shaolin soccer is base level kiddie crap. kung pow is higher brow, plebeians like it for the wrong reasons but that doesn't take away from how smart it is.
at community college and the ginger kid gives me this, what about bob and monty python's jabberwocky and avalon (2001). I loathe each film more than the last but don't have the heart to tell him.
I love it. My brother and i used to rewatched it all the time, along with kung fu hustle, lotr, godzilla, and typical action movies of the time. Feels like precursor to ytps of early 10s. There’s some things that are out of date and problematic to today’s age (which are basically the fighting baby scene and the cow fighting scene) but i found them to be mostly charming than anything. And i hope Odenkirk’s new thumb wars movie does well. Love his stuff
It has its moments but it grows stale fast. It's not a very long movie but if they shaved like 30 mins off, it would be better. The technical side was impressive for the time and it brought a fondness for gag comedy like Airplane and Top Secret that seemed even at the time to be a dead form of cinema. Was refreshing.
I have a uncle that's has a PHD and multiple other degrees.
Was a leader on cancer research back in the 80s.
He loves Kung Pow.
Watching someone with a 150iq+ laugh that hard is always an amazing sight.
Best comedy ever made.
People always have this idea that comedy needs to be "smart", but there's an elegance to the stupidity in this film. There's a lot of people who just wouldn't get anything out of a delayed audio on a bark, and I'm fine with that acting as a form of organic gatekeeping.
i definitely dont understand how all these guys can call it one of the best comedies ever made but then draw the line at the cow, its just barely dumber than the rest of the movie
loved it and Kung Fu Hustle as a kid, watched both again as an adult and Hustle was equally as amazing as I remember but I found some of the humor in Pow less funny and some much funnier than I used to but ultimately it felt like it was mostly just a must see wacko type movie and I was happy to share it with a friend who hadn't seen it
saw it in the theater with a friend. mom walked out in two minutes because she couldn't stand the dubbing-subtitle joke that lasts the entire movie
loved it. that friend never got over the "my nipples look like milkduds" lines for some reason.

Between Zach dealing with Adult Swim's moronic corporate department and having to try to have a good time on Oney Plays I doubt he would ever want to do something like that
it doesn't need a sequel. let it be remembered as great, instead of being turned into a shambling corpse like all the other franchise IP(TM)(R)(C) these days
eternally one of my favorites, a top tier shitpost in film form
since it's been so long it got kinda lost that it's taking the piss out of George Lucas, especially for what he did with the Special Editions. not that that's super important but maybe it'll unlock even more enjoyment
I'd rather just watch an actual kung fu movie instead of a lame piss-take.
There are dozens of actual proper kung-fu comedy movies if you want to laugh and watch people get kicked in the head.
Typical aughts cult comedy that's enjoyable enough but has an insufferable fanbase, like Bubba Hotep, kung fu Hustle, etc.
Pretty much everything about Kung Pow works except for the ending drags a bit and the cow scene.
Shaolin Soccer is five times the film Kung Fu Hustle is.

Nah you're a pretentious frick and the best version of what Kung Pow is is the Drunken Master not a sequel.
You know the rules and so do I
The cow/matrix scene keeps it from being a 10/10
more like makes it a 10/10
This. Everything else is 10/10, the cow scene is the only hiccup.
Tried to watch it. Got filtered by the cow scene and turned it off. The tongue voice and girl voice was also really grating
I actually rewatched this a couple weeks ago and it's actually still really funny
>THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS
THAT WILL BE FOUR BUCKS BABY!

I enjoyed it much more as an adult than as a teenager. Fun movie.
I love this movie, I don't care that it is dumb. It is a fun kind of dumb.
The book on tape alternate soundtrack is kino.

This is a real hidden gem
Indeed.

I always close it as soon as the cow scene begins

I IMPLORE YOU TO RECONSIDER!
one of those bell curve movies with the high and low iq people agreeing its funny
my nipples look like milk duds
excellent except for the CGI cow
Highly quotable movie. It's stupid fun and still holds up.
THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS
It’s my favorite comedy of all time and I watch it at least once a year
One of my absolute favorites 10/10
Best comedy ever made.

That scene and the scene where the dude is saying a ton of lines but the dub is just "I dunno" get me every time
Yeah. "I implore you to reconsider" as he frantically grabs the chick is another one.
THIS IS CNN
C...N.....N
Many people were making the joke and then they actually put it in this movie. Imagine the surprise.
Stream that movie, if you're so great.

Did they really want to make a sequel or was that ending just a gag?
I HOPE THEY HAVE ICEES!
Fricking love it and it's unironically in my top 10 movies. The only part I can say is bad is the cow
>The only part I can say is bad is the cow
this
I didn't like it when I first watched it but it grew on me.
Also, stream that movie, if you're so great.
>plebs getting filtered by the cow
That entire scene was kino, it's not up for debate
the cow sucks
Your mom is a cow and she sucks my dick
i definitely dont understand how all these guys can call it one of the best comedies ever made but then draw the line at the cow, its just barely dumber than the rest of the movie
It's one of the few dated jokes. Everybody is still tired of le matrix references a quarter century later.
it's a 5/10 sober but 11/10 drunk

It's fricking moroneed like all of it's fans
>it is fans
I saw it in theatres for my 13th birthday with a bunch of friends. Great time.
Most jokes are riffing on moviemaking tropes so the comedy holds up.
It's an 8/10, but the FRICKING cow scene bumps it up to a 10/10.
It's the professional version of muting the tv and improvving the dialog with a friend, which is always the funniest possible way to watch tv
>we have purposefully trained him wrong, as a joke
There are gems in this movie

my honest reaction?
sequel never...
lets put together a team and get zach hadel to do it. doesn't need to be a sequel but him as lead would be fricking dope.
Between Zach dealing with Adult Swim's moronic corporate department and having to try to have a good time on Oney Plays I doubt he would ever want to do something like that
maybe but i think he'd be good for it.
it doesn't need a sequel. let it be remembered as great, instead of being turned into a shambling corpse like all the other franchise IP(TM)(R)(C) these days
i think the concept could be done again. spaghetti westerns would be worth exploring

Pure Kinography
It's bad but I love it regardless and apologize for nothing.
I'd rather just watch an actual kung fu movie instead of a lame piss-take.
