Computer generated special effects have seldom been so giddy as in Shaolin Soccer, a gleeful fusion of kung fu and a classic Bad News Bears sports 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 Soccer is 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

Stephen "WOW' Chow!! November 26, 2008
M. R. Griffin (So. California)
If subtitles are not an issue, then by all means consider this fine selection. It has it all, drama, comedy, action, adventure and my 5 star rating. I could bore you with details but that is pretty much useless for this type of movie. What you need to know is that it is loads of fun! BTW, I also loved his other film, Kung Fu Hustle. Chow is currently in production on Kung Fu Hustle 2, and pre-production on The Green Hornet (he will star as Kato!).

Finally! A truly "great" kung fu genre spoof! October 20, 2008
Michael Gmirkin (Beaverton, Oregon, USA)
From the beginning of the movie, I was laughing my hindquarters off... Granted there were some awkward moments and some slow moments. But overall, the movie made me laugh (pretty hard in a few places).

I really didn't care for Kung Fu Hustle and thought The White Dragon, Kung Phooey! and Where Is Mama's Boy were all rather sophomoric attempts at spoofs. I did laugh pretty hard at Kung Pow - Enter The Fist, but I still think that Shaolin Soccer is the better "movie." It actually felt like fully-fledged movie rather than a strung out set of slapstick and sight gags.

It was definitely reminiscent of Balls of Fury in tone and plot, however. But, again, I think it came off much better.

I'd actually recommend this movie for fans of the kung fu genre who are looking for a light-hearted spoof that still somewhat bottles a little bit of the kung fu genre's spirit.

Loved it September 30, 2008
Chandler Slaton (mn)
Loved this movie the first time I saw it. I let a friend borrow it and they never gave it back. The great thing about this new version is that it is dubbed. Even though the subtitled version is a little different it does make for easier viewing. The subtitled version is available on this disc too.
Great movie. Funny, quirky, not the norm.
