Have you seen the movie??? They are finally promoting Kung Fu Hustle in the US. Stephen Chow is definitely a genius!
Film synopsis from the Kung Fu Hustle website:
Set amid the chaos of pre-revolutionary China, small time thief, Sing, aspires to be one of the sophisticated and ruthless Axe Gang whose underworld activities overshadow the city. Stumbling across a crowded apartment complex aptly known as "Pig Sty Alley", Sing attempts to extort money from one of the ordinary locals, but the neighbors are not what they appear.
Sing's comical attempts of intimidation inadvertently attract the Axe Gang into the fray, setting off a chain of events that brings the two disparate worlds face-to-face.
As the inhabitants of the Pig Sty fight for their lives, the ensuing clash of Kung Fu Titans unearth some legendary martial arts Masters. Sing, despite his futile attempts, lacks the soul of a killer and must face his own mortality in order to discover the true nature of a kung fu master.

I have watched this movie for at least five times. I believe that they are showing it this Friday here in the Bay Area. I will surely watch it again!
