Special Effects Team To Blame For Asura’s Wrath Plagiarism, Say People Blamed for Plagiarism

Stephen Chow's latest box office offering, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, is slated by the Chinese press to rake in billions of yuan by the time its run is over. However one thing is still causing problems for Chow: the allegations that his movie stole assets from a video game.

Plagiarism in China? Say it isn't so!

Stephen Chow is a legend. I think I might watch Kung Fu Hustle again.

Chow is great and Kung Fu Hustle may be one of the funniest movies ever made... But that scene was a blatant rip-off of Asura's Wrath, no way to talk out of it.

it depends on the intention behind it. Was it a nod to a popular game or to rip off the scene. I think its the former.

huge difference. Stephen Chow doesn't do DLC.
