It really is. There've been sadly few movies in recent years which have lived up to my expectations and Kung Fu Hustle (and Shaolin Soccer which I also love to bits) was one of them. From the moment the guy is doing the shimmy across to shoot the other gangster right at the beginning, I was totally hooked.
Well, Shaolin Soccer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286112/) pretty much goes without saying, while I really like Curry and Pepper (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099629/) and From Beijing With Love (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109962/).
He's also done quite a few historical movies, as well as two where he plays the mythical Monkey King (in one of which he gets to wear a very fetching paper loincloth, a paper bowtie and nothing else, which is quite amusing).
and I watched Rome for the finale... well as much as I could stand... I don't think I got 15 min in... ooo crap. I watched Up Pompeii instead. That was supposed to be bad ;)
And I'm not sharing the Purefoy love... More for you! But I thiught of you last night while watching Hawaiian Eye.
Awww, you missed Caesar getting it - there was so much blood it was like watching a John Woo movie without the bullets. ;)
And you keep saying this about thinking of me while you're perving over RC in his ultra-tight swimmies, but I have no idea what you mean... *looks innocent*
