KUNG PHOOEY is Bruce Lee meets Austin Powers in an outrageous spoof with Kung Fu action and knock-out laughter.

Funny and different.......2007-03-13

If Mel Brooks was into old Kung Fu movies instead of old Westerns, this would be the result.

Kung Phooey is an awesome slap stick comedy.......2007-02-17

This is an awesome slapstick comedy for those who like to get some laughs. It's about time a comedy was made for the Chinese American generation! I can relate to the humor and the culture of the story. I hope they come out with Kung Phooey II!

At times, funny!.......2005-08-12

This movie is ok, the humor is slap stick and dry, to the point where at first it is funny, but stupid and pointless. The whole movie is a parody of the whole kung fu movie genre and the people of this ethnic background.

The acting is mediocre, the actors are very B-list, or maybe C. The plot of the movie is simple and worthless, there are no or little fighting scenes, there will be funny moments at times, reference to many things, very simple and entertaining.

Overall ok movie, not the best movie, but delivers entertainment for the whole family, even though it is rated "R", for no reason.

Rated R?!?????.......2005-08-02

Kung Phooey is a slap stick comedy poking campy humour and parody at kung fu movies and the series Kung Fu.

Art Choo (thats his name, not a sneeze) has come from the Shirley Temple of China all the way to his releatives in America to seek an ancient peach that contains powers of youth. But his new nemises Sue She is also looking for the peach, along with her two side kicks, the big guy, Wun Tonne and the little guy Loe Fat. Art teams up with a Chinease/American who trys to be American over Chinease, and an African American, Leroy (Roy Lee) who want's to be Bruce Lee but has no skills.

The movie is fun, pokes fun at Chinease stereo types (by the Chinease!) kung fu movies and is sure to get a laugh out of fans of this kind of thing. The cover says it's like Austin Powers, not really, but in some ways it is. AP pokes fun at Bond movies, this one pokes fun at Kung Fu movies.

Overall, it's worth a rent at least. It's a funny and entertaining independent film that will be up there in my collection along side movies like, Kung Pow, American Ninja and even Airplane, Naked Guns, Hot Shots ect...

The thing I dont understand is why this film in America has an R rating? It's 12 in UK, PG or M Australian, and G Canada... yet an R in America? It has no swearing, no nudity, no sexual content thats inapropriot for kids. I really think it's a PG 13 movie.... and no, it's not voilent and there is no blood or gore.

I need a glass of WATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For those people looking back at good stupid movies.......2005-07-30

first. this movie is thee funniest movie i have watched in 2005. the funniest. People who call this movie stupid and cheesy might as well be born in 2000, the year crappy comedies just kept going crappier. This isnt some owen wilson "cool-talking" comedy or ben stillers random shaking. Its a chris farley type movie this one is. or at least thats the best way to compare. Kung pow was stupid funny, but this one is so much more funny. they got some pretty funny names and the stero-type jokes towards asians are funny. As for fight scenes, each one is different and doesnt tell the same joke. Really it doesnt, even i thought it was going to do the same routine, but i was clearly wrong. What i'm trying to get at is that this is a good movie to watch because you'll laugh off your seat and keep laughing till the end. You wont be burdened with a timeless plot, cg effects, A class actors; this is the present comedy movie of past that wont come in the near future.
