However, one of my all-time favorite Kung Fu movies is a comedy called Shaolin Soccer. Whether or not you like soccer or kung fu, you MUST see this movie, it is a gut-buster. It is Andy Lau's pre-Kung-Fu-Hustle film. Easily makes my top-10 all-time fave movie list!!!
Nostradamus,
I saw Shaolin Soccer a few years ago. One of my friends is a big movie buff and he insisted that I see it. Hilarious indeed. Kung Fu Hustle is also one of my favorites. As with any foreign film, some things get lost in translation and there are a few parts in both movies that are even funnier in Cantonese.
Forbidden Kingdom has plenty of fighting action and entertainment. I wouldn't give it an Oscar, but one really awesome aspect of the movie is the landscape. Now my husband really wants to go visit said Kingdom. I guess I should start learning Mandarin, or else we'll have to take my mom with us.
I haven't seen House of Flying Daggers as I heard it was sort of a let down after Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but I'll put it on our list of stuff to rent.
I also highly recommend Jackie Chan's Drunken Master II but it seems to be difficult to find the Cantonese version with English subtitles. The dubbed version just isn't the same!
