Beggar (as Cheng Yan Yuen) Chi Ling Chiu .... Tailor Kung Fu Hustle was one of the most visually imaginative and unique movies I have seen in quite some time. Upon first viewing the trailer, I thought we would have another Kung Pow: Enter The Fist on our hands but, boy, was I wrong. Unlike Kung Pow, the jokes did not grow tired on me and the special effects were definitely top notch. The scene with the two assassins playing that stringed instrument (don't know the name of it) in such a way that it kills was incredible. Although there was not much to the story, it was not non-existent, either. There was a simple story happening which made sense for what we were watching. Even the jokes with the subtitles came across as funny, and from my experience, humor does not translate as easily as this movie would have you believe. It borrowed or spoofed a bit from Spider-Man and The Matrix as well, which was a bit unexpected for this film, initially. At least for me. To be honest, I could enjoy this movie without sound or subtitles, too. It was that appealing to the eye. It would be a good background movie for a party or poker game which could catch your eye at any moment and still hold your attention. It could also be great if you feel like a good comedy. I was entertained throughout and even though I was dead tired when I saw it in the theater, it held my interest all the way to the end. 9/10 avi info: display preferences: w:640pix h:256pix audio preferences: lengh: 1:39:25 bit rate: 129kb/s encoder: MPEG Layer-3 video preferences: 23cps transfer rate: 120kb/s sample rate: 12 bit video coder: Xvid codec

Finally a copy with the original language spoken and not the silly ENGDUBed one. Excellent quality as well and works great with this eng-sub:

I just downloaded this but it's really only Japanese (or whatever Asian language it may be, I can't tell). there are unfortunately no subtitles, BUT the quality is very good!!!

The spoken language can't be Japanese.
It's should either Cantonese or Mandarin.

Its Cantonese not Japanese or some Asian language.
Its a Hong Kong film so its not possible for the original language to be Japanese.
