Shaolin Soccer
Has anybody seen this? It's the biggest Hong Kong smash hit of all time, and swept their equivalent of the Oscars last year. I myself have watched it twice, the first time being right before World Cup Finals earlier this year. It's a spoof comedy, but at the same time, it is simply the most entertaining sports movie I have ever seen in my life.
The basic premise is that a group of former Shaolin monks (for those of you who don't know, Shaolin is the name of the temple from which all modern kung fu is derived) that form a football team using their super-duper kung fu powers. It must be seen to be believed. However, right now, the only way you can see it in North America is by the all-region international DVD, which is extremely poorly subtitled, but I suppose that would add to the amusement for some of you. ![]() But definitely catch it if you can.

They dubbed it?
![]() Oh no! Half the fun is Steven Chow's delivery and I'm afraid that's just not going to come through with dubbing. I've seen this movie 3 times and it gets funnier with each viewing. Watch it subtitled. Dubs are evil! If the subtitles suck, so much the better. You can laugh at those too. ![]() |

I'm not a big movie watcher, but this sounds funny! I'd like to see it. Kung-Fu football team?
