Kung Fu Hustle (2004) dir. Stephen Chow
Kung Fu Hustle constructs an imaginary city of pre-communist Shanghai through a fictional world of images and collages in order to recount notions of Chinese-ness. [This imaginary city] is situated in the temporal and spatial combination of past and future, fantastic xia [warrior-heroes in Chinese literature] and urban gangster, nostalgia and capitalism. ... Chow's genre borrowings result in a collage of several major trends in Hollywood cinema ... to represent the urban Chinese landscape in the 1940s.
