Great movie that put Stephen Chow on the market. Mix of kung-fu movie, football and comedy. In all three sections, she is successful. Chow who has a pretty good kung-fu domain without being Jet Li, and combines it perfectly with his excellent skills for humor is removed from the sleeve one of the funniest Asian movies I've ever seen. And it is not easy to take humor from Orientals. The serious faces of Chow when he is saying a nonsensical comment are great. It also plays in its favor the gang of secondary that has been sought and that maintain the level of humor of the film. That way you can not get enough of Chow. That is the best thing for a comedy, that not all the scenes of humor fall on the same type, well it does not become weary. Separate mention for how well Chow includes the music in the film for both the scenes of the parties and for the comic scenes. As for the football scenes ... INCREDIBLE. Its spectacularity makes Captain Tsubasa look ridiculous. The parties are raised almost as if they were an action movie and special effects. It's worth watching the movie if only for this. A pleasant surprise, since one was not expecting much of a thing titled Shaolin Soccer as it is logical.The best: The final match against the Evil Team. The worst: Your title can scare many people.The phrase: I did not come to fight ... I came to play.- Stephen Chow.

If you are a fan of Asian cinema watch Shoalin Soccer, if you are looking for a downright funny film watch Shoalin Soccer, if you laughed till you cried watching Kung-Fu Hustle prepare to do so again.Do not however watch Shoalin Soccer if you are looking for a serious romance or for the "SOCCER" you will be somewhat disappointed. I say somewhat because among all the slapstick humour and jokes the movie has quite a moving story and the characters are developed quite well, at least the main ones are. The movie flows really well from the beginning it never becomes dull or tedious and the jokes and gags are timed perfectly courtesy of Steven Chow who is a fantastic director; shame the types of movies he works with aren't really appreciated and Hollywood has made sure of that. Besides that go see the movie if you want 2 hours of pure entertainment from a fantastic movie.In terms of a comedy movie i give this a 9/10. But in all seriousness this movie gets a 7.5/10 from me.

Shaolin Soccer is another odd movie we've watched recently and it was like some foreign food you try for the first time in your life: you don't know what is it made of but the taste is awesome and keeps you wondering what the hell was that.To help you understand what I mean I'll show you the ingredients:Take 1 young kung fu master with an idee fixe to let the world know about the benefits of studying kung fu and using it in everyday life. Add 1 down-on-his-luck soccer trainer who used to be a legendary player but ended up with broken leg and tarnished honor. Mix. Then add 5 shaolin monks: Iron Head - an unlucky janitor at night club, Hooking Leg - a grumpy dishwasher and excrement transporter, Iron Shirt - not-too-successful businessman, Empty Hand - unemployed guy who wears an infamous yellow suit of Bruce Lee, and Light Weight - an obese grocery store clerk. Also add a team of local thugs. Finally add a baker of sweet buns - a girl with severe acne whose face is only attractive to flies. Get Team Shaolin.That's not all. The recipe also includes:A tournament with a 1 million dollar prize - 1 million dollar prize - A beauty salon run by a transvestite (why WHY would anyone go there???) - transvestite beauty salon master- A weird team of ugh.. modern amazon women? - Team Evil and a big huge doping conspiracyIf you haven't figured this out - the movie is crazy. It's cracking funny and is full of special effects that might beat matrix! Plus some unique gags... Mix all the above things, place them in the most unpredictable order, add some unexpected encounters and the dish is ready. Serve immediately!
