If you'd like a laugh, check out this video of some of the best moments of Kung Fu Hustle.
This movie is completely insane, but I mean that in a good way.
The protagonists are a good for nothing thug who doesn't appear to be capable of winning a fight with anyone, and two older characters who are the most unlikely of heroes.
One is a middle aged landlady who appears with her hair in rollers throughout the movie, and the other is her middle aged out of shape husband. They are actually characters taken from Chinese folk tales. Once beautiful and elegant, in the movie they are middle aged and broke. They have grown tired of heroics and are very reluctant to help anyone in the beginning.
Here is a link to the entire movie which is now on youtube. Even if you don't generally like martial arts movies, you might find yourself enjoying this one.
I might be up a bit late today, but I will respond to your comments when I can. I hope everyone has a good morning.
