Balls of Fury
New comedy with Christopher Walken. Kinda in the vein of King Fu Hustle.
Looks fricken awesome

Trailers only seem to be on Yahoo and YouTube at the moment.
Well worth the watch.

Looks like "Dodgeball" with ping pong balls.

Just watched it again. I gotta say, that's the best end of trailer moment I can remember seeing.

This is that movie with the Japanese guy from TV series "Heroes". ---looking forward to it. It reminds me of Enter the Dragon but with Ping Pongs.

It may even be the first time I'm not tired of seeing the bullet time effect used since The Matrix.

I actually thought the trailer was a bit of a letdown. I had heard about the concept when this went into production and thought it sounded great...but the trailer didn't even make me laugh once... it just looks kind of weird. I'll see anything Walken is in, but I'm checking my expectations.

The trailer couldn't even get a smile from me. I think it looks really lame.

It looks silly but then again I did laugh at the trailer so who knows, it could be a funny flick.

I just saw the trailer for this on the new Trailer Park Boys DVD. It looks like a cross between Forrest Gump, Kung Pow and A Fistful of Yen. Looks hilarious!

It looks OK. Honestly a lot of the gags could be from a Wayans brother movie or Epic Movie 2. I might give this a chance, but I'm not knocking down the theatre door to see it.

I thought the trailer was okay but I don't think I'll be spending money to see it in the theatre.

Edit - You can also catch the trailer in HD on the Apple website.

LOL, I thought this was a joke or something when I saw the thread title. This actually looks pretty funny.

Best parts are in the trailer and there are about 10 good laughs in 90 minutes. The first half is a lot better than the last half, but overall, this is a pretty big disappointment overall. I'd say wait for video or a cheap matinee.

Agreed. It was OK, but it kinda went nowhere fast.

Sounds like decent cable fodder. I'll wait the 4 months.

Chris Walken never turns anything down, does he?

I really want to see if after watching the trailer at the movies. Entertainment Weekly just hated it. Received a big fat F. Critic said Walken looked bored.

I've heard that if Walken READS a script, he will do the movie. He doesn't know how to say NO. Of course, getting HIM to actually READ the script takes smooth talking to his agent I'm sure, but that's what I've heard, if he READS it - he will come.

He did an interview on The Daily Show a few years back where he said just that, that his profession is acting and will take almost any acting job that is offered to him.
