Advantages: Incredibly Funny and Silly, Clips are put together well, Great Characters Disadvantages: Plot is Absurd, Some bad CGI
Kung Pow isn’t your normal movie, it takes a gamble for a different way to do a film, and wins. Kung pow is a Comedy film Directed by and Starring Steve Oedekerk.
The film opens with an unknown man killing a family and then moving onto the baby, they are scared of the baby and name it the chosen one. One man stays and fights the baby which is extremely skilled in Kung Fu. The baby escapes and grows up to become a man known only as the chosen one ... ...Cow and french aliens.
Kung pow is a film that is made using the footage from other films and dubs over them with very silly voices. even though it does have footage of it’s own, the dubbed parts are the best (even though even the films own footage is dubbed aswell). The characters are all funny and memorable, Oedekerk has done a great job of giving every single person in the film a great voice and dialogue. One scene includes a man who looks as ...

Advantages: Top class entertainment, something pretty original Disadvantages: Novelty value not to everyones taste, review wont make sense to most people whoa rent filled in on pablos back story, which'll be about ninety percent then
...its a dvd called Kung Pow: Enter the fist
Monkey: Sounds cool, tell me a bit about it
Tiny: well normally its the big one who reviews stuff but i'll give it a try
Monkey: go go buffalo!
Tiny:
Kung Pow is directed and starred by Steve Oedekerk who directed ace ventura 2 and the nutty professor. I say he directed this film but it is in fact an amalgamation of a bizarre 70's martial arts movie and new scenes inserted by Oedekerk
Monkey: sounds ... ...funny, basically he has redubbed it to follow the story of the chosen one (oedekerk) who as a child is orphaned by master pain, ther infant chosen one escapes by fighting off his attackers and rolling down a steep hill (really funny). The chosen one is raised by various rodents before embarkng on a quest to avenge his parents death. and thats basically the story but thats not what matters. What matters is the sheer genius of this movie within a movie. ...

Advantages: Original and oh so funny Disadvantages: You will either love it or hate it
...much like most of the kung fu films that I have seen over the years. With a small exception. He has taken footage from a 1976, Hong Kong, kung fu film called Hu He Shuang Xing (Tiger and Crane fists) and inserted both himself and new scenes into the film. As well as all new dialogue (out of sinc of course) to create a wonderfully hysterical spin on the martial arts flick.
Although the film is only 78 minutes long. Including the end credits. It must ... ...are some outtakes that will had me crying with laughter.
Ok now for the hard part. I will now try to give you a taster of what the film is like without ruining it for you.
The first scene is the chosen one in his families hut. The evil Master Pain (who for some reason likes to be called betty) arrives with his henchmen and kills the family. As he trys to stab the baby, that is the chosen one. The child not only stops the dagger but then pops out ...

Advantages: Funny Film-Good For A Rainy Day Disadvantages: Not to all tastes-some people may be offended
...while back with music from kung pow.......good film.
it was nly 3 pounds so i thought what the hell looks funny enough.
so i got it home and stuck it straight in my video player.At first glances i thought 'meh looks kinda samey and not very funny tbh'
but the the chosen one loses his family to the evil 'betty'
as he rolls down a hill and the lowly woman picks him up,i began to chuckle and then(i wont spoil it) i buurst out into tears of laughter.
... ...to stop it because i was scared id wet myself i was laughing.
The main actor/director look sout of place in this oriental backdrop but with clever dubbing he fits in perfectly
The most memorable part of this classic is when our hero fights the animated cow in the field and finally at the end when the evil council are revealed.
i would recommend this film to anyone who looks comedy and martial arts.
^_^ Regards ...
