Guest JangoFett4Hire Report post Posted February 6, 2003 Has anyone seen this surprisingly funny movie? The promos for it were totally misleading. I thought it was going to be a dumb spoof like Not another Teen Movie, but it was a little different. Steve Oedekerk put himself within an existing 1970s kung fu flick, with some pretty funny results. This was the hardest I laughed at a movie in a long long time. Anyone else see it? It's on cable now, so if you're flipping, give it a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted February 6, 2003 I've seen it and liked it. I'd imagine some of it might be harder to appreciate if you're not a fan of the Kung Fu flicks. The dvd has some of the weirdest special features, such as the "book on tape" version. Just a guy with a dry British accent speaking all the dialog over the movie.

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted February 6, 2003 I've noted it on here before, but King Pow is directly inspired (re: ripped off) from the old Woody Allen movie "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" So search that out if you liked Kung Pow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JangoFett4Hire Report post Posted February 6, 2003 Did Woody Allen put himself in that movie, or did he just alter the dialogue? I've heard 2 different things...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted February 6, 2003 He's not directly in the film itself like Oederkirk was. He does pop up in a couple bits outside of the text of the original film. One he's being interviewed about the movie and another is a girl stripping over the credits. He does the narration and a couple of the dubbed voices as well.

Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted February 8, 2003 I wanted to see this movie in theatres but never got the chance...one day I saw it on the movie channel and saw the last part of the movie...then waited for it to come on again to see the whole thing. Loved the movie, liked the cow piledriving him and the Matrix effect when he's dodging the milk. The narrator's pretty funny: "At that moment, I learned something about iron fists...THEY REALLY HURT MAN!!!" "YESSSSSS...The Evil Council is based in France!" ...and when he opens his mouth, the ship says "Sacre Bleu!" Will the sequel be like the preview at the end of the movie? "Oh...I see you brought your friends this time..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2003 If you loved the movie the DVD is a must. The DVD has alternate audio where you hear what Steve and Co. were really saying since they dubbed other lines over their own words to make their mouths be a little off from the lines. So what they really said is a bunch of nonsense that is hilarious to listen to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted February 8, 2003 I watched it halfway and liked what I saw; The people that brought it stopped it because they thought it was dumb, and they went on to watch Super Troopers right after that. *shrugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 8, 2003 Super Troopers > Kung Pow. I almost couldn't finish Kung Pow, as it was pretty much equally as stupid as his retarded Thumb movies, only it was three times as long. At least Super Troopers had "I LOVE ACID!!!!...cops." and the Meow game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
