I watched Kung Fu Hustle on Netflix. I had heard of the name of the movie and decided to try it. It is a comedy kung fu movie that goes over the top. This is what some mean by gonzo. I recommend not reading about it and just watching the movie.

My inspiration is that I now have the idea for a village that is full of tough NPCs. Strong and muscular farmers and laborers who don’t take nonsense. This was all from the first few minutes of the movie before I knew what was going on.

I can imagine a group of PCs trying to run roughshod over such a village, only to be hoist by their own petard. Definitely something to use on a group of players that think they can rule over any village in sight.

It is good for a laugh and has several things in it that one could use for RPG inspiration.
