The greatest Kung Fu spoof ever!

Warning: Spoilers
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is about a baby who see's his parents get killed by a mysterious warrior. The baby escapes danger only to return years later as an adult to get revenge on his parents murder. He takes refuge with a wise teacher named Master Tang, a group of dimwitted karate students, and a beautiful woman named Ling. The man known as the Chosen One finds out that along the way to revenge lays perils of ninjas, a fighting cow, and metal claws of death to destroy the evil Master Pain. Kung Pow first off is not a serious film, it's down right funny! Steve Oedekerk who wrote and directed the film plays the Chosen One perfectly, and dubs all of the other actors voices hilariously! Master Tang's and Master Pain a.k.a. Betty's voices are fabulous! The story is very out there and mystical that works very well. The special effects are cheesy but they work for a film like this. This spoof is funny if you like the stupid out there slapstick stuff. The way Steve wiped the soundtrack clean and dubbed the voices in badly was great! But the film gets really bad near the end. The story falls short with an evil tribe revealing themselves as French Aliens and stuff that's really confusing but the film packs in a few good laughs with The Chosen One fighting Betty and avenging his family and friends. Kung Pow is a great funny bone tickler that gets an 8 for being hilarious but stupid. Fun for everyone if you like this kind of comedy. Enjoy!
