Prismark10 A famous footballer, Golden Leg misses a spot kick in a crucial football match and a fan breaks his leg.Now crippled and humiliated by the man who told him to throw the match. He comes across a Shaolin martial artist who applies his kung fu skills to to soccer. Soon the Shaolin follower rounds up his old friends with various skills that are now dormant and set a soccer team to take part in prestigious tournament.Under the watchful eye of Golden Leg, their crippled coach, the team could take revenge on the man who ruined his career.This is a wacky, uneven Hong Kong kung fu comedy with some balls. I thought it was pretty awful. Each time it looked like the movie may get better it lapsed into silliness.

stormhawk2018 Great movie that put Stephen Chow on the market. Mix of kung-fu movie, football and comedy. In all three sections, she is successful. Chow who has a pretty good kung-fu domain without being Jet Li, and combines it perfectly with his excellent skills for humor is removed from the sleeve one of the funniest Asian movies I've ever seen. And it is not easy to take humor from Orientals. The serious faces of Chow when he is saying a nonsensical comment are great. It also plays in its favor the gang of secondary that has been sought and that maintain the level of humor of the film. That way you can not get enough of Chow. That is the best thing for a comedy, that not all the scenes of humor fall on the same type, well it does not become weary. Separate mention for how well Chow includes the music in the film for both the scenes of the parties and for the comic scenes. As for the football scenes ... INCREDIBLE. Its spectacularity makes Captain Tsubasa look ridiculous. The parties are raised almost as if they were an action movie and special effects. It's worth watching the movie if only for this. A pleasant surprise, since one was not expecting much of a thing titled Shaolin Soccer as it is logical.The best: The final match against the Evil Team. The worst: Your title can scare many people.The phrase: I did not come to fight ... I came to play.- Stephen Chow.

hjbuhrkall I remember watching this movie when it hit theaters 15 years ago and I remember it as a quite good movie. By experience I know that childhood memories of movies tend to be a bit better than reality, so naturally I was a bit cautious when I decided to revisit Shaolin-Soccer last night. Luckily this is not the case, because this movie is still quite good! I'm not really into movies about sports, martial arts or love, so for me this mixture of soccer and martial arts, sided with a somewhat subtle love story, and topped off with a pinch of goofy humor, creates an refreshingly original and interesting movie about those same subjects. I'm pretty sure I don't always understand the Chinese form of humor, and most likely some of it is also lost in the subtitles as well… but still, it makes me smile, and it makes me cheer for the good guys! In every sense of the words, a movie easy to watch, and easy to enjoy.
