Suggested correction: He could, in fact have an earpiece/hearing aid in place, and what with the wild night he's been having, the accident and all, a blood pack is not out of place either.

It's visible that just a little amount of blood dried up in the ear. Not any earpiece or blood pack.

Kung Fu Hustle picture

Revealing mistake: At the start of the movie, when the axe gang leader is finishing off the now-one-legged man, you can see in his shadow that he's not hitting the man. Also, if he did hit, you should think that he'd have to pull out the axe blade again, but again in the shadow's arm movement, you see him move his arm in a circular movement, not hitting the victim.
