Kung Pow: Enter the Fist Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
keesnaylon 5.9?!? This hardly feels like a proper rating in my opinion, this movie was well made, and took as long as lord of the rings to make, I have NEVER in my entire life laughed as hard at a movie as I did this (with maybe the exception of Borat), This movie can be watched over and over again, with no more than 30 second having been passed without a joke being said. The reason the rating is so low is because 45% of users rated this movie as a "10/10", which actually get's rejected by this site, so if you agree, please vote this a 9, and write a review, this is easily my favorite movie of all time, sit down, open a bag of popcorn, and get ready for 2 hours of the funniest kung fu you've ever seen (then come back and rate this a 9).
seiterman7 Kung-Pow is a woefully underrated film. The type of comedy the film contains is certainly not for everyone, but it works wonderfully for those familiar with older kung-fu movies. This movie is like what the "X Movie," series (think "Disaster Movie," "Epic Movie,", etc.) would be if those movies actually bothered to poke fun at the genres they are named after instead of making inane, unfunny pop-culture references.Roughly half of the film's humor won't make any sense at all without prior understanding of kung-fu movies. Bad lip-syncing/dubbing, over-the-top fight scenes and low-quality editing are all targets of parody in this movie and the end results are hilarious. Combining this with generally silly characters and some dumb comedy just works.If you're looking for a comedy movie that isn't too intelligent and you're familiar with kung-fu films, you will probably enjoy this movie a lot. If you aren't, then you should go watch a couple of those kung-fu films then watch this.
Death-2-trolls I got sucker into going to see this movie in the big screen. Wasn't that bad of a movie, but certainly wasn't worth the eight bucks I paid to go see and not be able to pause or forward. When the movie hit DVD, I managed to see it first hand and here is the review of the movie.First off, the storyline is the typical Chosen one whose family is killed and he gets revenge. Of course nothing wrong with that setting but the presentation of the movie was bland and colorless.Graphically, since the movie is using Crane and Tiger Fist as its movie, I must praise that the producer Steve managed to bring this old movie into the DVD colors and now begging to see the original movie in in clear crisp color and sound.Now here is the problem with the movie, there is just way too many sexual jokes, testicle talks, and some scenes that was just so stupid the comedy fell flat. And this is also the strength of the movie because the producer purposely made the movie stupid and silly which some people can laugh at it, while others just look and give the WTF face.Kung Pow is one of those movies that you probably won't watch unless you got friends who just want to have belly laughs and get drunk. This isn't a movie where boyfriend/girlfriend could really watch unless they want to also get some cheap laughs, but then there is another movie called Kung Fu Hustle that has the same slapstick comedy, but is a lot better then this turkey.Other then that, either buy it cheap on Amazon or rent it, don't know if you like to have this movie in your collection.
poe426 In KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, director John Landis gave us one of the funniest kung fu movie parodies ever, FISTFUL OF YEN (a take off on ENTER THE DRAGON). While there have been a number of notable kung fu comedies in the intervening years (MY YOUNG AUNTIE, SHAOLIN BASEBALL, SHAOLIN SOCCER, KUNG FU HUSTLE, etc.), there haven't been a whole lot of parodies. Enter... KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST. Steve Oederkirk actually manages to pull off a GAME OF DEATH-type of digital extraction, excising none other than Wang Yu himself from his own movie. In the context of Oederkirk's context (contextually speaking), it works beautifully. Of particular interest are two deleted scenes that shouldn't've been deleted: in the first, The Chosen One (Oederkirk) is being given the Bush-Cheney-Rumsefeld (mis)treatment like a sit-in protester on Wall Street. We see here a spider-like woman crawling around on the floor and back into her cage. It's a creepy scene not unlike one often finds in kung fu movies of the era (the 1970s). The second deleted scene shows The Chosen One using his middle leg to do everything from push-ups to pounding his opponents; it's funny and should've been left in (in my opinion). All told, some good, clean kung fu comedy. Recommended.
