Rating: Summary: Takes the title for stupid. Review: Kung pow is a reasonably funny film but then again it's one you cant take too seriously as if you buy this film excpecting a more serious comedy than a more ridiculous comedy then you are not going to like it or find it funny at all, the reason for this is kung pow is probably one of the most stupid films (in a strangly good way) out there today along with several low budjet spoofs etc, the genre of this is action, comedy, as it's genrally mocking all the kung foo movies you see with the fight sequances and high kicks etc... (you get the picture). The main funny part in my opinion was the women that always went 'weow, weow, weow, weow' when she cried as she sounded like my cat, yes thats the kind of movie your dealing with and the mouth on the tongue, not bad really, i would advise this for rental only though as it's not worth spending around 20£ on (im not sure what that is in dollars), anyway this film is definatley not the most surreal or bizarre or even funniest movies ive seen but it's definatley the most dumb so if you feel like dumbing down for the night then get a few beers with some mates and watch Kung pow.

Rating: Summary: "That's ,like, his stomach plug, on the ground back there." Review: KUNG POW:ENTER THE FIST has got to be one of, if not, THE STUPIDEST MOVIE EVER MADE. STEVE ODEKERK FIGHTING A COW!?......AND MATRIX-STYLE AT THAT!? IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STUPID, BUT JESUS CHRIST, IT'S ALSO HILARIOUS. I have been waiting for a martial arts mockery for a good, long while. I was very let down by SCARY MOVIE, maybe because the horror genre at his point has really run out of gas, and gotten repetitive, and more funny than scary. It's so cliched that you can just line up all the characters (if you CAN call them characters) in the movie, and just randomly predict who's going to live and who going to die, and it always happens that way. Of course, that pretty much what horror movies have become now. Just plucking off expendable cardboard cut-outs one-by-one. Less like a movie, more like target practice for serial killers. ENTER THE FIST, by contrast, may actually be the first martial arts parody. Oh, I promise you, the movie is just as dumb as SCARY MOVIE, the characters just as one-dimensional, and the acting just as wooden. But, the dialouge, while highly simple and stupid, is pretty funny. The movie is full of lines like "There will be a Chosen One", "It will be significant", and "I like the band N'sync. My favorite member is Harpo. I think there is a Harpo. If not, there should be." And they just had could let any joke about sloppy, ...poor dubbing be overlooked. There's a dog in ENTER THE FIST that moves his mouth, and then three seconds later, the bark comes out. And the voices of the characters are laugh-inducing. Just go out and by this dvd now. Be sure to take plenty of time to check out hte "What were they really saying track".
Rating: Summary: Funnier If... Review: First of all, this is, in my opinion, one of the greatest movies of all time (up there with Monty Python and the Holy Grail and anything by Adam Sandler). Second, if your looking for something even funnier on the DVD, go to the Alternate Audio tracks. First of all, the commentary is hilarious , but the "What Are They Really Saying?" track is almost better than the movie (use with English subtitles to understand both things), but you miss out on all the characters like Master Pain, aka "Betty", and Wimp Lo. Watch it, it's funny.
Rating: Summary: The uptight and pretentious need not apply. Review: I'll start by saying that if you take your martial arts B-movies seriously or have highbrow expectations for your comedy, your annoying pretentiousness alone will seal Kung Pow's fate for you. For the rest of us laypeople who can enjoy a good spoof at face value, Kung Pow is a highly entertaining movie that is more appreciable as you think of the processes that went behind it. Using both new footage and clips taken from a 1970s martial arts movie called "Tiger and Crane Fists," Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is re-edited to tell the story of the Chosen One (Steve Oedekerk, who also wrote, directed, and basically was in charge of everything related to this movie), who grows up to become a great kung fu master whose greatest challenge is defeating the mighty Master Pain, who sends out mixed messages by demanding to be called Betty by his boot-licking disciples. Throughout the movie, Oedekerk's face - through the magic of some occasionally off-the-mark computer integration - constantly replaces the old protagonist's mug in his epic struggle to avenge the death of his parents by destroying Master Betty once and for all. This is by no means Oscar-caliber fare, but the movie scores laughs by perfectly recreating the bad dubbing, poor lighting, and unintentionally humorous dialogue that make these types of obsolete flicks good old-fashioned cheesy fun. It is true, though, that the Greek philosopher Aristotle taught that everything is good in moderation, so Kung Pow gets brought down a few stars for its penchant for driving the worst of its jokes into the ground while only using the good ones sparingly and for copping out with a lazy and incredibly ludicrous ending. However, the average score does not mean that you should avoid it; in fact, it comes with my highest recommendations for anyone with a loose sense of humor. If your late-night movie stash consists of more than a few old karate flicks, you should be able to appreciate the thought that went into the parody that is Kung Pow. If a cow that shoots milk torpedoes out of its utters and nunchukas made of gophers don't deter you, then nothing will stop you from liking this movie.
Rating: Summary: I'm a man too, you know...I go pee-pee standing up! Review: To describe Steve Oedekerk as a brilliant comedic genius would be a gross understatement. This is without a doubt the most hilarious film I have seen in my entire life!! I could not sit through this movie without laughing out loud incessantly, so much so that I was bawling out in pain afterwards from the continuous laughter. Thank God for Steve Oedekerk. Enough said.
Rating: Summary: Halarious! Review: I have seen this movie thousands of times. It gets funnier and funnier until it's over. The only people who don't like this movie are people who like funny, not stupid funny. This movie is really stupid, but in a good way. The scenes are so stupid its funny.
Rating: Summary: This movie is terrific Review: This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. It's an original movie that gets funnier every time you see it. It's exactly like The Big Lebowski, only completely different. :) Buy it!
Rating: Summary: THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS! Review: First let me say that I generally do not like moronic movies. This movie was the absolutely most moronic movie I have ever seen. I spent the first 15 minutes or so telling my husband how much he owed me for making me sit through it. Then I started laughing. And laughing. Then we rented it again, so the kids could see it. That was several weeks ago, and we're all still quoting the movie several times a day. It just won't go away! Just sitting here writing this, there are several scenes going through my head. Actually, I came to Amazon today to buy this movie for my husband for father's day. I must be crazy! Now I'll never hear the end of it!
Rating: Summary: I Love It!!! Review: This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It dosen't make much sense but it is great! My one friend said he hated it and it was the worst movie ever, but my other friend agrees with me that it's the best movie ever. So I guess you kinda love it or you hate it. But if you're smart, you'll love it. I highly reccomend this movie.
