Well Miramax has got its claws into a HK movie again I really just hope that they dont cut the hell out of it and really mess up the names aswell as the dubbing (which is normally lifeless).
However the good point of this is that the mainstream american audience will get a glimpse of Stephen Chow and his earlier movies might get released but then again Miramax will be there :'(.

Well anyway it was supposed to be released this year but it should now be coming out in 2003.

I read that it was going to be released as "Kung Fu Soccer" because American audiences wouldn't understand the premise... but from that I guess not. I haven't seen it myself but Matrix-style freeze frame rotation shots of neato kicks are very tiring, so I hope it has something original. :p

Soccer will take place and it will involve martial arts.

I dont think american's could handle that. They need to put in some rap music and call it "Bicycle Kickin, slam-dancing, gangsta, mo-fo Monks" and have it narrated by Master P. That'd sell with the kiddies.

the movie is great!!!!

watched it with a friend of mine last month and it was unbelievable. Some of the jokes suck but that's typical for asian comedy i think.
Don't think that this kind of humor is everyones cup of tea tho but i laughed my ass off during that karaoke scene in the beginning.

buy the DVD!!!!!! now!!!

BTW anyone seen the Legend of Zu ( gonna be released as Zu warriors in US cinemas) yet?
Haven't seen that much cheese since "Gone with the wind"
but it's really fun watching i think

Stephen Chow humor isn't for everyone. But I for one love his movies. Shaolin Soccer included. It's about the main characters quest to spread the teachings of martial arts. He tries different ways to do it but always fails. However Soccor is physical enough for him and his brothers to use what they were taught, to some how spread their teachings of martial arts. It's fun to watch and worth a viewing. :)

CrazyCelt your right they are now gonna call it Kungfu Soccer I forgot to put that down before, the trailer was done before they changed the name to kungfu Soccer.

aelka is that screenshot from the HK version cos the subtitles look very nice and accurate which are kinda the opposite from my malaysian vcd copy. Us HK movie freaks need all the help we can with finding decently done subtitles.

*gasp* you know how hot I am? *no.*
Well, it's the original version and it costs me $11 Canadian...they're everywhere.

Anyway, I recommand this dumbass movie to everyone because it's meant to be f3cked up.

aelka how could you survive that karaoke scene??

BTW the Hong kong original has superb subtitles and (for a HK DVD) superb features.
