BA_Harrison As anyone who has been exposed to the crazy cinematic world of Godfrey Ho can attest, cutting up an old kung fu flick and re-editing it with original footage can prove to be very funny indeed. I'm not saying that Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, a deliberately daft martial arts mash-up directed by and starring Steve Oederkerk, is quite as hilarious as, say, the unintentionally side-splitting nonsense that is Ninja Terminator (my favourite Godfrey Ho 'classic'), but for avid fans of 70s chop socky, or of randomly absurd comedy in general, it should provide a reasonable amount of giggles.Digitally inserting himself into the old school kung fu classic Tiger & Crane Fists, Oedekerk lovingly parodies the genre, mimicking the bizarre dubbing, mocking the expressions, and exaggerating the drama, as well as introducing lots of truly off-the-wall silliness. As Oedekerk's character, The Chosen One, searches for the evil man who killed his family, the film throws in such left-field craziness as a kung fu cow, a one breasted woman, wood chuck nunchuks, and French aliens, along with lots of silly throwaway dialogue. Although much of this zany stuff falls embarrassingly flat on its ass, and the basic idea eventually runs out of steam, there are just enough moments of truly inspired lunacy to make it all worth a watch.

Death-2-trolls I got sucker into going to see this movie in the big screen. Wasn't that bad of a movie, but certainly wasn't worth the eight bucks I paid to go see and not be able to pause or forward. When the movie hit DVD, I managed to see it first hand and here is the review of the movie.First off, the storyline is the typical Chosen one whose family is killed and he gets revenge. Of course nothing wrong with that setting but the presentation of the movie was bland and colorless.Graphically, since the movie is using Crane and Tiger Fist as its movie, I must praise that the producer Steve managed to bring this old movie into the DVD colors and now begging to see the original movie in in clear crisp color and sound.Now here is the problem with the movie, there is just way too many sexual jokes, testicle talks, and some scenes that was just so stupid the comedy fell flat. And this is also the strength of the movie because the producer purposely made the movie stupid and silly which some people can laugh at it, while others just look and give the WTF face.Kung Pow is one of those movies that you probably won't watch unless you got friends who just want to have belly laughs and get drunk. This isn't a movie where boyfriend/girlfriend could really watch unless they want to also get some cheap laughs, but then there is another movie called Kung Fu Hustle that has the same slapstick comedy, but is a lot better then this turkey.Other then that, either buy it cheap on Amazon or rent it, don't know if you like to have this movie in your collection.

puttputtk Kung Pow (2002)5 word summaryChosen one battles against evilKung Pow is truly one of the dumbest and most ridiculous film ever made, it also is one of my personal favorite comedies ever made. After watching the previews back in 02 I thought this movie looked stupid, I had no interest in seeing it. The main focus of the trailer is the battle against the cow and that looked stupid. Most of my friends at the time thought it looked hilarious. One day, while home sick, I decided to watch it against my better judgment. And what happened? I laughed my ass off. The comedy in it is really, really stupid and yet genius at the same time. one of those things that prove there's a thin line between genius and insanity. Right when you figure out the humor they toss in something you didn't expect that is just so random and hilarious that takes the film to another level. For instance, the opening scene. We see a baby fighting a man. He flips all over, pees on him, and soon the man gets frustrated and burns down the house. The baby flies out the window and falls down a hill. At this point you think you know the humor. Alright its immature dumb humor but it seems like it will be OK. Then we see what the film really is like. The baby lands on a path going through the hill. A woman picks him up and holds him swaying and mentioning how cute he is. She turns and walks to the hill and throws him off saying "bye bye" and the baby continues to fall. So random and yet it's a remarkably genius addition to the scene. A scene that most films would have stopped 2 minutes earlier. It's the first clue that this will not be your average comedy. Kung Pow has so many great lines. Along with Anchorman and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it is one of my favorite movies to quote.My main problem with the film is the same reason I didn't originally want to see it. The fight with the cow. I do and always have skipped that scene, it goes on to long, it doesn't look good, and it's just not funny. But for some reason that's what the film is remembered for, and that's a shame.Other than that I haven't much else to say. The film is definitely not for everyone and I don't get mad when someone I talk to didn't like it or the not so high ratings it gets. I understand it's a dumb film but I do truly believe it is fantastic. If you're willing and open to it maybe you will see it for the genius it is.8/10

mergatroid-1 The first time I saw this movie I was sort of stunned. It didn't really sink in while I was watching it. Sure, I laughed here and there but overall I wouldn't give it a very good score. However, I do know that over the years there have been a few comedies that I didn't find funny the first time I saw them. I remember seeing The Life of Brian in the theater and I was not impressed. A few years later my friends and I saw it again in a 2nd run theater and I laughed my a$$ off.This movie is something like that. I have watched it three of four times, each time finding it funnier than the last. I just read a review someone wrote about the girl love interest, and how she's constantly saying "wee ooh wee yea wee oh oh wee" or something like that. Just reading that brought tears to my eyes and made me start laughing again. I have decided to watch this movie again tonight. Lucky for me I own it as part of my video collection. I can't wait to see it again tonight.If you get a chance to see this movie, and you love stupid comedies, please see it. If you REALLY love stupid movies you might want to bring a change of underwear with you.
