5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest, March 26, 2004

This review is from: Kung Pow! Enter the Fist (DVD)

Kung Pow is one of the most hilarious movies I have ever seen. I've seen it more than 15 times, and I still laugh out loud every time I see it. This movie uses footage from an old 1970's Kung Fu movie and splices it together with some new footage made specially for this movie. This mishmash is then dubbed with cheesy sounding voices. It's a completely nonsensical and silly movie. You won't be able to resist laughing. Perhaps the most famous scene in this movie is when the hero happens to find a cow and this cow jumps up and challenges him to a fight. There is even milk shooting out like the bullets in The Matrix. If you have a craving for a goofy movie, this is my top recommendation. If you don't like goofy movies, then avoid it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spoofs a Genre Readily Spoofable, April 25, 2002

By 

Jayne Ravencroft (Matthews, NC) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Martial Arts Film- Ever!, August 27, 2002

This review is from: Kung Pow! Enter the Fist (DVD)

I've watch hundreds, perhaps thousands of movies in my life. I only own one DVD though, and this is it. Don't let the previews or commercials fool you. They show some of the worst parts of the movie. Despite being a very stupid movie, it's also one of the most creative, original, and just plain funny movies ever made.

Half this movie is not original, but is taken directly from an old 1970s Hong Kong Film. What better way to spoof an old martial arts films then to actually use the film itself. Using modern technology, the main character, the Chosen One, is inserted into the old film, replacing the original main star. Then the whole movie is dubbed. Let me just say that those voices are the most hilarious voices ever. For anyone who has watched old Kung Fu films and made fun of them (especially the dubbing), or any fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000, this movie is great.

The characters are enjoyable, especially the dreaded enemy, Master Tang, or as he likes to be called, Betty, or Wimp Lo, a young fighter who was trained wrong as a joke.

The DVD extras are great. The cut scenes are funny, but the alternative audio tracks are hilarious. The commentary gives a glimpse of the comic genius that created this film. There is also the Book on Tape track, where only one British guy, in the an extremely proper accent, dubs the whole movie itself. Finally, there is the what they were really saying track, where the actors, in order to preserve the bad dubbing quality of the 70s films speak entirely different lines than what is actually dubbed. Pretty darn funny.

If you appreciate creativity, originality, and a funny, stupid movie, you have to check this DVD out.
