Super Underrated Now before you say anything about this movie make sure you are talking about the right movie. Because there is a more ridiculous Kung fu movie similar to this called Kung Pow. This movie is way better. This movie was one that I could never forget even if I wanted to. It has a great mix of comedy, action, and sad moments. I laughed at a large amount of the jokes except for the cheesy running scene which was kind of cringe to watch. The action is actually insanely inspirational to me. Every time that Kung fu broke out it made me want to learn it. As for the most memorable moment it would have to be the scene where the main character was a kid and spent all of his money in a Kung fu manual. After he witnesses a girl being beaten up he tries to save her, but ends up being thrown to the floor and pissed on. This scene made me cry and is unforgettable. The evil gang in my opinion was actually pretty terrifying especially during their first scene. I think the major turnoff for people and the reason for low ratings is due to the voices being acted in Japanese but dubbed in English. Being the anime fan that I am I am kinda used to off beat voice acting so it did not bother me whatsoever. The action scenes were so badass that no movie can really compare. The scene where the town was attacked and the women and child were about to be burned to death and the buff guy stepped in made my heart skip a beat. The soundtrack was also amazing, with your classic Japanese fighting music and the Axe Gangs theme song. Another thing that I really thought was good and bad at the same time would have to be the CGI. At certain moments like during the fights the CGI was very well don't, but during a majority of the other scenes it was noticeable bad. The overall theme although used many times before was still very well articulated. Anything is possible and good always triumphs over evil. Honestly this is one of my favorite movies and I highly recommend it |
