9. Kung Fu Hustle

Ya know what pairs well with weed? Kung fu. And dancing. Yeah, kung fu dancing. If that sounds like an odd combination to you then you aren't nearly high enough.

Basic plot: A wannabe gangster tries to join the notorious "Axe Gang" in the middle of a turf war with the residents of a slummy housing complex who just so happen to have super powers.

Kung Fu Hustle is Stephen Chow's second experimental martial arts movie. Following the success of his first hybrid, Shaolin Soccer, he decided to up the ante by increasing the zaniness all around and playing up (or subverting) every major trope found in the old school kung fu movies.

Basically, picture one of the better Naked Gun movies set in Shanghai, with a tasteful use of CGI and excellent martial arts choreography.

This isn't the most thought-provoking genre send-up, though, so if you're seeking a more analytical high, then you should look elsewhere.
