Shaolin Soccer (2001)
Reviewed by: Dyogenez on 2002-05-06
Summary: One of the best
Who would've thought that a movie about a group a shaolin kung fu artists playing soccer could be so amazing. As a comedy, a kung fu film and a sports film it prevails. Stephen Chow plays a Shaolin martial artist who must get the word out about his artform. Chow breaks into song on more than one occasion as well. The soccer fight scene (that the DVD title screen breaks into), was one of funniest fight scenes in memory. Using the soccer ball to do his blows instead of by hands is a concept I don't rememeber ever seeing in any movie. There are many other innovations that make this movie stand out as well. This movie is definetely a must see as HK movies go. 10/10
