You've decided to remember Shaolin Soccer for later. You can see all your remembered films here.
Summary: At Kung Fu, they're masters. But when it comes to soccer, they're total disasters. Now, the only way to win...is to believe in Shaolin. (Miramax Films)
Stephen Chow's breakout mainstream hit, it deserves all the success and praise lavished on it. Funny, action packed, with a concept so high, it's stratospheric: kung fu monks play crazy ass soccer.
Shaolin Soccer is just entertaining enough to be worthy of a recommendation for those in the mood for no-brain sports excitement. I won't go so far as to say it's a good film, but if you want some laughs and something to talk about around the water cooler tomorrow, you probably won't find a more unique movie experience than this one.

A true story about China's emergence on the global stage as a soccer...ahem, football powerhouse through the use of ancient spiritual training...not prenatal DNA engineering or rare panda penis extract.
In my opinion the peak of Chow's career. it has the nonstop absurdity of all his earlier work but also starts to show more confident direction and style and stronger supporting characters. on top of that, it's one of the funniest films i've ever seen.
Probably one of the most innovative, original, and hilarious movies I have seen since Shawn of the Dead. Do not let the title fool you: this is a great movie.
A completely over the top Kung Fu movie with crazy powers and abilities. The movie is half silly slap stick and the other half is pure nonsense, but it is good humored fun through most of it. I do however prefer the movie Kung Fu Hustle over this. I would have liked for it to be dubbed in English since the subtitles were terrible and were distracting. An OK movie if you can tolerate all the silly special effects and humor that is sometimes Asian specific.
