If Kung Fu Hustle hit the spot, these will too

Both are Stephen Chow's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Easier on the grit than Kung Fu Hustle

Stephen Chow working the same nerve twice
The difference: Trades the grit of Kung Fu Hustle for an angle of its own

Both land wit and play at once
The difference: Sits closer to romance than Kung Fu Hustle does

The same preoccupation in both: gangster

Common ground: anarchic comedy
The difference: Leans harder into drama than Kung Fu Hustle does

Both keep coming back to the same thing: martial arts

Both are built on the same subject: mafia
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

One thread runs through both: magic

Another one that scratches it

Kinetic where it counts, gritty underneath

Action built on dream logic, twice over

Comedy with a pulse of momentum, in both cases
