Director: Stephen Chow
Starring: Stephen Chow, Zhao Wei, Ng Man-tat, Patrick Tse

 

Who’s the hero? Sing, a man with a golden leg and a passionate belief that kung fu can improve your life.
What’s his style? It’s Stephen Chow, so cartoonish, superhuman speed and power added to excellent form.
Why’s he fighting? To reinvigorate his brothers and popularize kung fu to the entire world.

 

For what it aspires to be, Shaolin Soccer is a perfectly executed movie. Chow’s absurd, self-aware script connects solidly on nearly every joke, each as tight and unique as the next. Combined with its satisfyingly goofy special effects and surprisingly heartfelt romance, it’s a wonderful movie that isn’t like any other.
