HUNG-KU FUSTLE
kung-fu hustle is out in limited release, and ign has a coo interview with the man himself, stephen chow. they talk about his success, miramax’s release fuckup with shaolin soccer, the movie, and casting the people he did for the movie. in case people werent familiar, not only did chow recast many of his usual stars, but he also brought in alot of well-known old-school martial arts movie stars. anybody you see kicking ass in the movie is probably an old-school chop-socky star…the landlord and lady, the beast, the three martial arts masters, etc. word. check out the interview, and then go track down the movie.
