Kung Fu Rascals Trailers

In the tradition of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and the Three Stooges comes this wildly funny action comedy from director Steve Wang. When chased by mutated monsters, crafty ninjas and a 300 foot tall stone god, the bumbling heroes battle against the powers of darkness in search of "The Power Most Big".

For those of you have seen this movie , this is actually a remake of Steve's great super 8mm film he did in the early 80's which to me is not as polished as this film, but a lot funnier. Steve along with local Bay Area friends from San Jose made this classic . I own a copy but it is a little on the grainy side. To see this 8mm classic is a holy gem.From what I have been told, I do believe this film some sort of bet that Steve made that a film of this type could be made on a modest budget.There are a lot of great in jokes with great kung fu action. There is also a great kicking soundtrack by Johnny and his punk band. The Theme- We are the Kung fu Rascals , And we don't need no hassles, If trouble is what you are giving, You must be tired of living.

I'm sure people will try to pass this off as a brilliant piece of camp perfection, but let's not kid ourselves. This movie was painful to watch, despite the bizarre satisfaction of seeing Les Claypool attempt to act. I got the impression that the initial filming was silent, and that the dialogue and sound effects were poorly dubbed on later. Seriously, unless your tolerance for utterly atrocious physical 'comedy' and dialogue that a dyslexic 6-year old could have spat out is ridiculously high, then you have no reason to watch this horror of a production. The sole high point would be the 'POWER MOST BIG' line, but they manage to repeat it enough to make it lose any comedic power.

My mate told me of this film and in a moment of madness i Ordered it from america and had it shipped over.HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMIts a weird one this film..... watching it seems like an episiode of power rangers on acid (and looking in to the directors past its not supprizing to see that he did indeed direct a few power rangers productions). While watching it with my mate he was gutting himself with laughter a certain points , which while mildly ammusing wherent as funny as I was lead to believe by his high regard of the film.truth is only a few things are all that good..but those few make this movie *WEE SPOILER HERE SO DONT READ THIS BIT IF U DONT WANT TO*1. the lighting of the fart at point bank range..so unexpected 2. Any of the scenes with the "not exactly hertosextual" kung-fu student esp the kicking scene near the end. 3. the main bad guy (the sherif) and the master thief.. these two seem to be real kung-fu fighters as the battle between them is fluidic and like watching a jackie chan fight sequence.. that is highly coreographed (cant spell).* OKIES U CAN LOOK NOW* one other thing is the film tends to drag at the end..and also the ending gives the idea that there is more to come...but there is nothing more...i would think this film is like a pilot for a series that was never made.

Back in the early - mid 90's, my friends and I came across this little flick that soon became all the rave for our little cult of viewing pleasure. This movie is without a doubt a must see for any person who is into the old Hong Kong Kung Fu movies that I had grown up on watching late at night on the local mandarin channel (Midnight Kung Fu Theatre, baby!). This movie is all about laughs, do not take it seriously as a "Kung Fu" flick... it's more of a spoof of asian films. I would say this movie is made up of three mixes. It's part Jacky Chan, part Godzilla and part American Westerns. This movie is incredibly funny for those who have are in the mood for childish humor, and have an understanding of asian cinema.
