If the Cantonese is original, why seek out the Chinese (Mandarin) dub?

Because Stephen Chow demanded it. Chow, who plays Sing, did not voice the Mandarin version himself, but he hired the legendary voice actor Shi Banyu (石班瑜) to be his "Mandarin voice." For over a decade, Shi Banyu was the dedicated Mandarin voice for Stephen Chow in nearly all his films (Shaolin Soccer, Flirting Scholar).

Shi Banyu’s performance in Kung Fu Hustle is legendary. He replicates Chow’s manic energy, his pathetic whining, and his sudden heroic baritone. For millions of fans who grew up watching Chow on VCDs in China and Taiwan, Shi Banyu is Stephen Chow. The "Extra Quality" Chinese dub preserves this culturally significant performance with pristine audio fidelity that standard TV broadcasts destroy.
