Reviewed by: AV1979 on 2001-12-07
Summary: Chow + Soccer = WINNER!!!!!
This is without a doubt the best film Stephen Chow has come out with since 1996's GOD OF COOKERY (which is now rumored to be a sequel in the works).

The supporting cast, led by the very beautiful Vicky Zhao and Chow's partner in crime Ng Man Tat are nothing short of amazing.

Chow is Sing, a young kung fu master who wants to bring Shaolin kung fu in the mainstream. After some failed attempts, he learns that soccer is the way to do. After gathering his Shaolin brothers, they for a team under the coaching of Fung (Ng). Meanwhile, Sing falls for a disfigured yet sympatethic tai chi expert (Zhao) who makes the best sweet bread.

Patrick Tse (Nicholas Tse's father and verteran actor) is the evil Hung, who will stop the Shaolin Team from winning the championship no matter what it takes.

Cecelia Cheung and Karen Mok make cameos as MALE?! Soccer Players!!! Funny and must be seen!!

In fact, this movie is a must see for soccer fans, kung fu fans, Stephen Chow fans...hell, everyone should see this film.

U.S. Release date - April 5, 2002 (for the fans in the USA) and yes, it will be on the big screens.
