bring back memories watching this.

4:19 that entrance tho always gives me chills..

If only Ditkovich is as powerful as them. Peter would’ve have paid the rent.

3:34 that henchmans laugh before he gets kicked has always killed me 😆

This movie is a masterpiece. I love everything about it.

2:26 is actually a dance without the animated visualisation. The actor is so talented to make it a natural Kung fu gesture and stance and it turns out to be a nice scene

4:21 The entire movie, the husband was the one that was like "it's not our business, let them do whatever. Don't get caught in it" But when those harpists felt threatened by his wife and were ready to launch an attack, he literally jumped in like "you're not touching my lady. I will not let you get close to my wife" I just love this movie!

This is more than a decade old right? Still gets me hyped up. What a masterpiece!

4:21 the fact that the landlord decided to beat them up while they don't have their harp is a very smart move

Every time Yuanqiu uses the lion's roar, she puffs it out together with the cigarette she is smoking😂😂
