Summary: NEO--BOM'BOM'BOM'-SPORIN
Review: I rated this a 5 for laughter...It has become a source of lots of family fun. Lines like NEO--BOM'BOM'BOM'-SPORIN, or "From Now On I Shall Be Know As Betty", "That must hurt. Just around the bloody spot". No It isn't up for an accademy award, no it isn't making a grand statement and who cares. But, it will certainly help you forget about the woes of the world for a while.
When our 12 year old came home talking about Kung Pow, it seemed so ridiculous we had to rent it. The movie is one thing but then you can spend many more hours in the special features.
It is not only the movie, it is also a bit of a ciniemantic journey of the steps to create this masterpiece.
Rent it...By it...enjoy it.

Summary: Commercials misrepresent the movie
Review: Have you ever seen the commercials? It is like the spot light of all the bad things in this movie. But maybe it was a good idea, because if you come in with high expectations, it would be a major disappointment.Kung Pow was perhaps the funniest movie right up there with Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it is complete nonsense! You think that all the dubbing is horrible?? It's supposed to be that way! All the idiots that hate the movie make stupid comments, they don't get the big joke. It's supposed to be totally idiotic. Therein lies the comedy, the complete insanity of it. But I will say this, the baby scene and the cow fight where just embarrasing to watch. They are perhaps the worst parts of the movie. But otherwise all of the original stuff and the new stuff that Steve made is pure comedic genius! Many scenes HAD to be toned down in order to match the grainy texture of the original Tiger & Crane Fist movie. The DVD extras are amazing! There is a "What where they really saying" audio option in which you get to see what the actors where really saying before they got dubbed over (includes audio from Tiger & Crane Fist and the funny stuff the new cast said). There's even a "Lost Book on Tape" audio option, in which a English man says all the lines with hilarious results! There is so many DVD extras, it's a very good deal for only $14 (though I got mine for $10 at a Wal-Mart, MUCH better deal). The deleted scenes are awesome. This is perhaps the best spoof of kung-fu flicks just because of the pure insanity! The best part is, that many people didn't get the joke, and make fools of themselves when they comment on this movie and whine about the parts that were SUPPOSED to be bad and stupid. Please, rent this movie, and just shut your mind off.

Summary: Stupid beyond belief - I love it!
Review: Take one mid-70's Hong Kong marital arts flick, disassemble it, add a bunch of footage and digital effects, and this is what you get. A very bizarre spoof of martial arts films that absolutely skewers the genre yet celebrates it at the same time. The film is stupid, okay? If you don't laugh at incredibly stupid films, then don't watch this. This film is really the equivalent of several funny people sitting on a couch and cracking lots of jokes and non-sequiters. Nothing is sacred, nothing is off-limits. (I take that back - there is a profound lack of cussing in this film, the whole thing appears to be ready to show in prime-time tv.) The result is a lot of humor that really is only funny if you enjoy that kind of humor in the first place - it's not universal, nor is it thought-provoking. It's just funny. The DVD itself is very well done, lots of good features, high-quality all the way. The commentary is really fun to listen to, and the original dialogue feature is interesting.

Summary: So Horrible it's actually kinda funny
Review: This movie is best enjoyed after a few Budweisers on a late saturday night when you have absolutely nothing better to do. It's dumb that it actually is too funny sometimes.
In this Kung Fu movie spoof (it's actually played within an old movie) he fights amongst other things a cow and guy, done in Matrix Style. That tongue thing.... nasty.

Summary: an wonderful movie with beautiful martial arts style.
Review: The martial arts in this movie was absolutely stunning. In this film Steve Oedekerk demonstrates mind shattering kung fu skills that are executed with tremendous style and grace. His masterful moves rival that of Bruce Lee's.

Summary: A Funny, Silly, and Refreshingly Stupid Movie
Review: If you enjoy movies like "Airplane" or "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective", which is to say movies that are funny in large part because of how stupid they are, you will really enjoy "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist." His family killed as a child, the "Chosen One" (Steve Oedekerk) wanders in search of enlightenment and revenge against his nemesis, the evil Master Pain (who inexplicably changes his name to "Betty" early on). The movie usues some clever digital manipulation to insert Oedekerk into a 1970s martial arts film; the dialogue track of which is replaced with amusing commentary and ridiculous dialogue -- a sort of "Bruce Lee meets Mystery Science Theater 3000". Original footage, including a remarkable and absurd fight between the Chosen One and a cow ("milk shooting out of an udder in Matrix-like "bullet time" slow mo), and a confrontation with the aliens from the Evil Council (Evil Betty's masters) is mixed in in not-so-seamless fashion in order to heighten the story's absurdity. The movie is very funny -- the numerous little jokes and double takes will make you laugh out loud. It is well on its way to becoming a cult classic . . .

Summary: The audience was more funny than the movie was
Review: Ok, first of all i didnt even want to see this movie in the first place; my family made me see it; so i sat thru it neways. Then, as I was watching it, i said,"OMG!!!!!! dad!!! we spent our precious dollars on this?!!!!" Then some guy from the audience yells,"yeah, man, seriously yo' this movie sucks!"So, I thru my popcorn at the screen and said,"I'd rather sit thru some boring alien documentary than sit thru this." I don't even think it would make a good stoner movie. Now,that's when u know this movie is a bad movie.... when the stoners wont even watch it. The audience was definately better than the movie. I give the audience 5 stars *****. But the movie.........well,it reli should just get zero... for being so stupidly horrible. Ok, u tell me how the heck do u punch a hole thru. a cows stomach and the cow is still alive?!!!! Now, i know b/c its a movie but, c'mon now, that was just a bit much and not even stoner worthy. Not that i do ne of that. b/c i dont i kno poeple.

Summary: Still LMAO
Review: I first saw Kung Pow in a theater a couple of years ago and laughed 'til it hurt. This DVD version makes the transition to the small screen very well and I've enjoyed it many times since. Kung Pow's critics are correct in saying it's "stupid". But it's deliberately stupid...brilliantly stupid. Steve Oedekerk takes an old kung-fu potboiler and through computer imaging, inserts his image into the older movie, then dubs in voiceovers and narrative to create a comedy classic. Oedekerk stars as "The Chosen One"; a martial arts virtuoso out to avenge his parents deaths at the hands of "Evil Master Pain", aka "Betty". However, the standard plotline is merely the vehicle for a series of hilarious send ups, visual jokes and witticisms. Along the way we meet the despicably cruel "Betty", "Tonguey", Moon Yu (a kung-fu fighting cow), and a host of other zany characters. Oedekerk pours on the laughs and there probably isn't a ten second stretch in the movie without a joke of some kind. It surprises me greatly that there are people here who *really* disliked Kung Pow. How can anyone not get it? Fortunately, the naysayers are a minority, and hopefully Kung Pow II will be along soon.

Summary: Tedious and Tiring
Review: This is first time I have written a review for the deliberate purpose of giving a movie a one-star rating. Normally, I simply forget about the movie and move on to the next one. But this one really irked me because I had expected it to be so much better. The "dubbing" grows tired very quickly as a gag, as do the repetitive fight scenes that employ the "thousand meaningless blows" kung fu fighting style. Some of the sight gags and dialogue are a bit amusing in the beginning, but I found myself waiting and waiting for the real humor to begin. This type of concept is more deserving of a 10-minute SNL skit than it is of a 90-minute movie. It's sort of like eating a bowl of pudding. If it's for desert, then it can be a joy. But if you're served it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, then it very rapidly becomes something you want to walk away from. Unfortunately, since I rented it, I can't 'walk away' from the money I wasted to rent it.
