Customer Reviews: - "Beware his song about big butts!"
 Movies like Kung Pow! Enter the Fist only come once in a blue moon. Thank god that blue moon comes.
This is the most fun I've ever had watching a movie. The story, the lines, the concept is so ridiculously absurd and stupid, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The jokes come fast- very fast. There's so many laughs, I found it hard to breath by the end of the film.
Every line is extremely quotable. Six months after you've seen the film, you and your friends will still be saying, "Beware Betty's iron claws. They are sharp. And they hurt.*voice starts to waver while he begins to die* And beware his song about big butts! HE BEATS YOU UP WHILE HE PLAYS IT!!"
This is not the movie to come to if you're are looking for artsy type films, like Lost in Translation. This is the movie to come to if you've had a bad day and you need to laugh; because, I guarantee it, you'll friggin' laugh....more info - My IQ has been lowered because of this movie
 I did not watch this movie on my own free will, I could not even sit through it. This was the only movie that I left the theatre half way through. The plot is horrible, the dialouge is atrocious, and the acting is even worse. Normally I like movies with subtitles, but the way they dubbed over the voices is just too annoying. The parts that were supposed to be funny were too dumb to laugh at. This movie needs to enter the "Crap Movies Hall of Fame" next to Showgirls....more info - SPARE ME THIS MOCKERY OF THE MARTIAL ARTS!!!!
 Kung Pow: Enter The Fist? Oh, bruddah! As if it needed a review. I mean, Toungie, Moon-Yu the Cow, MASTER "BETTY" PAIN?!?!?!? Please don't buy this wanna-be martial arts movie....more info - the funnist movie of 2002

 this movie has its moments. but the stupidity of this movie is unbelieveable. if i seen this on cable i would have no trouble going to the restroom or answering the phone. because this movie suckkssss...more info - Funny as hell!
 I NEVER laughed so hard!!! My favorite part was when the main character used the "gopher chucks". It was so funny!!!! And the voices of that girl and Master Pain(I think that's his name, i'm talking about that badguy)were so funny!!...more info - It has been a favorite for all my kids
 I have seen this movie about 25 times and its still funny every time.
My kids love it and were crushed that number 2 never came out.
It's great for boys, they find it hysterical....more info - Holy cow! I mean... That hardly even seems possible!
 This has to be one of the strangest, funniest spoofs of martial arts I've ever seen. I watched Kung Fu Hustle, but really didn't find it especially funny. Kung Pow, on the other hand, had us laughing just about from beginning to end.
The long and short of it, for people who don't know the schtick, is that the movie's creator basically found an old 1970's kung fu movie and either used green screen or reshot parts of the movie to put himself into the action. He also revoiced much of the dialogue to completely remake the movie into his own twisted vision of a kung fu spoof. The end result is occasional hilarity, occasional groans, a few slow moments but an overall great spoof.
If you love kung fu movies, you'll probably appreciate this spoof of the 70's revenge genre. If you haven't watched any good martial arts movies, why are you watching this? Go rent Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, Hero, Iron Monkey or The Forbidden Kingdom....more info - Cult Classic Martial Arts Parody
 Kung Pow- Enter the Fist
This is a parody movie. Wait...do not run away just yet. Unlike the mass of crappy parody movies that are produced these days, this movie is actually very funny. If you are into the Japanese Martial Arts genre, you need to pick this one up. This movie is a parody of that specific genre. Luckily, you do not actually have to known anything about the movies it is spoofing to find this movie laugh-out-loud funny. Even if you hate martial arts movies, you will enjoy this one.
The movie starts in a small village. Master Pain and his group of thugs enter a home looking for a baby. The baby could affect their evil plans in the future if he is not stopped now. After the baby takes down most of the gang, Master Pain burns down the home in hopes to kill the child. Unfortunately, the baby narrowly barely escapes the flames. His family has been killed, so he is raised by the local wildlife.
The baby would become known as "The Chosen One." Chosen One will be forced to fight off Master Pain's henchmen for the rest of his life. However, after growing into an adult, he encounters Pain in a nearby village. Chosen One now seeks revenge on Pain, who will change his name to Betty. "Isn't Betty a woman's name" is the question running through your and Chosen One's mind. Betty is still a force to be reckoned with despite his feminine name.
This is not a intelligent comedy. Kung Pow expects you to lose about 20 IQ before viewing it. There is nothing wrong with a stupid (in a funny way) comedy every now and then. Some of the jokes are insanely humorous; other jokes are lukewarm stupid comedy. All of it mixes fairly well together. You will see references to The Lion King and The Matrix at certain points of the movie that will make you laugh. The other idiotic characters will have you laughing for a long time.
The only problem with this film is that the video quality is low sometimes. Kung Pow takes pieces from other Japanese movies that originally played in the 70s. I enjoy this idea, but some might get annoyed by it. The ending credits show how they achieved this in more detail.
I wish a sequel were made for this movie. There is plenty of reference to the making of a sequel in this film, but no sequel has been made to my knowledge. This movie has become a Cult Classic and the sequel would probably ruin this movie anyway. I want you to pick up this movie right now if you enjoy a fun spoof every now and then....more info - Just Plain Great
 Really Really funny ! Some scenes could go a little faster - but is a primo movie....more info - It has been a favorite for all my kids
 I have seen this movie about 25 times and its still funny every time.
My kids love it and were crushed that number 2 never came out.
It's great for boys, they find it hysterical....more info - Worst. Movie. Ever.
 Kung Pow has got to be one of the WORST movies I have ever seen. This movie is the true definition of "stupid." Now, some movies are stupidly funny (i.e. Austin Powers), but this movie is just flat out mindless. I'm even in to idiotic movies like these, but this movie disgusted me. I highly recommend you don't see it if you don't want to lose IQ points......more info - The Ultimate Kung-Fu Spoof.......WEEEOOOWEEEOOO!!!
 This may be funny for the regular fan of comedies but for kung fu fans, this hits a totally new level of funny. Personally, I don't think I would've enjoyed this movie nearly as much if I hadn't been watching kung-fu for so long. But not just kung-fu, bad kung-fu. I only own the good stuff but I've seen enough bad ones to get alot of the jokes going on in this movie. Basically, this movie almost killed me. I laughed so hard for so long, I almost couldn't breath. I hadn't seen anything so funny in a long time and it's been almost as long since.
Suprisingly though, I didn't see this in the movie theater. I remember the previews for it and thought it was just going to be stupid. I was dead wrong. I ended up renting it shortly after it came out on video and still didn't expect much. Not long into it, I was in tears. My girlfriend thought I had lost my mind as she had never seen me lose it like that. I agree as it's rare that anything can crack me up like this movie did. Coincidentally, the next movie on my list that has such an effect on me is 'Ace Ventura:When Nature Calls', which is also directed by Steve Oedekerk who stars in and directs 'Kung Pow'. Although Jim Carrey was fantastic in the last 'Ace', I think the teaming of the 2 made it comedy magic.
The funniest things about this film are that Oedekerk really knows and gets kung-fu films. He knows exactly what's funny about them. The things that all kung-fu movie watchers chuckle at when watching a particularly bad one. Even the better ones have some, what?, moments in them that can only be explained as bad writing or bad translation. Here, Oedekerk focuses on those and makes them the focus of almost all the characters dialog and personalities. I guess as most any spoof goes, you have to know the original material for it to hit on that deeper level and 'Kung Pow' is an absolute bullseye shot at kung-fu.
For me, one of the better aspects about Oedekerks' films is that they're basically clean. He doesn't indulge in cussing to make dialog funnier or gratuitous nudity for cheap thrills like today's comedies. No, he just sticks close to the source of silliness and doesn't get side tracked. Kung Pow never tries to be serious or anything other than an 81 min. joke. Because of that, this movie totally succeeds.
The audio and video aren't really worth mentioning here as it's not the type of movie that you'll care as long as it works and it does. The picture is clean, colorful and bright and the audio is clear and discernable on all levels. You'll be having so much fun, you'll forget to check anyways. Personally, I don't think I could watch it just to check the sources. Other than that, the graphics and edits are cheesy but perfect here for what it's doing. Even though it looks fake, the cow is hilarious!!! The dubbing over the old film footage is also crazy funny. It reminds me of an old show called 'Putting on the Hits', where actors would improv voice overs for old films. It used to crack me up and it works here too as the majority of the movie is an old kung-fu movie dubbed with new dialog.
I'm not sure how well this movie will do for people who don't watch kung-fu but I can positively guarantee that it'll have the fans in stitches. So for the casual fan of comedies, give it a rent. For the kung-fu fan, buy it now and watch it immediately. If you don't laugh, check your pulse cause your probably dead....more info - I'll kill him, I'll kill him dead.
 This movie is so funny! It's got the worst story line ever, but who cares?! It's such a funny movie! You'll laugh almost all the way through. There are just so many jokes, I won't even start going into detail. Just watch it!!!...more info - Zany and hilarious.
 This is the kind of goofy movie that lets you break out the popcorn, sit on the bedroom floor with a bunch of friends, and just laugh your heads off for an hour and a half. The jokes are both clever and wonderfully stupid. They will amuse, enthuse and most of all get you to laugh hysterically and remember the characters for their funny voices, silliness, and originality. There are so many gags worth mentioning in this movie that it's best just to see it for oneself. A friend attempted to explain it to me before we watched it together, and every time something happened that I recalled her mentioning, I said "AH!" But her descriptions, which were hilarious in themselves, couldn't even have done it justice. Especially considering the wealth of other jokes I laughed at. I like to watch this movie more than once. You probably should too; laughing is good for people. Try "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist." Go get some snacks, and prepare the long rubber glove. Eenie, meenie, minie, mo...I wonder where my glove will go....more info - kung pow enter the fist
 The disk great condition when I received it, but the case was a little sun worn, like it had been sitting in direct sunlight for a couple years. Amazing movie, if you haven't seen it, you're missing out....more info - "STUPID-FUNNY!"
 THIS MOVIE IS CERTAINLY NOT FOR EVERBODY! It is about as stupid as stupid can get, but very funny. If you like old kung-fu movies and "stupid-funny" type humor, you should pick up this movie. It's crazy!!!...more info - One of the best comedy movies i have seen since..... EVER!
 This is one of the best films i have ever seen. It has a good mix of comedy and a completly stupid story. i believe that anyone who has watched this movie would agree with me that it is a classic comedy movie made out of a serious 70's film, which i suppose now that nobody would find it that serious. What i liked most about the movie was the mixture of the original cast members and new a new cast. Also the use of new animation technology for the fight scene with the cow. There is also alot of other things that i can say about the movie but i would rather you watch it for yourself....more info - "Your story makes my heart heavy, and my prostate weak."
 "Kung Pow!" is an extremely original and hillarious comedy, period! I LOVED this film, it had me rolling on the floor! There are a few amount of clunkers (the talking tongue and the French aliens could've been left out), and it begins to lose it's charm about two thirds of the way through, but most of it is ingenious! I have no idea why critics hate this movie so much, don't listen to them. It is one of the funniest movies in recent years whether those uptight cinema snobs admit it or not. It's tempting to list every hillarious moment in this film, but you really should see it yourself. I know it looks stupid, but just trust me. You WILL laugh, and laugh often. It's not the perfect comedy, but it's pretty damn close! It breathes new life into a genre that's currently overflowing with clones of the "different people switch places" and "white guy meets black cop" plots. If you enter a film like this with a bad attitude, like most of the critics out there, you'll hate it. If you enter it with an open mind and the willingness to laugh at a group of really stupid yet really clever jokes, you may find it to be the funniest comedy that you've seen in a long, long, time. I give "Kung Pow! Enter the Fist" a very solid 8.0 out of 10.0...more info - I love this movie!
 This movie is so goofy, yet it's still watchable! Even the deleted scenes are goofy! This is what I put in the DVD player when I have no Netflix, and I just want to watch something hilarious....more info - Awesome Movie!!!
 First off, I have read all the one-star reviews and you guy's are missing the whole point of the movie. You say that the movie is bad because of the acting, well guess what, its supposed to be! Now, I do think that martial arts movies and comedy do not mix well together, which is probably why the movie ended up with such bad results, but somehow, the plot is so stupid and simple, that it makes it incredibly funny. The stupid one-star reviewers are obviously incredibly high because I guess they thought that this was supposed to be a real martial arts movie, when actually, that was just the premise. The producer chose a crappy martial arts movie, added a couple of characters and extra scenes, and turned it into a comic masterpiece. There is even a dumb f*ck on here who said and I quote, "punching a hole through a person is incredibly unrealistic. I know it's a movie, but it overdoes it" or something like that. Please, how many movies have been unrealistic? Just about every horror movie, alien movies, movies like the sixth sense, and pretty much any action/adventure movie. Face it, movies are practically made to be unrealistic, unless they are movies based on a true story. So to say that kung pows fighting scenes are too unrealistic is like saying that the dawn of the dead is a true story. Now aside from all the douchebag, retarded one-star reviewers, this movie has got to be one of the funniest movies ever. I have watched a lot of comedies (probably because comedy is my favorite genre of movie), and the only movie that has been funnier than this one is South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, and Team America: World Police. Now let me prewarn any people reading this review, this is not a martial arts movie, so don't expect to see much of anything in this movie that you would see in a real martial arts movie. Also, if you do not like movies that poke fun at martial arts movies, don't watch this. I must give this movie a 5/5. Steve Oedekerk, you are a f**king genius!
-PEACE YO!
