Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Kung Pow! Enter the Fist is best enjoyed with low expectations, if only because it might surprise you with genuine belly laughs. Writer-director Steve Oedekerk uses digital trickery to make himself a costar in the 1976 Hong Kong action flick Tiger & Crane Fist, just as Woody Allen turned a Japanese spy thriller into the comedy spoof What's Up, Tiger Lily? The results are both technically impressive and stupendously stupid. Oedekerk is blandly appealing as "the Chosen One," who sets out to avenge the evil Master "Betty" Pain for killing his family when he was still a kung fu-fighting infant. This stock setup is a cheap excuse for Oedekerk's 80-minute buffet of chop-socky spoofery, with gags lifted from The Matrix, Oedekerk's "Thumbation" comedies, and the rich legacy of Hong Kong action. Featuring "gopher-chucks," a kung fu cow, aliens from France, and enough bad dialogue to choke a crouching tiger, Kung Pow! is mildly spicy, but mostly it's full of nuts. --Jeff Shannon
Description
Writer/director Steve Oedekerk (The Nutty Professor and Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls) creates an off-the-wall comedy and a new martial arts genre that substantially alters dubbed action footage from a 1970's martial arts picture with a brand new twist in the story line and altered dialogue. The story follows The Chosen One (Oedekerk) as he seeks to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of the evil and seemingly indestructible kung fu legend, Master Pain.

You're going to think you won't like it, but YOU WILL..........2007-06-27
This movie was loaned to me, and the only reason I ever put it in the DVD player was so I could watch enough to return it. A martial arts movie spoof? No thanks. But I was completely in weeds on this one, and it stands now as one of my favorite goofy comedies. You don't have to have even seen a martial arts film or be into the numerous spoofs that are always being released. This movie is funny as a stand alone experience, and even the special features are a hoot. You won't think you want to see this, but if you like comedies in general you'll enjoy this wacky movie.
Funniest Kung Fu Spoof I've Ever Seen.......2007-05-01
This is the funniest Kung Fu spoof I've seen, and that includes the fact I've seen the entire Kung Faux series. Kung Faux doesn't have ANYTHING on this!
This guy bought a kung fu flick and then inserted himself via blue screen (though nowadays they use green screens) technology and redubbed and massacred the entire thing until it became a comedy. And it draws on every single kung fu cliche imaginable; I'm quite a fan of kung fu movies and know even great kung fu movies tend to have cliches. The more into kung fu flicks, the funnier you'll think it is, as in this case familiarity breeds not contempt but laughter. I had to actually pause it several times I was laughing so hard. IMHO even every Stephen Chow flick pales in comparison to the humor factor inherit in this movie...Chow's flicks are meant to have humorous elements, but are not outright spoofs as this movie. Buy this for the kung fu enthusiast in your life (even if its yourself), you will not* regret it!
a real classic for me.......2007-04-01
this movie is silly and random. but i really love that. so if your like me then buy this movie
Some spoofs get it right, and this is one of them..........2006-12-12
If you don't like this movie then simply turn it off, it's not your speed. If you're a fan of films like `Scary Movie' or better yet `Monty Python' then this is a movie for you. Dubbing himself into a 1976 Hong Kong film, Steve Oedekerk gives us one hilarious acid trip of a film complete with quirky dialog and hilarious special effects. Spoofing everything that makes classic Kung Fu films so funny in the first place and adding a touch of modern cinema like a Matrix fighting cow, `Kung Pow! Enter the Fist' delivers laugh after laugh after laugh. So little tonguey may be ridiculous, but renaming the villain Betty was a classic stroke of genius!
Kung Pow is powerfully funny.......2006-12-12
I'm so happy to see all the great reviews for this film. These peeps have great taste and an even greater sense of humor. In a day and age where a movie is considered a hit if it provides two or three laughs, this movie is so refreshing. "Kung Pow" had me laughing from the beginning, the baby roll, to the end, THE FRENCH!!!! I'm not sure if I've ever seen a comedy that had me holding my sides because they hurt from laughter, trying to catch my breath before the next "bit" (which was usually only a few seconds) and almost pissing in my pants. When I saw the movie the 1st time, the theater was almost empty, but you couldn't tell from my laughter. I really embarrassed my dad. I have very few comedies in my DVD collection. That is because most of them have diminishing value, with each viewing the movie is less funny. "Kung Pow!" is the exception to that rule. I've seen it several times and have laughed as much as I did when I 1st saw it. The reason I am writing this is because a few moments ago several scenes from the movie popped into my head, "Call me Betty" and "I'm eeeevvvviiilll, so evil!" and seeing Taco Bell in the village (maybe that's the prob with Taco Bell, they're still using the ingredients they had back then, LOL!). No other comedy has done that, pop up for no reason and get me laughing all over again. Now that I wrote my review, I'm going to buy the film. I wish Steve would do another film like this. One last thing, unlike other films, the outtakes were actually funny as well. Okay weee weee weee folks!

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist is best enjoyed with low expectations, if only because it might surprise you with genuine belly laughs. Writer-director Steve Oedekerk uses digital trickery to make himself a costar in the 1976 Hong Kong action flick Tiger & Crane Fist, just as Woody Allen turned a Japanese spy thriller into the comedy spoof What's Up, Tiger Lily? The results are both technically impressive and stupendously stupid. Oedekerk is blandly appealing as "the Chosen One," who sets out to avenge the evil Master "Betty" Pain for killing his family when he was still a kung fu-fighting infant. This stock setup is a cheap excuse for Oedekerk's 80-minute buffet of chop-socky spoofery, with gags lifted from The Matrix, Oedekerk's "Thumbation" comedies, and the rich legacy of Hong Kong action. Featuring "gopher-chucks," a kung fu cow, aliens from France, and enough bad dialogue to choke a crouching tiger, Kung Pow! is mildly spicy, but mostly it's full of nuts. --Jeff Shannon
Description
Writer/director Steve Oedekerk (The Nutty Professor and Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls) creates an off-the-wall comedy and a new martial arts genre that substantially alters dubbed action footage from a 1970's martial arts picture with a brand new twist in the story line and altered dialogue. The story follows The Chosen One (Oedekerk) as he seeks to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of the evil and seemingly indestructible kung fu legend, Master Pain.

This is the funniest Kung Fu spoof I've seen, and that includes the fact I've seen the entire Kung Faux series. Kung Faux doesn't have ANYTHING on this!
This guy bought a kung fu flick and then inserted himself via blue screen (though nowadays they use green screens) technology and redubbed and massacred the entire thing until it became a comedy. And it draws on every single kung fu cliche imaginable; I'm quite a fan of kung fu movies and know even great kung fu movies tend to have cliches. The more into kung fu flicks, the funnier you'll think it is, as in this case familiarity breeds not contempt but laughter. I had to actually pause it several times I was laughing so hard. IMHO even every Stephen Chow flick pales in comparison to the humor factor inherit in this movie...Chow's flicks are meant to have humorous elements, but are not outright spoofs as this movie. Buy this for the kung fu enthusiast in your life (even if its yourself), you will not* regret it!
a real classic for me.......2007-04-01
this movie is silly and random. but i really love that. so if your like me then buy this movie
Some spoofs get it right, and this is one of them..........2006-12-12
If you don't like this movie then simply turn it off, it's not your speed. If you're a fan of films like `Scary Movie' or better yet `Monty Python' then this is a movie for you. Dubbing himself into a 1976 Hong Kong film, Steve Oedekerk gives us one hilarious acid trip of a film complete with quirky dialog and hilarious special effects. Spoofing everything that makes classic Kung Fu films so funny in the first place and adding a touch of modern cinema like a Matrix fighting cow, `Kung Pow! Enter the Fist' delivers laugh after laugh after laugh. So little tonguey may be ridiculous, but renaming the villain Betty was a classic stroke of genius!
Kung Pow is powerfully funny.......2006-12-12
I'm so happy to see all the great reviews for this film. These peeps have great taste and an even greater sense of humor. In a day and age where a movie is considered a hit if it provides two or three laughs, this movie is so refreshing. "Kung Pow" had me laughing from the beginning, the baby roll, to the end, THE FRENCH!!!! I'm not sure if I've ever seen a comedy that had me holding my sides because they hurt from laughter, trying to catch my breath before the next "bit" (which was usually only a few seconds) and almost pissing in my pants. When I saw the movie the 1st time, the theater was almost empty, but you couldn't tell from my laughter. I really embarrassed my dad. I have very few comedies in my DVD collection. That is because most of them have diminishing value, with each viewing the movie is less funny. "Kung Pow!" is the exception to that rule. I've seen it several times and have laughed as much as I did when I 1st saw it. The reason I am writing this is because a few moments ago several scenes from the movie popped into my head, "Call me Betty" and "I'm eeeevvvviiilll, so evil!" and seeing Taco Bell in the village (maybe that's the prob with Taco Bell, they're still using the ingredients they had back then, LOL!). No other comedy has done that, pop up for no reason and get me laughing all over again. Now that I wrote my review, I'm going to buy the film. I wish Steve would do another film like this. One last thing, unlike other films, the outtakes were actually funny as well. Okay weee weee weee folks!
