Did a search and nothing came up, A Stephen Chow movie (Shaolin Soccer), comedy kung fu movie. Coming out in US on March 18.

Really good movie... I liked it a bit more than Shaolin Soccer. Same sort of humor mixed in with some really good fights and impressive special effects (good to see HK flicks catching up in that regard). If you thought Soccer was too silly, you probably won't like this one either.

The DVDRip in both DivX and DVD-R was all over usenet about a month ago, should still be available if you have a real provider. Probably on torrents somewhere still, but I like my movies without the free bonus lawsuit so I have no clue there.

shaolin soccer > kung fu hustle
the humour was there but shaolin soccer had a lot more
here are also a some notes:

potential spoiler?

the start of the movie, and most likely,the first big fight scene with the two guy playing the string instrument is choreographed by that fat chinese dude (samo?) but stephen chow didn't like it so he left...the fight scenes that came after that were all mediocre, more or less terminator fights. it saddened me
if you don't know who sammo is

also sammo and the couple all learned from the same kung fu master...just an interesting fact

msg board owned me

You didn't really say that Sammo Hung's choreography was better than Yuen Wo Ping's, did you? That's blasphemy, sir.

sammo and jackie chan had the same masters (along with a few others hong kong action stars)

i thought shaolin soccer was more funny. it made me laugh more often and was just ridiculous.

kung fu hustle had better fights but i felt it had a bit less of a plot than shaolin soccer. was still an awesome movie if you want a good laugh, cool effects and badass fights

Shaolin Soccer was the superior movie, but this one had cooler fights. It was too ridiculous is a not funny by loony toons sort of way. Was worth the torrent d/l.
