Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Set amid the chaos of pre-revolutionary China, small time thief, Sing, aspires to be one of the sophisticated and ruthless Axe Gang whose underworld activities overshadow the city. Stumbling across a crowded apartment complex aptly known as "Pig Sty Alley," Sing attempts to extort money from one of the ordinary locals, but the neighbors are not what they appear. Sing's comical attempts at intimidation inadvertently attract the Axe Gang into the fray, setting off a chain of events that brings the two disparate worlds face-to-face.

The exotic original score by Raymond Wong is complemented by the film's classical pieces, notably Sarasate's acclaimed "Zigeunerweisen" and Khachaturian's famous "Sabre Dance."

This film makes me want to learn Cantonese and Mandarin.......2006-01-31

Whenever I listen to this, the music really recreates the scenes in my head for me. Especially tracks 12 and 17. This version contains dialogue--I don't speak the language, but the quotes still make me laugh. The only downside is "The Blade". Like F. Vernon wrote below, "The Blade" doesn't have the sound effects of the swords that really make your heart pump faster when watching the fight sequence.

I sprung for the more expensive version of this soundtrack because I really love this film and have seen it maybe five or six times in the last month. The cd booklet contains stills from the film from some of its tender moments (lollipop!) and translations of the quotes.

A "Must Buy" for Kung Fu Hustle Fans.......2005-11-15

When I was considering buying the soundtrack to Kung Fu Hustle, I was a bit disappointed to see that it was missing "Zhi Yao Wei Ni Huo Yi Tian" (Ö»ÒªÎªÄã»îÒ»Ìì). Luckily, I found this on Amazon. As another reviewer pointed out, this soundtrack has more tracks than the American release including some of the cool dialogue from the movie which may or may not be a bonus. For me, it's great that they've been included even though my Cantonese is pretty weak because they evoke some of the scenes from the movie so vividly. As an aside, my favorite is "Pay the Rent" (ÌÖÕ®). Not all of the music maintains the same effect from movie to CD, though. An example of this is The Blade of Gu Qin (±Ê·æ) which is played when the Tailor and Doughnut are fighting the two assassins. I felt it was really powerful in the movie, but played by a single instrument on this CD it loses a lot of its punch. Overall, though, I highly recommend the album.

Comprehensive soundtrack to the film.......2005-09-07

While the American release has almost every part of the film's score, it is missing one: "Zhi Yao Wei Ni Huo Yi Tian", the song that plays during Sing's reunions with Fong (which happens to be my favorite). The imported OST contains an instrumental version of it as well as one with lyrics. The CD also contains the 1970s classics "Kung Fu Fighting" and "The Hustle" in the event that you'd like musical manifestations of the film's namesake.

Besides those four songs, the CD is interspersed with dialogue from memorable moments in the film. You probably won't get much if you don't speak Cantonese or Mandarin (although there appeared to be English translations in the booklet of the Hong Kong import). However, depending on your level of affection for the film, it might not matter.

Overall, if you want the most comprehensive soundtrack available and enjoy listening to the film's funnier moments, then this is the CD to get. If you don't care about listening to Chinese dialogue and can live without the one missing song, then the American release is the cheaper and faster option.

What about the dialogue?.......2006-04-08

I have a question about the dialogue on this CD... is it interspersed on separate tracks between songs, or do they talk during the songs?

Loved it!!!.......2005-10-21

As a Chinese, I love this soundtrack and the movie very much! There is no more I can say. However, it's a good soundtrack and I love it very much.

great CD, but incomplete..........2005-09-20

This is the soundtrack released to the U.S. Just so you know, the soundtrack sold in Asia features a few more songs. Most notably missing is a song preformed by Huang Sheng Yi, called "Zhi Yao Wei Ni Huo Yi Tian" which comes toward the end of the movie. It might be my favorite song in the movie, and it's too bad it's missing from the U.S. soundtrack.

Fantastic Soundtrack.......2005-08-20

If you have seen this unbelievable movie, then you know how incredible the music is. It matches the mood of the movie and everything the previous reviewer said I agree with. It has great sweeping scores with an extremely cool "oriental/chinese" sound and presence to it. I mostly bought it for a few cool songs I fell in love with when I saw the movie and the whole album is great. You will recognize a few of the songs used in a lot of other chop socky/martial arts movies and you'll really enjoy having them along with all the other great music on this soundtrack and it goes without saying, but if you haven't seen or bought this movie yet, get it. We need to encourage Stephen Chow and support him in his endeavors to make more great movies instead of the same old rehashed formulaic, cookie cutter, boring(need I go on?)"Hollywood Entertainment" fare.

There comes a time when you find a soundtrack that's..........2005-06-14

...Absolutely perfect!

As a collector of various movie soundtracks, there are many times when I am utterly dismayed by how unrelated they are to the movies they are supposed to complement.

The Kung Fu Hustle CD, however, is far from any of that! I watched this movie four times in the theater, and every time, the music just mesmerized me from start to finish! The movie was great, and the music was even better!

I quickly ordered the soundtrack from Amazon.com, and when it arrived, I was far from disappointed. This CD is fantastic! It does not leave anything out. What you hear in the movie is what you hear in the CD from beginning to end. The tracks are even in order of which they appear in the movie!

If you enjoyed Kung Fu Hustle, then the soundtrack is definitely for you. Go forth! Purchase the soundtrack, and prepare to be pleasantly entertained by the delightful music!
