Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
A shamelessly low-brow parody, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is a scrambling of footage from the 1975 Hong Kong martial arts epic Tiger & Crane Fist with new material shot by director Steve Oedekerk (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) in which he doubles for original star Jimmy Wang Yu.

Following the style set by Woody Allen in What's Up Tiger Lily?, Oedekerk also dubs all the voices, rendering the basic revenge story even more formulaic and ridiculous. The villain turns out to be working for flying saucers manned by French aliens (!) and the Chosen One hero has an odd habit of using animals as weapons (gopher nunchakas, squirrel padding) and, in the stand-out scene, doing a full-on Matrix/Crouching Tiger battle with an extremely agile killer cow.

A lot of the film is just dumb, but it still manages to beat laughs out of you with its relentless goofiness. Though it might seem an ego trip for Oedekerk, he is actually a likeable leading man, pulling funny faces and deliberately dubbing even his own voice badly.

On the DVD: Kung Pow: Enter the Fist on disc includes an animated draft of the kung fu cow scene, with special effects elements shown pre-mixing. There are also several deleted sequences and a director's cut of one extended fight scene. --Kim Newman

5.0 out of 5 stars Stupid and Oh So FUNNY, 17 Aug 2005
By D. Mccutcheon "jebus2003" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Kung Pow - Enter the Fist [2002] [DVD] (DVD)
The first time I watched Kung Pow, I had to stop the film 6 times in the first 17 minutes, not because of any fault with the DVD, but because my face was hurting so much from laughing, and I`m not kidding, as dumb comedies go, this is up there with the best of them, you won`t regret buying this, if you do, you`ve no sense of humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bizarre, stupid and the funniest thing I've seen for years!, 10 Nov 2003
By Ian Tapley "thefragrantwookiee" - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Kung Pow - Enter the Fist [2002] [DVD] (DVD)
THE STORY:
The Chosen One must fight evil Master Pain (aka Betty) in order to have revenge on the Evil Council for the murder of his family. On his journey he meets many weird characters; a perverted martial arts master, a 'sadistic psycho bitch', a kung-fu cow and a chick with one boob, among others.

WHAT'S GOOD:
Every genre has it's spoof. Detective films have 'The Naked Gun', sci-fi has 'Spaceballs', action flicks have 'Hotshots' and now b-movie martial arts pics have 'Kung-Pow'. It's funny moments are too many to repeat here but some choice ones are the scene with the gopher-chuks, Betty kicking ass to the sound of MC Hammer and Wimp Lo's assertion that "I'm bleeding, so that means I win" and it's all done with the really bad dubbing that makes Hong Kong movies great. You'll find yourself falling in love with Tonguey and I defy anyone not to splutter out their drink when they here the cry "That's a lot of nuts!" Plus, the DVD has the strangest and funniest extra ever; a panicked thumb (I won't even try to explain). Finally, any DVD that's title screen tells you that you're very attractive has got to be worth buying.

WHAT'S BAD:
This movie isn't big and it isn't clever, it's only worthwhile to people who are prepared to put aside their intellect for a while and just wet themselves laughing. Also, the narrator can be a bit annoying, but I don't care.

"Thank you Ling, you've helped me reach the next level.

5.0 out of 5 stars OOOH MY GOD!, 1 Dec 2002
This review is from: Kung Pow - Enter the Fist [2002] [DVD] (DVD)
This has got to be the funniest film of all time, if you disagree you obviously don't have a sense of humour.

Oedekerk is definatly onto a winner with this.

According to the rumours, there is also a completly new audio track on this release, and if it is anything like the original it's gonna be great.

I can't wait for the sequel, kung pow 2: tounge of fury

Weee Oooo Weee!
