gleeful fusion of kung fu and a classicBad News
Bearssports story. A former soccer star--whose
"golden leg" was broken by a hired mob--assembles
a team of former students of Shaolin martial arts,
whose assorted skills (indicated by their
nicknames, like Mighty Steel Leg and Iron Head)
lend themselves to the swift interplay of the
world's most popular game. Along the way, the
team's leader (Hong Kong comic superstar Stephen
Chow) meets a sticky bun baker (Vicki Zhao) whose
kung fu is the equal of any of his
teammates.Shaolin Socceris supremely silly--in the
final match, their opponents are called Team
Evil--but that's part of the fun. American movies
rarely achieve this perfect balance of the absurd
and the sincere. A delight.--Bret Fetzer

Martial arts monks playing soccer!

Advantages: Hilarious total entertainment
Disadvantages: CGI a bit overused

Shaolin Soccer has finally reached these shores after becoming a massive success all throughout Asia back in 2001. Quite why it has taken so long to get here I don’t know but with the recent release of Hero, and the upcoming House of Flying Daggers, maybe the time is right for something other than horror and heroic fantasy to arrive from Asia. As far as I know this is the first out and out comedy to come from the major Asian film making countries ...
...overseas.

Shaolin Soccer is a blend of comedy, martial arts and the standard underdog rooting sports film (i.e. Dodgeball and Major League among many others). It stirs together these genres and makes a magical mix, producing a superb take on how the modern generation views gentle martial arts and how to interest them in the arts rather than the martial side.

The story follows Sing, known as Shaolin Steel Mighty Leg, ... more

Why all football players should be taught kung-fu

Advantages: Funny, great effects
Disadvantages: not enough features, some people don't like Chow's style of humour

There they come up against numerous weird and wacky teams, including the mysterious "Team Moustache" They beat all opponents and start to live the life of famous football players.

...featurette • Guide to the Shaolin moves! This film is quintessential Chow from start to finish. If you have watched any of his other films(Kung Fu Hustle, King of Beggars etc.) then you will know what to expect and you should definitely enjoy this film. If you have not yet seen any of his films then I would suggest watching Kung Fu Hustle as this will ease you more gently into the twisted martial arts comedy world of Stephen Chow. This is ...

I HATE FOOTBALL!!!

Advantages: Hilarious and heartwarming.
Disadvantages: Might not sit well with Hong Kong purists.

...They used to be unbeatable Shaolin masters, but when their teacher died and they went their separate ways, they lost the will to pursue their art and let modern society get the better of them. Sing's life changes forever when he meets Golden Leg (Man Tat Ng), a former soccer champ who lost his winning streak along with his magic striking leg when he threw a match many years ago. Golden Leg realises this intense young man's potential when he sees ...
...Each brother is given a Shaolin name that resonates with classic Hong Kong storytelling; Iron Head, Hooking Leg, Iron Shirt, Weight Vest, Mighty Leg etc… and their powers all stem from their individual talents. This is basically an excuse to display ludicrous, cheeky martial arts manoeuvres that blend surprisingly well into the game of football. It also throws some astonishingly good special effects for such a low budget film. Players defy gravity, ...

Soccering it to 'em

Advantages: Funny as hell, packed with action and added advantage of soccer
Disadvantages: dubbing is a bit poor, subtitiles aren't very good

This film is an absolute masterpiece. Stephen chow has been fast becoming a big name in the world of clever comical martial arts films and it's easy to see why. Stephen Chow also directs and produces a lot of his own films and does a very good job of making them unrealistically realistic. Shaolin Soccer is about a young man who grows up with several brothers all learning Shaolin kung fu. Whilst the rest of his brothers move away from Kung Fu and get real jobs Stephen Chow's character decides to try to find a marketable way to introduce Kung Fu to the world mixed within another past time such as singing and dancing. He eventually gets the idea to mix it with soccer and so the fun begins. I dont wanna go into what the film is about too much but it is a storyline that is a little predictable but keeps you interested none ...
