^new^ - Kung Fu Hustle
Chow deliberately strips this space of martial grandeur. When the residents first reveal their skills (the coolie’s Tai Chi , the tailor’s Hung Gar ), they do so not for honor, but for survival against the Axe Gang. The film argues that kung fu has not disappeared; it has been repressed by modernity, hiding in plain sight among the working class. The Alley is a horizontal, egalitarian space, contrasting with the vertical, glass-and-steel Casino where the villain, the Beast, resides. To live in the Alley is to be part of a flawed but functioning whole; to leave it is to enter the corrupt world of individual ambition.
