Typical Kung Fu fare, methinks. When I first watched "Iron Monkey," I was super impressed (in a way I wasn't with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), but my parents have seen it all their lives (they're from Taiwan), so they said it's just a typical Kung Fu movie lol...
I would say "Kung Fu Hustle" is a bit reminiscent of "Shaolin Soccer" except with a 40's noir/gangster film overtone.
Like "Shaolin Soccer", it's got some comedic moments (it's meant to be a comedy + Kung Fu).
There's a scene where they emulate Spiderman (the version I saw was dubbed) "With great power comes great responsibility" but it was with an Asian accent/mis-speak.
Like--"he is off his rocking chair" lol
I enjoyed it, though. Fun flicks with action peppered in (any Bruce Willis action flick and some Arnold Schwarzzenegger [although he tries a bit too hard] flick that's supposed to be comedic) are really the best. You don't have to be too invested, and it doesn't require too much deep thinking, so you can just enjoy it for the fluff and mediocrity that it is. And when you do (go in w/this mindset), you find that it's a quite enjoyable story.
[meanwhile, random Baby Bullet ads peppered in make me want one!! And the real thing, too...]

I'll make this more complete soon...
