It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Let me go ahead and set your ways straight here.This movie is absolutely hilarious. From start to finish. Oedekirk's timing is beyond ridiculous. And just when you think he's about to bomb a joke, some guy kills a dog with a massive fart. Good grief.Honestly this movie has me dying... like.. absolutely dying of laughter every single time I watch it. It is a bombshell from start to finish. Try not to throw up, you will laugh that hard.

5.9?!? This hardly feels like a proper rating in my opinion, this movie was well made, and took as long as lord of the rings to make, I have NEVER in my entire life laughed as hard at a movie as I did this (with maybe the exception of Borat), This movie can be watched over and over again, with no more than 30 second having been passed without a joke being said. The reason the rating is so low is because 45% of users rated this movie as a "10/10", which actually get's rejected by this site, so if you agree, please vote this a 9, and write a review, this is easily my favorite movie of all time, sit down, open a bag of popcorn, and get ready for 2 hours of the funniest kung fu you've ever seen (then come back and rate this a 9).

In KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, director John Landis gave us one of the funniest kung fu movie parodies ever, FISTFUL OF YEN (a take off on ENTER THE DRAGON). While there have been a number of notable kung fu comedies in the intervening years (MY YOUNG AUNTIE, SHAOLIN BASEBALL, SHAOLIN SOCCER, KUNG FU HUSTLE, etc.), there haven't been a whole lot of parodies. Enter... KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST. Steve Oederkirk actually manages to pull off a GAME OF DEATH-type of digital extraction, excising none other than Wang Yu himself from his own movie. In the context of Oederkirk's context (contextually speaking), it works beautifully. Of particular interest are two deleted scenes that shouldn't've been deleted: in the first, The Chosen One (Oederkirk) is being given the Bush-Cheney-Rumsefeld (mis)treatment like a sit-in protester on Wall Street. We see here a spider-like woman crawling around on the floor and back into her cage. It's a creepy scene not unlike one often finds in kung fu movies of the era (the 1970s). The second deleted scene shows The Chosen One using his middle leg to do everything from push-ups to pounding his opponents; it's funny and should've been left in (in my opinion). All told, some good, clean kung fu comedy. Recommended.

Kung Pow (2002)5 word summaryChosen one battles against evilKung Pow is truly one of the dumbest and most ridiculous film ever made, it also is one of my personal favorite comedies ever made. After watching the previews back in 02 I thought this movie looked stupid, I had no interest in seeing it. The main focus of the trailer is the battle against the cow and that looked stupid. Most of my friends at the time thought it looked hilarious. One day, while home sick, I decided to watch it against my better judgment. And what happened? I laughed my ass off. The comedy in it is really, really stupid and yet genius at the same time. one of those things that prove there's a thin line between genius and insanity. Right when you figure out the humor they toss in something you didn't expect that is just so random and hilarious that takes the film to another level. For instance, the opening scene. We see a baby fighting a man. He flips all over, pees on him, and soon the man gets frustrated and burns down the house. The baby flies out the window and falls down a hill. At this point you think you know the humor. Alright its immature dumb humor but it seems like it will be OK. Then we see what the film really is like. The baby lands on a path going through the hill. A woman picks him up and holds him swaying and mentioning how cute he is. She turns and walks to the hill and throws him off saying "bye bye" and the baby continues to fall. So random and yet it's a remarkably genius addition to the scene. A scene that most films would have stopped 2 minutes earlier. It's the first clue that this will not be your average comedy. Kung Pow has so many great lines. Along with Anchorman and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it is one of my favorite movies to quote.My main problem with the film is the same reason I didn't originally want to see it. The fight with the cow. I do and always have skipped that scene, it goes on to long, it doesn't look good, and it's just not funny. But for some reason that's what the film is remembered for, and that's a shame.Other than that I haven't much else to say. The film is definitely not for everyone and I don't get mad when someone I talk to didn't like it or the not so high ratings it gets. I understand it's a dumb film but I do truly believe it is fantastic. If you're willing and open to it maybe you will see it for the genius it is.8/10
