Awesome show (watch out for the ads, though!).......2006-03-26
This is one of the greatest TV shows I have ever seen. Totally funky fresh to the limit, worth the purchase. However, these DVDs do include commercials. You literally have to fast forward through ads on your own DVD. Other than that, an awesome show. Proud to have it on my shelf.
Please release more Kung Faux dvds!.......2005-08-14
Please release more Kung Faux dvds!
I have been waiting so long for "Volume 2" to come out that I made the mistake of buying another dvd that someone said might quench my thirst for "Kung Faux".
Amazon recommended something called "Volcano High" that was a complete piece of trash and a total rip off & let down.
And, it made me realize even how much more I love "Kung Faux" and will likely never be able to replace it with something else.
So, please, please, please! Release more episodes on dvd before i have an anxiety attack!-I am not kidding.
You guys have created a monster!- Now Feed Me!

Ill Master.......2005-07-25
I first saw Kung Faux about a year ago, perhaps longer. I just NOW got the DVD for it...I will tell anyone who hasn't seen it yet that it's absolutely rediculous, but just as entertaining. If you have a good sense of humor and can laugh at the word "Nikka," when it's used that the end of a sentence, then go buy this movie. I just wish volume 2-6 were released, i can seem to find them anywhere
The only draw backs is the commercials that appear while you are watching the episodes. Other than that it's all worth it...
POSSIBLY THE GREATEST TV SHOW EVER !!!.......2005-07-19
The Miami Herald says Kung Faux is "possibly the greatest tv show ever!" and I couldn't agree more.
My TIVO is full of the censored epiosdes from the FUSE and AZN tv channels and I love that I can now get them uncensored on dvd then put them on my new PSP.
I also love all of the little surprises that they drop in between the episodes on dvd like the hip hop music video from Sweden and hot girls from GAME. They are like the surprises you get in a box of Cracker Jacks or something.
I have already signed up to the email list at [...]for the rest of the dvds in the series. I wish more TV was like this.
Pity the clueless & close minded, for ignorance is bliss........2005-07-07
For some people, hip hop slang sounds like a foreign language,...like when they here someone say "he done messed up my doobie dun" or " i gots to get my shape up yo"...all they hear is are a bunch of words that make no sense to them,... and for others kung fu films are only good to them if they are seeing exactly what they have seen a thousand times before with a overly carbon copied soundtrack and 80 minutes of filler spread out between a few minutes of fight scenes here and there.
If this sounds like you then don't get this dvd, just order yourself another scoop of vanilla ice cream from somewhere else.
But if you love comic book style video game graphic effects, the wordplay of Rap lyrics, the subversive intelligent humor found in the brains of hip hop music artists from around the world & can understand what they are saying or at least mean, as well as wall to wall fight scenes but not the boring parts of old kung fu movies, then this is the dvd for you.
This is the realist, funniest thing that I have seen in a long long time, and the music is incredible...the fight scenes alone scored to thumping tracks from De La Soul, Naughty By Nature, & Queen Latifah or worth the price...They have a "karaoke" game function on the dvd that allows you to mute the dialogue but keep the music and I find myself playing this all of the time as booming background music while I am working it is that good.
It should be noted that this is not an entire season of episodes on one dvd,...it is actually two "uncensored" episodes from the first season plus a bunch of short movies, promo trailers, and music videos that are also pretty interesting, which make it run around 90 minutes long very much like an "Anime" DVD.
I have to say that I think "Anime" is more like what this "Kung Faux" dvd should be compared to, not a classic kung fu movie or some throw away hip hop gimmick.
It requires a certain amount of willingness for the viewer to give into this new environment infused with fast paced color and music and expanded vocabulary, and I don't know about you, but I enjoyed the challenge and experience of learning and discovering something new while being entertained, and I was almost glad that there wasn't a whole bunch of episodes on one disc, because with so much to take in on this dvd, I think I might have gotten a brain overload if I watched too many of them in a row.
I pity the clueless & close minded of you who chose to (...) rather than enjoy this dvd because like most things in your life...it is all probably just too far over your head to comprehend and requires more knowledge of pop culture and brain power than you can muster, so you will never have the opportunity to laugh and enjoy this dvd like I have, but like they say..."ignorance is bliss", and the world needs dumbos like you to keep the crap flowing, because god forbid a mass majority demand intelligent humor , because that would kill off the vast majority of brain dead nuggets being pooped out by the majority of entertainment companies in the world today and sink it for everyone...so you keep hating kids, while others like me find salvation in our little boxes of goodness like "Kung Faux".
