Kung Fu Hustle (2004) - Fight Scene I 3 Masters vs The Harpists (HD) Movie Clip I 功夫 - 精彩打斗片段
Kung Fu Hustle (Chinese: 功夫, Kung Fu) is a 2004 martial arts action-comedy gangster film directed, produced, co-written, and starring by Stephen Chow.

Eva Huang, Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu, Danny Chan Kwok-kwan and Leung Siu-lung co-starred in prominent roles. The martial arts choreography is supervised by Yuen Woo-ping.
Kung Fu Hustle was a co-production between Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese companies, filmed in Shanghai. After the commercial success of Shaolin Soccer, its production company, Star Overseas, began to develop the films with Columbia Pictures Asia in 2002. It features a number of retired actors famous for 1970s Hong Kong action cinema and has been compared to contemporary and influential wuxia films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero. The cartoon special effects in the film accompanied by traditional Chinese music, is often cited as its most striking feature.
The film was released on 23 December 2004 in China and on 25 January 2005 in the United States. The film received positive reviews and grossed US$17 million in North America and US$84 million in other regions. It was tenth on the list of highest-grossing foreign-language films in the United States as well as the highest-grossing foreign-language film in the country in 2005. Kung Fu Hustle won numerous awards, including six Hong Kong Film Awards and five Golden Horse Awards. The film was re-released in 3D in October 2014 across Asia and America, marking the tenth anniversary of the film.
《功夫》（英語：Kung Fu Hustle）是一部於2004年上映的以中国功夫为主体的香港動作電影，由周星馳擔任導演、監製、編劇、配樂兼主演，錢昇瑋執行導演，袁和平和洪金寶任動作設計。故事取景於1940年代的中國，周星馳飾演一位無所作為、想加入當時最大幫派斧頭幫的小混混。該片的視覺效果廣泛地受到讚揚；卡通的風格伴隨著傳統中國的音樂則是最大的特點。
在《少林足球》取得商業成功後，暌違三年，其製作公司星輝海外有限公司於2002年起開始與哥倫比亞影業合作發展《功夫》。該片以許多70年代香港動作電影的退役演員為主，但也有當代有影響力的武術電影如《臥虎藏龍》和《英雄》等片的班底。
2004年12月23日在中國和2005年1月25日在美國發行。獲得了爛番茄的90%支持率和Metacritic的78%的支持率。在北美地區累計收入1,700萬美元，其他地區則收入8400萬美元。《功夫》也是香港歷史上票房最高的華語電影，直到2016年的電影《寒戰II》打破。電影是2005年美國歷史上銷售額第十高的外語電影，也是全國收入最高的外語片。功夫贏得了無數獎項，其中包括六項香港電影金像獎和五項金馬獎。這部電影於2014年10月在亞洲和美洲重新發布，標誌著該電影十週年。
2005年，周星驰接受BBC个人专访时，BBC称他是李小龙和成龙之后又一位华人国际巨星。不过，周星驰却很谦虚地回答：“有点不同，我更注重幕后的工作。”事实上，《功夫》共获得海内外22个电影奖项和33项提名，而海外奖项和海外票房一样占了8成以上。據美國哥倫比亞影業介紹，因為周星馳是《功夫》的作者，所以周星馳享有《功夫》17.5%的版稅。換句話說，周星馳因《功夫》所得版稅收益和《少林足球》一樣都在2000萬美元以上。

I've been obsessed with this scene all my life. The creativity, the music, the coreography, the effects... I wish superhero movies now were even half this good.
This scene is unforgettable. A masterpiece
Fr
I came here after watching the Dr Strange " music battle"... I said " no no no Kung Fu Hustle did a music battle 15 years ago lol"
Why don't we see fight scenes in Marvel's Shang Chi like this?
@Ching Vang supposedly Kung Fu Hustle 2 will be coming....fingers crossed
This whole 9 mins+ is just perfect. The comedy, the action, the visuals for 2004 is just crazy
The music too.
the details are amazing, check 4:11 both of them moved their head to different directions because they are blind LOL
@@evanwong855 In fact, the thinner one (the one who plays instrument) is the blind one, the other one can actually see. You can tell from some details of their first appearance. That's why the beard guy looked at the landlady and the other guy turned to sideway to listen.
@@evanwong855 blinds but can still hear 😭
Better than that time Matrix at least in efects.
This is my favorite scene. Perfect combination of tragedy, comedy, and badassery. The landlords revealing themselves as masters and avenging the fallen is so damn satisfying.
One of many. The assassination attempt is too damn hilarious! And every character adds something special to this film.
And blasphemy.
8:29 ... ehh...
In 2 years it will be 20 years. This will... still be a Masterpiece.
amazing movie that doesn’t feel aged one bit
This movie has stayed with me since it first released! There's just something about it's appeal that sticks with me to this day!!!
A century later . . . in 2123, earthlings will still consider this a masterpiece.
I love how respectful the harp guys are, everytime the landlady interrupts the fight they always stop playing to listen to what she has to say
More like they sensed something not normal. They had a feeling that lady was a Kung Fu master
I think they paused cause her voice would likely interrupt the rhythm of their attacks. That's why the strings snapped when it was vibrating and she unleashed a roar.
@@jackywhite9756 I think that was sarcasm.
They felt it something abnormal bcoz she behaved to them like they are nothing but little children playing a game, doesn't care them anything despite seeing that they are so dangerous but she is not afraid of them even a little but abusing them rather,......
this scene has taught me there's nothing more powerful than a housewife who's tired of your bullshit
Usually things I watched as a kid tend to be worse than I remember being spiced up by impressions, or simply getting old. After 18 years this scene just became better. There is nothing like this in modern movies. It's not even 'nostalgic' good, it's 'jaw dropping and impressive' good after all these years. You can't copy this.
It's very Hong Kong style comic.
This and shoalin soccer are a few movies I can play on repeat and sit and watch all day while I'm high or sober and still enjoy it as if it's new
The cgi became more obvious but with a scene this good, I don't even care.
@@numberc8420 The CGI describe the "power" of the weapon feel like... its really good describe. For people who familiar with Hong Kong comics, this is so COOL coz Stephen Chow bring those comic concept into movies.
That's what I'm sayin, son!! You know how we do up in this yatch. Where do you live? Maybe we can meet up for a drink? Get at me..
4:45-5:05 never fails to give me goosebumps with the way the actions syncs up with the music. This is damn near cinematic perfection!
OMG I thought I’ve was the only one who felt this way.. you are so right. This is one of my favorite part of the movie/scene
I think he figured that he had to fight them in rhythm and timing and I think that’s why it looks like he is dancing. Whole movie is awesome 😅
Immensely right
The excalation of the music tempo was very great... Very sync up with the coreograph...
五郎八卦棍！one specific type of chinese martial art that was invented more than1000 years ago by a person（who was the 5th son of the famous patriotic Yang family）during the Song Dynasty. It was originally using long spears, but since he became a monk in Shaolin, and monks were not allowed to use lethal weapons, so he modified and change spear into rod........ Lion Roar is a mythical and legendary chinese martial art that only exist in Martial Art novels(as far as I know). 铁线拳, the one with so many wrist rings, was also originated from Shaolin, and they hit HARD. In fact the actor in the movie was a real very famous Martial art master in Hong Kong (赵志凌) . The first one in the clip who died practiced 十八路谭腿， another form of Chinese martial art that mainly use the 4 limbs to fight, with emphasis on using legs. However, this form of martial has many varieties, all claim to be the original.
5:00 is the best scene by far
I really like the design of the 2 Guqin Masters, their weapon is literally an instrument for background music.
Absolutely. In fact they should have prolonged it.
dont forget this awsome shot 4:49
In some interviews Stephen Chow mentioned that he don't talk that much but spend a lot of his time thinking. You can imagine his brain thinking up all these amazing sequences and bring his imagination to life in this movie. True genius. The camera angle, the sound, the fighting style he wish to depict was carefully thought out. Most of today's movie will be not be a flop if they only spend half the time of what Stephen dedicated to his movie, ensuring everything is perfect.
Nin trekmireahni
to be fair, he copied all his favorite fight scenes from Kung Fu films to American films , its all in there, but yes, this film is amazing
Imagine this movie with today's cgi
Yes❤❤❤❤
4:55 best scene i cant stop watching
Just perfect. No stupid close up shots like these new shitty action films
Still sad they didn't make it alive they were great characters 😢
It really have another version that they still alive
indeed, still sad
Who? The landlord and the landlady?
@@uuiam No, The tailor and noodle
Yes
Epic scene starts at 6:53 🤣🤣. what a direction. no body would have imagined the old couple to be kung fu masters . Best movie
plot twist
Truly a remarkable movie. Especially when you find out the hundreds of references in this movie. And this scene is iconic. It's one of the best scenes ever in history of films to me. The music in the fight scene plays as the background action themed tune and is just great composition, the ridiculous humor (with the slapping and shouting, wiggle kung fu, the Axe Gang pissin and shttin their pants), the setting and tale of hidden mythical kung fu masters, the story leading up to this and everything else is 10/10. This movie breaks any language barrier. You don't just watch this movie just once if you know the title is what I'm saying. Stephen Chow, a Legend.
totally agree.. 10/10 !!! perfect scene.
Everyone: "Bard can't be a combat class, they are for support" The Bards:
That's what happens when the support class starts building hybrid items
以前當娛樂片在看，現在細看其實整個場景、人物、動作的設計搭配上，都具有細膩的藝術感
Nice
It's pure art
@Fatguy Meng 為什麼？
film ini sungguh luar biasa
@@NigelTong1989 娛樂與悲劇交雜的激戰，高潮迭起，可謂經典！
0:24 Everytime when I watch this scene: "NOOOOO NOT THE CAATTT!!!!!!!"
While you have to recognise the old man is actually in ShangChi movie, respect to Yuen Wah
And the 10 rings in this movie 😂
He is been alot great kung fu movies, see him in the Shaw brothers classic kid with a tattoo.
He was Bruce Lee's stunt double
He plays great villains
Oh wow, he was in that movie...I got to watch it now.
4:58 - 5:03 look at this. LOOK AT IT! Those mere 5 seconds are indescribable, it's a piece of art. I wish it could last for 5 hours and not 5 seconds.
Totally agree 👍🏼.. This is HK lung fu comic style kind of fighting. It diacribe how powerful the "qi" come out from the weapon.
I agree, it is one of the most beautiful scene I've ever seen
No marvel/ dc/ Disney/ james bond action scene can ever come close to this..this is not just some comedy-action, it's prime art. To make it even more badass, these casts, even the landlady, are real life martial artists and masters...unlike some balding white dudes who have to rely on stuntmen and CGI lol...
Totally 100% agree. This is classic.
I love the "casual" wall destructions while they fight to show how much power they had in their strikes
4:10, 6:30, 6:58. You can see the blind harpist is tracking with his ear, so he faces directions differently from his partner. Great details.
4:58 the spear master dancing along the music was amazing.
Thats probably why he was deflecting the shots so well, since the attacks were music based, him fighting for his life resembled dancing
这个场景展示了像舞蹈一样美的画面，但是下一个上方的无声镜头又体现了这优美之中的很多险境。
@@user-lw8dl7vv9v the spear master reminds me of Lin Ming from Martial World novel.
The music score needed an Oscar alone!
6:06 that axe thing always crack me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same
She was not playing that shit😂
I couldn't stop laughing when he just started pointing and screaming for no reason
This whole scene is arguably 1000x better than what marvel can produce
whole indian cinemas*
So true
@@chhanapachuau799 Have you seen RRR?
This film can't be copied. It doesn't simply rely on computer special effects like Doctor Strange, but requires actors, directors, screenwriters, sound effects engineers and special effects teams to love the concept of Kung Fu and know how to perform better.
@@user-lo9iz1ji3r and the mastermind of the choreography
The characters from this movies are so creative and does not feel like a generic heroes but a really unique one
The landlord revealing himself as a Kungfu master has to be one of the best satisfying things ever, through the movie he was shown to be a womanizer, pimping tom and cheater. But this time he drops the act due to his fellow masters getting murdered and gave those two villains a good beating.
The whole superheroes/kung fu master thing got me thinking that good people with power choose not to profit using their special abilities and lead a mundane ordinary life. Only bad people with power do
@@eandean you know how it goes, Great power great responsibility.
My favorite scene is when the two assasin jumps and immediately comes down, but the taichi master touch the ground few seconds later slowly. I know kungfu movies defies the laws of physics. But the scene was so subtle that it boggles your mind.
actually they are trying to run away because thats is not what they are assigned and hired for…they are not expecting to fight another kung fu master,but they are too late to realized they are fucked up
@@yusrifourtwenty4944 I thought they would attack the other 2 masters as well
One of the best films ever. If this was a Hollywood Movie, it would have cleaned up at the Oscars…
this movie is beyond Oscar
Hollywood movie is dirty
Hollywood is a piece of sh!+_ nowadays 🚮
it’s amazing how each character was able to have their shiny moment with their own skills, Even for the villain
What a poet, the fact that this scene where the spear guy dances to the music to deflect the knives is genius and landlord doing the same
This movie has special place in my heart. When I was young my family and I were always watching this (I couldn't remember how many times) but whenever I feel like watching it again. It doesn't make me tired despite of watching it again and again. it became our bonding moments. I miss those times
2:34 the badass moment begins!
In 2021, I still watch it and I will keep on watching it.
this really is one of the greatest fight scenes of all time. it's just so perfect.
of any genre in fact. This scene is an ode to cinema
The main actor has no name while the main actress has no lines. This is a true masterpiece beyond time.
fun fact: this role is still considered the best acting by the female lead, even though she had played more later.
There's a lot of Kung Fu movies,..this one need Oscar it's absolutely legendary
Beside instrument as their weapon, the harpist in the first fight with tailor guy was using kung fu called "Tiger Claw" style which focus their strength at fingers and nail. They can perform strong claw or scratch like a tiger, and their nail may be make by steel or iron which equip as a part of their finger, but they can't use the punch because nail will stab their palm. But this just a fiction design of that kungfu. In real life, Tiger Claw kung fu doesn't need nail to fight, just use finger to claw or scratch and you can use punch, palm also. And their instrument kung fu was called "The Demon Six-string Harp", they control the sound frequency of instrument to make that sound sharp as blade while playing music, so as you can see everytime they want to attack, they will swing their hand to release a flying blade, and final form of that kung fu, will release an army of death which strong chaotic vibrato from six-string swinging as the same time. This kung fu come from fictions which made by Ni Kuang, his fictions is famous, almost Asia people will know this kung fu even just watch this movie in the first time.
Lục chỉ cầm ma có phải của Kim Dung đâu bro?
@@money23007 thank bro, fix lại tên, mà không bik ông đó có nổi tiếng như Kim Dung ko, vì nhắc đến võ hiệp thì tui chỉ bik Kim Dung thôi.
Exellent explanation! Thanks for revealing a little bit of Asian culture to us!
U r talking about 六指琴魔，u do know much about Chinese wuxia,impressive,but sorry this kinda music attacking kufu is not necessarily from that movie.
@@GemstoneTribe yes, i'm talking about that kung fu, but i said it's fiction kung fu, right? I'm not sure where the original come from, but talking about guzheng or harp as weapon, i only know this kung fu. I remembeer i see many kind of this kung fu from many movie from Chinese, some movies describe it as sonic wave attack, some movies describe it as flying blade/reaper release attack. I'm not fan of Chinese movie, just my knowledge i got from family or people around told to me. i don't know the name of movie or name of author who wrote novel about this kung fu. If you know something, please teach me about it.
Having both musicians play the zither increases the attack speed because one provides the backing music, while the other focuses on strumming out the notes for attack.
Nice attention to detail.
@@master-of-many-fandoms2020 There are a lot of exciting details in Kung Fu Hustle to take note of. Like the reason why the musician cuts the branch, the cat, and the roof tile before killing the coolie is because the musician is blind, and he is trying to get the Coolie's height, the width of the alleyway, and stopping the Coolie to get a clean shot.
Do you know what’s the name of song?
I really like the elastic man. Dealing damage without using force.
The martial Art is Actually Tai chi, It wasn't intended to be a Self defense technique, but rather a way to connect with peace and harmony
Tai Chi in easy way to understand, that they will use the softness to counter the sturdiness, like this landlord, he use his elastic body to convert enemy hits and turn back it to them just like they hit themself. That's how Tai Chi work.
@@quyphuongtay in other words, u r up at dodging
@@xpellidagoat dodging and countering at the same time
supposingly you dont block with blunt force but redirects it out
This is how you do a fight scene. Incredible music and choreography. Beautifully shot. The results are irreproducible!
origins of the 10 rings can be seen here- the actor is the the actual Kung Fu master.
And the harp scene was recently brought over to Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness
Stephen chow movies are all timeless. He should be a national treasure at this point.
A classic work of genius
Poor Coolie didn't even get the chance to fight.
Silent decapitation without bloodshed🤔
Yes, I am also feeling very sorry for him.....
Because he is the weakest of the three guys, he doesn't even have the concept of "qi 氣" or "internal strength 内功" and can't feel the coming attack
If He Gets Fight, He Wont Do Much Thing
@@user-lo9iz1ji3r you need to carry toilet paper with you since you’re spewing a lot of bullshit. Where is the source for that information?
All the beatings he took were apparently sparring sessions with his wife. But because she was also a Master, he at most could only Tai Chi away the most severe of injuries. Well worth the effort! Since these plebs couldn't even touch him.
The flexibility of Tai Chi is his marriage philosophy 🤣
One of the funny subtle parts is when she comes out to yell about the noise, they quickly stop playing the instrument each time.
It's crazy! The harpists are not even sitting down on a chair, they just bent their legs and sit down as if they were on a chair.
The weight of the harp creates leverage for the harpists, who can rest their ankles on their bent knees without falling over. In emergencies, it is easier for them to move around than to sit on the ground.
@@bonkujo No, this is the basic skill of Chinese Kung Fu A kind of standing practice of stable footwall, we call it: zhanabu
zhamabu sorry
The best scene of movie history.
Years and years later I didn’t realize how important the sound direction was for this scene
Extremely. Wished I could a seen it in theaters and get the full immersion
That arrival of the master 6:53-6:58 by making the two jumping assassin come down with him behind them; is nothing short excellent and only worthy of a manga or live action of a manga🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾.
this scene is a cinematic masterpiece .... the music , the fight 😌😌
5:02 always makes me melancholy in the sense that I will never be able to achieve something as amazing as this
1:40 That smile part always gets me 🤣
I loved the entire movie. Great action and Kung Fu.
most iconic fight ever
It is~~!!!
認同
Stephen Chow did Donut dirty, 🤣 He's constantly closing in the distance but if you look at the tailor's shop, he has to go past it like 3 or 4 times.
Choreo: 100% Music: 100% Fuck it. Put this in a museum.
4:21 quizás unas de las escenas de pelea más bella que se haya visto. Todo es perfecto en esa escena.
No pensé que un latino estuviera aquí, mucho menos en tan poco tiempo. 😂 😂 😂
Approaching 40, this scene carries new meaning
i saw this movie way back high school days. now im 39 y.o..all i can say that this movie is so underated. this special effects are on another level.
His dancing with the staffs in this scene is one of my favourite parts of this movie and not just now, since I first watched it as a child
I loved this movie as a child. Scenes so silly and lighthearted, yet so epic, are difficult to come up with.
This is pure art at its finest Stephen Chow you legend ❤
This 10 min > last 3 fast and furious films
When I was a kid: this is the best action comedy bro Now: still one of the best action comedy but this is truly exquisite and beautiful art works as well as never gets old
6:53 is such a cool scene.
That’s how a real threat should feel. Utter calm and quiet
This is what live action anime should be like
Saw this movie on theater back in 2005, this is my "Best Movie in 2005". Still one of the best movies I've seen so far
@4:33 fun fact, those are the 7 spears of Zhao Yun.
Both the tailor and the claw guy also played in Jackie Chan's movie Snake on the eagle's shadow. The claw guy made cameo as the first person that was killed by the villain in the beginning of the movie, while the tailor is easier to spot on during the movie.
It's really nostalgic. This is my personal favorite scene😄 It is exactly the final form of the sound game.
The way lady screams is like my mom when she see me playing game instead study lol
hahaha🤣
That Old Lady is so legendary. 🔥🔥 Her screaming kung Fu is lite
The attack (Lion's Roar) at 8:50 is like a shotgun made of shockwaves. Extremely deadly when used in close range, but it becomes weaker when it gets farther.
That's explain why the harp only lost their clothes
With the funeral bell. Forget the shotgun, it's a goddamn beefed Bass Cannon!
@@jasoethesentienteyeshapedg4847 heck yeah. Even at long range the damage was massive using that bell as an amplifier
the harpists are myfavorite characters in the movie
5:58 This part will never not make me laugh.😂 The sequence was just comedy gold!
Sad that Donut always comes late. The first time he's late but he helps save the day. The second time he's late the three of them are undone.
If it was just one on one, Tailor probably has a good chance of eventually winning but after a hard struggle. Donut too would probably have a winning chance as his range is longer than the long claws harpist. Just as long as those staff and spears are not destroyed.
But they don't need 2 people to play the Chinese guitar?
@@theUserdudex Playing together makes them twice as deadly. One on one against the Long Claws Harpist is doable.
@@theUserdudex no they dont but if you pay attention, their music tempo really pick up after the tiger claw play duo with the harpist. Before then, the attack came in at a steady rate
This is Cinematic Masterpiece!!!
when it's already 2022 and this is still much better than whatever live action remake japan releases.
Top10 Character introduction in Anime HIstory. #4 6:54 #3 8:35
This scene is my favourite scene in entire movie.
Me too.
Who comes here after watching multiverse of madness's musical fight? 😅
Yes, I remembered this exact scene after seeing Dr. Strange 2.
I came here after seeing the Cinemawins video about this movie. Just came out today.
They even include the variant of Blackbolt in this movie
It was an amazing scene but this one in my opinion is just plain better.
Never underestimate a woman.
Really wanna see Landlord use his Tai Chi to counter the sound ghosts. Seemed like he had a plan...
It's been 18 years yet everytime I watch this, it still feels fresh.
Dude, this master piece is beond erfect. This perfection is just to much to handle.
totally agree 👍👍👍
Even modern movies fight scenes can’t match this fight scenes
totally agree.
只能说这种电影真的无法复制 珍惜
沒錯，珍惜
This whole movie is like a live action anime.
This is one of my all time favorites. A mix of kung fu and comedy.
Such a bad ass scene makes me wanna go watch it all over again this movie was legendary
This fight scene is absolutely mind-blowing.
This movie is a masterpiece and one I will always enjoy watching. The tailor and spear were always my favorite masters. Lastly, the choreograph and the music are just well done.
totally agree 👍
when the harp plays and you watch the fight, it's like sync with each move, I love movie like that, this movie is a legend
This Movie will forever be a true classic of amazing cinema
The Dread you feel when you see how hopeless the fight was till she Interferes, and they weren't afraid of letting go of such well built Characters. Comedy with Action can be done with Dread and when it is done right you get Fans that won't forget.
if you listen carefully, all the residents speak in cantonese, which is the main language of Hong Kong, and the 2 intruders speak in Mandarin, which is the main language of China. This reflects the local Hong Kong people's perception of non-local Chinese people. I am impressed by the way this movie portrays social phenomena.
These two intruders who play the harp? Only one of them spoke Mandarin. The other one spoke Cantonese.
08:12 my favorite part
Me tocó 😂
