Shaolin kung fu meets football, to make a rather funny film. Will a team of non-football players be able to use their kung fu to win a competition against a football team which has cheated their way to endless victories? What do you think?
A very amusing film, it's a pity that the Lovefilm version (which is available until 29th May) is dubbed, but even with bad dubbing into English I enjoyed it. -
If nobody has made this into a video game yet, that should change.

even though it was the miramax re-cut and dubbed version, the whole family had a blast watching this. not sure why it was rated PG-13, as the violence was so cartoony. need to see the original now.

Absolutely hilarious and stunning! This was my first Stephen Chow movie and it made me an instant fan.

Stephen Chow is so endearing. His movies make you laugh but they also give you the thrill of a Chinese kung fu movie.

KUNG FU HUSTLE is a better movie, but this one is much funnier. Be sure to watch the original version, not the heavily-edited US cut.

Considering I was underwhelmed by Kung Fu Hustle and don't like football; I wasn't really expecting much from this. But I had a good time it was enjoyable fun.
