I have to admit that I didn’t enjoy Kung Fu Hustle as much as many others did. Don’t get me wrong… I did like it… but I wasn’t thrilled with it. It was a little too loony toons for me (if you know what I mean). But hey, it was still good fun.
Now it looks like the sequel monster has struck and there is a Kung Fu Hustle 2 in the works. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stephen Chow and his team have been working on a script while doing the 30 country tour for Sony releasing the original Kung Fu Hustle.
Personally, I think this is a BAD idea. Chow is fantastic, and if you haven’t yet seen Shaolin Soccer (superior in every way to Kung Fu Hustle) you really must! However, doing a sequel just for the sake of a sequel gives me an itch deep in my ass (thanks for the visuals John). Move on to something new Stephen! I’ll line up to see whatever it is.
