Need movies similar to Kung Pow
I've always like this, but finally had my 8 and 6 year olds watch it with me. They liked the cover, but I never thought they would enjoy the humor in the movie. They absolutely loved it and I would love to watch some similar ones with them. Any suggestions?

What's Up? Tiger Lily comes to mind, but thats because it is similarly an older movie redubbed with an english track (tho Woody didn't put himself in the movie like is done w/ Kung Pow). Tho What's Up is an antique these days.
That's really tough to say, Kung Pow is, I hate to say it, kind of unique.

I'd almost think that a show like MXC or Kung Faux would be closer then either B.H. Ninja, Ricky-o, or Shaolin Soccer. Those would simply be funny (your definition on what's funny may vary widely) kung fu type movies, as opposed to Kung Pow's slaughtering of an older film. What's Up Tiger Lilly sounds pretty accurate to simply redoing dialogue to a film...
Kung Faux sample:

MXC sample:

Yes, the 30-minute long "Fistful of Yen" segment that's a hysterical spoof of Enter the Dragon would be perfect for what he's looking for. But ONLY that segment of the movie (easy to do with DVD as long as he goes straight to that scene and then remembers to eject the disc as soon as that segment is over).

They do love MXC. Okay, looks like there may not be a good alternative. But some day they will be older and we will watch MST3K together. They don't like that yet.

Kung Pow is terrible. Kung Fu Hustle is divine. Do your kids a favor, dave.
