Kung Fu Hustle features a dynamic mix of orchestral score (by Raymond Wong) and classic 1940s Chinese songs (e.g., "Zhi Yao Wei Ni Huo Yi Tian").
The holy grail within the grail. Some “Extra Quality” versions are rumored to use a later re-dub, possibly for the 2015 4K restoration. In this track, the voice actors finally match the frantic pacing. The Landlady’s signature smoker’s cackle has gravel. The Landlord’s prissy falsetto is perfectly irritating. And Stephen Chow’s Mandarin voice (for his character, Sing) no longer sounds like a bored bureaucrat; he captures the pathetic-yet-hopeful whimper of a failed gangster.
Look for release naming clues in or high-quality encode groups:
When searching for an "extra quality" version, you are looking for more than just a standard 1080p rip. The film has undergone several restorations over the years.
If you see 128 kbps or AAC 2.0 – that is extra quality.
