One of the worst comedies I've ever seen.

I am usually up for any kind of comedy, but I really thought Kung Pow stunk. The only thing remotely funny to me was the cow for about 3 seconds. Really weak beer.

Comparing golden delicious to granny Smiths . . now that's just wacky! One's yellow with an occasional hint of green, and one's like, totally yellow-green! I can't believe they're both called "apples."

I have meddled with the primal forces of nature and I will atone.

i think you're crap.

Psha, the new word.

I went to Matti-666's message board to see what comedies he likes...apparently none.

Plotholes are like Bigfoot, people who claim to see them are just trying to stir things up.

yes, its a silly and stupid movie, but hey, if it is your kind of humor, fine, enjoy it.

Man, if you're gonna defend something...learn to type. Seriously. Trying to navigate my way through your reply was almost as hard as sitting through the first 40 minutes of this film (which I could barely do).



P.S. This movie sucked more balls than The Fog remake. And that's a lot of balls.

Putting aside the merits of this movie, that has got to be one of the stupidest entries I've seen on a message board in quite some time.

You don't even know enough about the movie to know it's a parody of a CHINESE movie (Kung Fu is Chinese, genius).

Either you have the intellect of a 2-year-old who's fallen on its head too many times, or you're intentionally misspelling the word "cool" in a pathetic, idiotic attempt to be cool.

I agree. I thought it would be good but boy does this movie suck or what. I mean its really bad especially that stupid tongue. Kung fu Hustle is 100 times better now that was a good movie. I though Kung pow would be good two and just watched it 3 days ago. It was so crap! The whole just blows and its a pitty because it have been one of those funny stupid comedies, instead it was just stupid and nit funny at all. ZERO out of 10.

ill argeed what he/she has to say. this is funny film ive seen. cant wait for new one to realsed

Did you ever notice that for any significant movie in IMDB there is ALWAYS a d**khead starting a message thread called "worst movie ever" or something, just to attract everyone else's attention?

And that he/she NEVER replies to those who defend that particular movie in the thread?

Now we have an answer for the questions: "DEFINE A MORON" and "DEFINE A LOSER"

Oh wow!!!! Shut up before I literally stab you with a spoon. This thing was the most horrible piece of.... Oh my gosh!!!!! Die!!! Steve Odejerk for making this crap!(Get it Odejerk that was clever wasn't it) I can't understand why any carbon based life form in full possession of their faculties (aka any human being who has the sense they were born with) could find this mess even the slightest bit funny. Are you high!!! You're sitting on your couch with bong eating pop tarts right now aren't you? I can't even go on anymore.

















But I mean I know the movie was supposed to be stupid, an effort which it certainly achieved but it wasn't even an entertaining satire of old karate movies it was a 5 year old's brain trip before he lost interest in it.

I agree with mysterium. I also think he seems to be the only smart person who posted something on this idiotic criticim thread of a great film.
See, what most of you who didn't like the movie are forgetting, is that this movie is not supposed to be smart...and that is exactly what makes it great and smart.
It is filled with little funny moments that make you want to rewatch the movie, and every time you watch it again you discover new funny moments that you missed before.
I would put this movie right up there with "Naked Gun" and "Hot Shots 2" among the funniest movies i've ever seen.
Oedekerk is a genius. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Wow!

You really got the point across there...

I mean how clever. Taking the original dialogue & replacing it with utter garbage.
Taking the original film and replacing digital effects.

How marvelous. Utter briliance.... If you're 8 years old.

Oh, & by the way, the original dialogue to this film wasn't important to the original film. It never is with Hong Kong movies. What's important is how the lead star kicks the siht out of the bad guys.
In fact, the original dialogue was funnier than Steve's lame effort. I've heard it!

There is no help but self help...
Running water never flows stale...

I understand the film perfectly, and I won't argue that it's technically brilliant. But that doesn't make it any less stupid or unfunny. Thanks to a room mate of mine in college, I saw this piece of crap about 20 times in two weeks. It sucked the first time I saw it and it sucked the last time.

I'm not some movie snob that hates dumb comedy. I like the Super Troopers and Dumb and Dumbers as much as I like hairbrained *beep* like Monty Python. I love spoofs, whether its from Mel Brooks or Scary Movie. I like The Big Lebowski, Bill and Ted, Death to Smoochy, Hot Fuzz, Ferris Bueller, Dr Strangelove, American Pie, A Fish Called Wanda, and I even like the much maligned Nothing But Trouble (the one with Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, and Demi Moore).

But Kung Pow just plain sucked. It sucked as a stupid movie and it sucked as a clever spoof. I didn't laugh a single time.

Thats alot of Nuts !

If you like this movie thats fine. However, I most certainly did not. This movie was the only movie ever that I wasn't able to finish. In fact I shut off the movie like 10 minutes after it started. Maybe it gets better later on. I didn't want to take that chance.

Well, what can I say... The guy who wrote something about using quotes from the movie in his everyday vocabulary kinda summed up how you separate the good comedies from the bad ones. And I also use loads of quotes from Kung Pow along with my friends when we talk. I mean, how can you NOT say "Yes, yes, play me like a drum" if you cough an someone pads you on the back? There's like no escape! So, in other words - I loved this movie! Sure, like Austin Powers, I think that the movie would have gone from great to brilliant if it had been a half an hour shorter. Sure, sure, then people would have critisized it for being too short, but hey! That's how I feel about it. Most of my friends liked it, and some thought it was an ok movie, nothing more, but they ALL laughed at "That's alot of nuts!" (how can you not?) and when the mayor (or whatever), Betty and his thugs walk down the street and that guy comes up to them and says "Hey guys, what's goin' on?" and then gets struck down. I, on the other hand, laughed all the time. Another favourite moment: "What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungycord? ...... My ass! (everybody laughs) ENOUGH! (everybody stops laughing)" Great! A crowd pleaser. Well, even if you didn't find this movie to be one of the best comedies ever made, you should at least give Steve Oedekerk credit for all the work he put into it.

Vaya con dios.
