well this movie is new to america (it's already been released in japan), and it's obviously about kung fu! but it's got more comedy elements into it. i've only seen the trailers so i don't really know the plot, but it looks frigggin awesome and hilarious! ;D it's already out in NY and LA and comes out everwhere else later this month. ;D

Stephen Chow (actor-director-writer-producer of Kung-Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer) is, IMO, the funniest guy in all Asia...I definetely won't miss this movie.
This is a review I found about it:
Set in China in the 1940s, the movie takes deft notice of how the poor are exploited in Pig Sty Alley. Chow stars as Sing, a wanna-be gangster who's willing to step on the underdog to impress the notorious Axe gang, whose members hack up a rival before doing a musical number in top hats and tails. You get the picture. And if you don't, join the hustle. Nothing is safe from Chow, who spoofs the CGI tricks of The Matrix, turns his characters into live-action cartoons and then, miraculously, makes it all ring true. Does the plot spin out of control? You bet. But dumb fun this smart is a gift.

Yeah, this movie looks hilarious. It reminds me alot of Kung-POW! Another comedy that parodies the old Kung Fu films. I may actually end up having to go see this one at the theater, it looks too ridiculous to miss.

Well, Stephen Chow's sense of humor is kinda different from what you saw in Kung-Pow!, to me, his humor is way better. Just watch Shaolin Soccer if you haven't...u'll know what I mean. ;D
