![Shaolin Soccer [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rneTUXVpL.jpg)
Product Description Fusing ancient martial arts with hard-hitting physical comedy and the high-flying energy of competitive sports, 'Shaolin Soccer' is written by, directed by and stars Stephen Chow. Dedicated Shaolin practitioner Sing (Stephen Chow) is determined to re-unite his brothers to apply the ancient art of Shaolin to a modern sport. With the help of ex-football champion, Fang, the group of unlikely footballers are whipped into shape and train hard to earn a place in the National Football Tournament. The brothers battle their way through the rounds with unusual moves such as 'Iron Head' and 'Hooking Foot', getting closer and closer to the ultimate challenge of the National final. It is her that they will face Team Evil - the most ruthless team ever assembled. .co.uk Review Computer generated special effects have seldom been so giddy as in Shaolin Soccer, a gleeful fusion of kung fu and a classic Bad News Bears sports story. A former soccer star--whose "golden leg" was broken by a hired mob--assembles a team of former students of Shaolin martial arts, whose assorted skills (indicated by their nicknames, like Mighty Steel Leg and Iron Head) lend themselves to the swift interplay of the world's most popular game. Along the way, the team's leader (Hong Kong comic superstar Stephen Chow) meets a sticky bun baker (Vicki Zhao) whose kung fu is the equal of any of his teammates. Shaolin Soccer is supremely silly--in the final match, their opponents are called Team Evil--but that's part of the fun. American movies rarely achieve this perfect balance of the absurd and the sincere. A delight. --Bret Fetzer

Fantastic movie, no English dub.
Although I love this film, there is no English dub. I should have checked before buying but there are subtitles.

No Own Goal
I was a little apprehensive about this movie, after all kung fu football? Even more left field than the average baseball movie! But its a hoot, never a dull moment, even if its obvious what is going to happen at the end. A ragtag team of dreamers, disillusioned drifters and failed entrepreneurs, with an alcoholic crippled ex-footballer as a coach take on the all conquering Team Evil. Now what do you think happens? This is pure escapist fun from Stephen Chow and his team of usual suspects. No great acting on show here, simple one dimensional characters and a hackneyed storyline. Yet carried off with so much verve and panache its impossible not to love. This movie does exactly what it says on the tin. But watch the cantonese version, its longer, makes more sense and the jokes are even better than the stilted english delivery. And thats not even mentioning the incredible action and stunts.............

a must see for the fun of it!!
this film is full of belly laughs right from the opening credits. Stephen Chow's unique style is one not to be missed and here is a film which will delight and bring a smile to even the grumpiest of old men!!! Here we see Chow employ the skills learned in the Shaolin temple to soccer with hilarious results. A film i would certainly recommend and if you liked Kungfu Hustle then you will love this. Surreal and the special effects used to the maximum take nothing away from what is a very very funny film.Can be viewed in both cantonese and english but the english version misses out a few scenes.
