Shaolin Soccer [DVD]

Watching it over and over and over again.
This movie is so funny and the stunts are incredible. My family watches this over and over and over again. We just can’t get enough of it. It is original and creative. It is hilarious and well done! Kudos to whoever made this film. Watch it with your kids or watch it on your own . You don’t have to be a huge soccer fan to enjoy watching this great movie. It bursting with action!

Better than baseball
Ever since the creation of the ball kung fu has never been the same! From the Heeky kick to the Heeky Tummy, never has anyone seen moves the likes of these! Ronaldinho, yeah right! Heeky #1! 1800-LearnShoalinToday!

Found the English dub
Is it the best movie? No. Is it entertaining? Possibly. The thing that I enjoyed or found amusing about the movie is the English dub version. The way the actors say certain phrases or accentuate things made it funny. The original dub with subtitles is definitely not the same and can make the movie seem flat. If you enjoyed the English dub version of the film, then this is the one you have been looking for.

Stephen Chow is remarkable!
This is a hilarious and heart-warming tale of a group of downtrodden kung fu brothers who find new life in the world of football (soccer). It features the dynamic and hugely entertaining Stephen Chow, a man who makes his comrades in Western success Jackie Chan and Jet Li pale in comparison. Where Li is wooden and dull and Chan tries far too hard, Chow has an indifference that is refreshing. In some ways similar to his later offering, “Kung Fu (Hustle),” although less dark and violent, this movie is suitable for the whole family, particularly when you factor in the poignant lesson of avoiding prejudice.The action is over-the-top CGI magic and makes for many of the belly laughs, but the romantic subplot between Chow’s dreamer and the ugly duckling bun maker is a sweet and unique concept. The mere fact that Chow creates a character that sees beauty beneath the scarred exterior of the skilled yet self-doubting street vendor is a testament to all that Hollywood fails to understand about their audience.I could watch this movie over and over and always get a laugh, get a warm feeling in my heart, and get a thrill out of the effortless kung fu magic of the extraordinarily gifted Stephen Chow.

Ich mag diesen Schauspieler. Man muss den chin Humor verstehen und darf den Kopf auch mal ausschalten. Die Special-Effects für die damalige Zeit sind der Kracher. Klare Empfehlung!

Vicki Zhao and Stephen Chow head out this wacki comedy that mixes soccer and KungFu on the field of battle — a soccer field. Innocent Chinese humour is refreshing — and at times tad odd to Western audiences — but like Bruce Lee movies, this one has a message about how to live life with the principles of the martial arts.The DVD contains BOTH versions of the movie; the 2001 original Chinese release, and the heavily redone MIRAMAX version intended for theatre release in 2003 — which features English being added to signs, 20 minutes removed (mostly Vicki Zhao story, and violence) and English dub (Stephen Chow does his own voice, and the others are VERY well done, but not the actors). Surprisingly, the caption versus dub is VERY different, probably due to matching the lips as best as possible.*SPOILER BELOW*The secondary story with Vicki Zhao (Wei Zhao in credits); playing Mui (Moo-ie). Obviously, they lucked out with this actress as her story is VERY effective and touching — all about surface versus inner beauty; and perception (those who see past their eyes). The edited out part has to do with people making (pretty cruel) fun of her when she unsuccessfully tries makeup and dressing up.Really interesting to watch both versions (outtake footage at the end of the Chinese version), and even turning the dubbing on and off.Shaolin Soccer — highly recommend. Pretty violent for YOUNG children, and they have scary parts of how “Team Evil” is created by the bad guys.

Très contente il l’a envoyé avé sons tant et très contente bonne journée
