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.

My friend won a pair of balls of fury tightie whities at ComicCon this year. So jealous.

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.

Aisha Tyler looked good wiping her mouth.

LOL! Funniest trailer I've seen in a while . . . this looks great!

"You don't hit flys . . .You hit bees!!!" HAHAHAHAH!!!

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

looks pretty funny. plus its got walken and ping pong is a funny sport to watch.

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.

MASAMUNE2 11-09-06 08:16 PM

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

Giantrobo 12-09-06 12:15 AM

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!

The Bus 03-18-07 09:31 AM

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.

LorenzoL 03-18-07 09:36 AM

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.

A-aron 08-30-07 11:26 AM

any reviews?

Deadpool 08-30-07 11:32 AM

As silly as this looks...I really want to see it :)

mdc3000 08-30-07 12:12 PM

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.

SPiRAL 08-30-07 05:23 PM

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

Sweet Baby James 08-30-07 10:15 PM

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

Charlie Goose 08-31-07 10:08 AM

Chris Walken never turns anything down, does he?

big whoppa 08-31-07 10:38 AM

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.

mdc3000 08-31-07 10:45 AM

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.
