Accented Cinema – Episode 120
I’ve always believed that this film is better than Kung Fu Hustle. A love letter to friends is better than a love letter to other movies.

  1. Well, when making this video, I also went through quite an adventure. I got sick for a week, narrowly avoiding disaster by recording the narration one day before losing my voice. And then I spent 2 straight days uploading 18 versions of this video due to how strict this platform has gotten. Hopefully the video is entertaining and worth the effort.

    Anyway, thank you for our patrons for keeping us afloat, and thanks Squarespace for sponsoring the video.

  2. I grew up in africa(Rwanda)and i'm always surprised by how many refernces we get in common with the people outside the western influence, kungfu movies, bollywood, nolllywood so many things i couldn't find someone to discuss with when i first got to live in belgium,,,, any who all this to say thank you for your channel not only do i get the refferences i didn't get at the time i get free bonus nostalgia trip

  3. I think this was my introduction to Chinese films, ofc as a Chinese person, I would eventually watch Chinese film, but when I first watched this, it immediately became one of those movies that could never be replicated.

  4. Ive watched stephen chow movies more so of Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle even though some of the jokes flew over my head as a kid even still do, it's still something i and my siblings always rewatch and never get tired of it

  5. You are spot on about Man Tat. Like you I have grown up watching Stephen Chow comedies and always seen them together. At the end of Shaolin Soccer, when the trophy was presented, I didn't see them as characters of the film, but as real life comrades.

  6. 1:10 WTF? A new Shaolin Soccer movie in the making? Cool!
    You know why I like Stephen Chow movies? Because you see an ever rereading cast. It is just like watching a Monty Python movie or one of those Spoof movies. Its the same guys making another cool and interesting movie.
