mikeszekely Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Seems like my kind of movie (I liked Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, after all). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 can't believe i missed this. hope the blurays are already out in the east. Kung Fu Hustle made me laugh so hard. and i see similar zaniness in the trailer. it looks like the big buddha palm is back too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechapilot77 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 looks all kinds of awesome. definitely will be seeing this or getting it on bluray. one correction though...journey to the west isn't originally a novel but a folk legend. its possible novels were written later and this is based on it though so if thats what you meant than my apologies.

Dangard Ace Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 This is not the JttW you're expecting. This is him starting his Journey and gathering the 3 demon companions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
