7 Best And 7 Worst Releases On Netflix In May
11. Best - Kung Fu Hustle
"The supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy", said Bill Murray of Kung Fu Hustle in 2010, and he doesn't dish out praise loosely.
His thoughts came five years after Kung Fu Hustle's release, which went on to become the highest-grossing foreign language film in the USA that year. Maybe only a Cantonese dub of Johnny Depp's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would've faired better?
Several shots from this martial arts marvel have since cropped up in other superhero action films, while Stephen Chow includes references to Casablanca, West Side Story, Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, The Karate Kid, and even Spider-man in his clever script.
Kung Fu Hustle is beautiful and will kick you in your laughing parts when it comes to Netflix on May 18th.
