Kung Pow: Enter the Fist Trailers

A movie within a movie, created to spoof the martial arts genre. Writer/director Steve Oedekerk uses contemporary characters and splices them into a 1970s kung-fu film, weaving the new and old together. As the main character, The Chosen One, Oedekerk sets off to avenge the deaths of his parents at the hands of kung-fu legend Master Pain. Along the way he encounters some strange characters.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Kung Pow (2002) is a haunting, chilling cinematic masterpiece. I weep for the beauty of every frame. Every dumb joke that leaves the mouths of these genius actors makes me feel laser beams of joy erupt through my body. I am constantly amazed by this movie, it was better than any I've seen yet. To be honest, I am wholeheartedly shocked that it was not nominated in every Oscar category for every year that movie's have been being made ever. It is the greatest movie ever to be written, filmed, and released for public consumption. Amazing. 11/10.

Let me go ahead and set your ways straight here.This movie is absolutely hilarious. From start to finish. Oedekirk's timing is beyond ridiculous. And just when you think he's about to bomb a joke, some guy kills a dog with a massive fart. Good grief.Honestly this movie has me dying... like.. absolutely dying of laughter every single time I watch it. It is a bombshell from start to finish. Try not to throw up, you will laugh that hard.

As anyone who has been exposed to the crazy cinematic world of Godfrey Ho can attest, cutting up an old kung fu flick and re-editing it with original footage can prove to be very funny indeed. I'm not saying that Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, a deliberately daft martial arts mash-up directed by and starring Steve Oederkerk, is quite as hilarious as, say, the unintentionally side-splitting nonsense that is Ninja Terminator (my favourite Godfrey Ho 'classic'), but for avid fans of 70s chop socky, or of randomly absurd comedy in general, it should provide a reasonable amount of giggles.Digitally inserting himself into the old school kung fu classic Tiger & Crane Fists, Oedekerk lovingly parodies the genre, mimicking the bizarre dubbing, mocking the expressions, and exaggerating the drama, as well as introducing lots of truly off-the-wall silliness. As Oedekerk's character, The Chosen One, searches for the evil man who killed his family, the film throws in such left-field craziness as a kung fu cow, a one breasted woman, wood chuck nunchuks, and French aliens, along with lots of silly throwaway dialogue. Although much of this zany stuff falls embarrassingly flat on its ass, and the basic idea eventually runs out of steam, there are just enough moments of truly inspired lunacy to make it all worth a watch.

The first time I saw this movie I was sort of stunned. It didn't really sink in while I was watching it. Sure, I laughed here and there but overall I wouldn't give it a very good score. However, I do know that over the years there have been a few comedies that I didn't find funny the first time I saw them. I remember seeing The Life of Brian in the theater and I was not impressed. A few years later my friends and I saw it again in a 2nd run theater and I laughed my a$$ off.This movie is something like that. I have watched it three of four times, each time finding it funnier than the last. I just read a review someone wrote about the girl love interest, and how she's constantly saying "wee ooh wee yea wee oh oh wee" or something like that. Just reading that brought tears to my eyes and made me start laughing again. I have decided to watch this movie again tonight. Lucky for me I own it as part of my video collection. I can't wait to see it again tonight.If you get a chance to see this movie, and you love stupid comedies, please see it. If you REALLY love stupid movies you might want to bring a change of underwear with you.
