TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Bruce Lee Tribute: When the Landlady is seated between the Boss and his assistant, she faces the boss, and mimics the gestures Bruce Lee used while also facing a crime boss in Return of the Dragon. She wags her finger at him, then closes both fists, then just the right (while knuckles cracking can be heard), she jerks her head up, and the boss nods he understands, then she thumbs her nose, exactly like Bruce Lee.

In an August 2010 interview with GQ magazine, Bill Murray praised Kung Fu Hustle, saying it is "the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy" and that "there should have been a day of mourning for American comedy the day that movie came out".

Surpassed Shaolin Soccer (2001) in February 2005 to become the highest-grossing Hong Kong-made movie in Hong Kong.

During the jailbreak, Stephen Chow's character turns down a hallway which reveals an elevator door gushing blood. This is a direct reference to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" (1980).

Three scenes are not directed by Stephen Chow. The fight that reveals the three Pig Stye Masters is directed by Sammo Kam-Bo Hung. The "Burly Brawl" parody, where the One fights the thousand men in black suits, and the fight in the night, where the three masters face the two musicians, were directed by Woo-Ping Yuen.

Popular Dialogues

"Barber: Why don't you train us to be top fighters... and we'll avenge them! Landlady: Becoming a top fighter takes time, unless you're a natural-born kung-fu genius, and they're 1 in a million. Barber: [Does martial arts routine] It's obvious I'm the one. Landlady: [immediately punches him in the face] Don't think so."

"Sing's Sidekick: Memories can be painful. To forget may be a blessing! Sing: I never knew you were so deep."
