Summary: Truly an Awesome Experience
Review: I first saw my friend's copy of "Shaolin Soccer" a year ago. I was forced to give it back to him, so I bought my own DVD of the movie. This movie is pretty incredible. While the movie had very outstanding special effects, Stephen Chow's acting and the ensemble he worked with were both hilarious and delightful. Stephen Chow is definitely the Jim Carrey of China. And the soundtrack, I have to say it was very superb. Definitely complements the movie. I'm very glad that they're bringing this movie to theaters stateside (even if it is edited). Definitely warrants watching many times. I judge all other Far East Asian films to "Shaolin Soccer", and I have yet found one that exceeds this movie. Can't express how much this movie never gets old.

Summary: Wow, just wow
Review: I very rarely (if ever) review movies. So why start now? Sometimes good things go unnoticed due to them being strange or not promoted right. Shaolin Soccer definitely falls into those categories. Movie is old by industry standards since it was made in 2001. It was recognized and wildly played in Asia and Europe but got none of the publicity in North America. Just like the title suggests Shaolin masters of Kung Fu are playing soccer. It's not another non stop Jackie Chan fighting movies. It has a decent plot; it has a fight between good and evil, greed and humbleness, lies and honesty. It teaches about friendship, being loyal, dedication and positive look on life regardless of the circumstances. And of course the special effects: amazing stunts and Matrix like action make it stand out from other Asian productions. Movie is well paced with no down time. Everything that happens, leads to more and more action. We have our share of baseball and football movies which all of them containing their dose of drama. Now it's time for a soccer movie. It's a bit of comedy mixed with action. Even if you've seen 1000 martial arts movies, even if you are sick and tired of sports genre flicks, see Shaolin Soccer. It is different and you will be glad you did.

Summary: Very Very Strange
Review: It is the weirdest movie I have every seen! It is in Chinese so you need the subtitles but it doesn't matter. The story revolves around a group of super heroes with various different powers (iron fist, iron leg etc.). They decide to create a soccer team and use there powers to help.
The soccer matches all decend in martial arts battles for seemingly no reason.
This film is such a laugh, it's great!

Summary: slapstick lives
Review: I know it hasn't opened here yet but I've had the priveledge to see it on dvd(import). It is very funny. The moves are so outrages you can't help laugh. The effects are good, but the absurdity of the kinetics is what makes it worthwhile. If you enjoy physical comedy or "slapstick" I'm sure you'll enjoy this movie.

Summary: Shaolin Soccer rules the universe!
Review: Holy Frickin' Kermit Jesus! This is the greatest movie ever! Stephen Chow uses comedy and clever digital effects to make the most outstanding soccer-movie, love-story, kung-fu-film of all time! Stop whatever you're doing and see this movie RIGHT NOW. Even if you hate soccer you'll love this flick. From the title theme to the closing credits, this film is so ingenious and well put-together that the moment it ends you'll feel the urge to watch it again.This may be the closest we've ever come to wearing-out an indestructable DVD. Prepare to buy another DVD player because you'll burn out the old one watching this over and over. vastly entertaining and with a hilarious ending, this film is worth every cent spent making it, and every cent buying it!

Summary: Stephen Chow The King of Comedy
Review: Terrific! I saw this movie 2 times and I really think is a GREAT movie... you have a lot of fun but also some dramatic moment... well, drama is in Stephen's way, so you can imagine... To really appreciate this movie you have to watch it in chinese; anyway, you can't watch a Stephen Chow's film in any other language or you will miss the best! The movie is also filled with cool special effects... totally worth the money! And no wonder that for this movie Stephen won for Best Director, Best Actor and Outstanding Young Director at the 21st Annual Hong Kong Film Awards. Stephen Chow is so hot!

Summary: Stephen Chow - Comedy God
Review: First I own all of Stephens work and this is his most mainstream film yet, I'm not suprised it got a release in the states. If you read the preview then you'll know the story is pretty simple but around this is good comedy, characters and special FX.
All the performances from the actors are great espeically the bruce lee like mannorisms from the goalkeeper and Chows regular supporting cast member "Ng Man Tat" as golden leg. The football matches may seem unrealistic but this is cinema, this is kung fu with Football ! Suspend belief and enjoy it for what it is, entertaining and funny, the final match between good vs evil will leave you feeling that you watched something special and something you'll want to watch again.
I dont know how the US version got dubbed, but or subtitled but hopefully it wasnt too bad !
highly recommended.

Summary: One of Stephen's best movies
Review: Shaolin Soccer is an extremely funny movie. The story is pefectly combination between Shaolin Kung Fu and Soccer. You can get almost every mood from this movie, it's not only comedy but it could be action and drama in the same one. Shaolin team are funny with outstanding characters each one of them. I'm not sure how US version is going to be but I really loved original version which I have own DVD as well. Stephen did a very good job as a leading actor, director, and screenwriter. I'm highly recommend this movie if you are looking for funny movie, you also will get to know a new Kung Fu action comedian, Stephen Chow. I'm pretty sure that you will like this movie even though you don't like Stephen Chow.
