Case Study: Stephen Chow's 2004 film, Kung Fu Hustle, represents a stylized Chineseness that Hong Kong Cinema has become famous for. Chow's film is full of energy, slapstick humor, contains short editing cuts, and reimagines the past (Chow's film is 1930's Shanghai). According to Raechel Dumas, in her article titled "Kung Fu Production for Global Consumption: The Depoliticization of Kung Fu in Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle" states that "In recent years nostalgia has become one of the most valuable aspects of Hong Kong cinema as these directors and others have gained international acclaim for their vivid depictions of local spaces, both past and present."
