The 2004 original film was a huge global success with gross earnings of USD17 million (RM69 million) in US and USD84 million (RM341 million) in other countries.
On the plot of Kung Fu Hustle 2, Chow said that it will not be a traditional sequel but a more of a "spiritual follow-up" set in the modern day.
