Kung Pow

Decent B-movie. Quite a funny classic and a parody of kung-fu films. Sometimes it's so over the top and outrageous that it's hilarious (the fight with the cow and the toddler is awesome). It used to work better back in the day, but if you like Shaolin Soccer, Kung-Fu Hustle, and similar comedy style, you can easily put this in between them. 5/10. (12/05/2021)

The only actually funny thing here is the closing “trailer" for the sequel. It’s quite an interesting idea to make a parody of old kung fu movies and over-dubbing the originals, but unfortunately the result is very disappointing. It all remains on a level of farts and toilet humor in general. Although you can tell from the movie that Oedekerk is a fan, he could have had a little better judgement and cast somebody else in the main role. He is the biggest negative of the movie. Him and the fatal mistake (in a parody) that apart from a couple of lighter moments, he isn’t funny, but embarrassing. (14/03/2005)

I regret everyone who saw this parodic masterpiece dubbed. At least half of the gags are based on the vocal performance of Oedekerk and others. I never thought that this craziness would make such an impression on me or that some of its quotes would become my personal cult. During my high school years, few things made me smile as broadly as this. (05/02/2006)
