Who Killed Captain Alex? / Kung Fu Hustle (VIRTUAL WATCH PARTY)

These movies will be streamed on YouTube within our private Discord server, and the link to the server will be shared in the Zoom call. You are not required, however, to join the server. You can watch along with us on your own device.

Here we have two movies that you can argue don't fit into this group.

On one side, we have an impressive cinematic feat created with a budget of $85 USD (originally reported as $200). Who Killed Captain Alex? is a 2010 Ugandan action comedy that makes the most of its limited resources to provide a thoroughly entertaining hour and 8 minutes.

On the other side, we have Kung Fu Hustle, a critically acclaimed Hong Kong and Chinese co-production that blends martial arts and cartoonish special effects to provide intentional comedy.

Is it really fair to consider these movies "bad"? Let's watch our first non-English language films for the group and figure that out for ourselves together!
