Summary: It is so funny
Review: I'm 11 and I still loved the movie. It was so funny. Every 5 seconds you (and the rest of the audience) were laughing histerically. Except for the first couple minutes. The beginning wasn't that funny but the rest was very funny. ...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Don't believe everything you hear or read...
Review: Kung Pow: Enter The Fist is FUNNY. It's funny for those who have seen one too many cheesy chop suey kung fu flicks. I would also say it's funny in a kind of MST3K way as well.

Steve Oedekerk takes an old hong kong action flick and inserts himself as the main character/hero. He makes fun of the extended grunts/growls characters make, the dubbed translations from Chinese to English, the fact that sometimes the wrong American voices are used to dub certain characters and the typical spoofs of films such as Crouching Tiger and the Matrix. The funniest scenes are towards the beginning when they make fun of voice overdubbing. My favorite scene is when they make fun of standoffs...you know when the hero is all alone and facing down a large gang led by the main villain and all they do is make faces at each other and funny sounds when they should just start fighting (you need to see it to understand what I mean). Nothing beats that kind of spoofing...

As the film progresses I take away one star for overkill. At times, it seems Oedekerk is overdoing and reaching for laughs. It isn't until after the lame cow sequence that things start to get funny again (keep an eye out for respected hip hop journalist/hong kong movie fan Nasty Nes in what can be described as Betty's DJ, he just shows up here and there and it's actually funny).

I have to say that I was in a theater where a lot of people were going...huh? to a lot of the rapid fire gags and one-liners. But there were a few times where the whole place just couldn't stop laughing. Yes, it is a dumb comedy in the tradition of Airplane and Top Secret. Sure it has as many duds as it has laughs, but I will take the funny laughs over the duds anyday.

This movie IS NOT recommended for those that like cerebral humor. This is a movie for those who laughed hard at Airplane, Top Secret and even the Farrelly Bros movies. Yes, it is dumb but it is dumb fun nonetheless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HILARIOUS!!
Review: I saw this movie in theatres & found it hilarious. As for those who didn't like it because it was stupid--well, it's SUPPOSED to be stupid! That was the whole point! Badly dubbed dialogue, Kung Fu fighters who didn't know how to fight, a one-breasted woman named "Whoa", & a bad guy named Master "Betty" Pain. You can't get any better than this! The humor was juvenile, but its perfect for those who love to make fun of all the Bruce Lee rip offs made during the 1970s. oo-WEEE-oo WEEE-oo WEEE-oo!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What most people don't realize...
Review: This film was actually created using old footage from a previously unreleased chinese karate movie! The director (and star of the movie) Steve Oedekerk goofed with the original footage to create Kung Pow. Watch the film with this in mind and you can really appreciate the humor! The way he manipulated the original story and scenes into a slapstick comedy is either genius or insane...Either way, it works!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hm..... Momento....
Review: This is by far one of the funniest movies ever made. Sure a lot of critics panned it but a lot of really great cult movies start out that way and this would be one of them. Just the idea in general had me laughing. The movie merges clips from an old Chinese Kung Fu movie "Tiger & Crane Fists (??)" and redubs and inserts a new character "the chosen one". It's hilarious from beginning to end especially in the redubbed scenes. I won't say much more cuz this movie defies description. Just watch it! you will love it! LONG LIVE BETTY!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a great film
Review: Though the reviews were bad, I saw this movie three times and loved it each time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Kung Pow this!
Review: When I went to go see this movie, I was expecting a lame flick with minimal humor... which, to say the least was not what I got! Kung Pow is one of the most hilarious movies I've ever seen, though it's not quite the humor I was used to. It's basically a slap-stick film with parts that made me laugh like I've never laughed before. The rolling down the hill scene cracked me up! The plot in this movie is pretty weak, but what did you expect? This movie is totally off the hook and I highly recomend it to EVERYONE!!!!! (Whee-oh-whee-oh!)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Spoofs a Genre Readily Spoofable
Review: Sometimes a movie's best charm is in perfectly hitting upon a certain relaxed pace that lets a viewer just flow with its light screwball comedy. This movie did that for me. Sometimes specific episodes seemed like they'd be tedious or boring in some movies, but this movie set its mood so precisely that they were welcome here. A movie like CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON, with its dead-serious tone demanding a creedence that was certainly stretched by scenes seeming to defy gravity and other things, invites having minor fun poked at it by a spoof like this. As such this movie is timely, and that perhaps increases its charm. Should someone call this film stupid, that would be hard to refute, but if stupid, it's delightfully stupid. Maybe its success is due to being perfectly attuned in what it demands from its audience. I've seen movies that were stupid but begged to be taken seriously, and watching them can range from embarrasing to insufferable. But KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST begs only to be taken for precisely the farcical diversion that it is.
