Anyone here actually like Kung Pow! - Enter The Fist??

I finally saw the commentary last night (wasnt as funny as I thought it would be, but still good) and I thought how EVERYONE Ive showed this to has hated this movie. Family friends, everyone. The only other person who likes this movie is my sister. My dad and cousin laughed their asses off at some parts, but didnt laugh at a bunch of other hilarious stuff and just said the movie was stupid and would never want to see it again. My uncle bought it blind and just flat out despised it. This is the main response from friends and anyone else I show this too.

Pretty sad, I thought this movie was hilarious. In fact, I caught some of it on HBO and bought it about a week later on DVD (which is a fantastic edition). I hope Steve stays true to the commentary and makes a sequel eventually.

So come on.. who else has got love for this movie?

I rented this quite a while back. My sister and dad watched it with me, and we all were laughing. Granted, our sense of humor is pretty broad, and I'll laugh at about anything. It was stupid in many parts, but it accomplished what it set out to do: provide me with an entertaining 90 min.

This movie was TERRIBLE. I bought it pre-viewed at BBV and the guy actually let me exchange it for something else cuz he agreed with me on how bad it was.

I liked it. Maybe not enough to buy it over other movies on my list,but I'd grab it out of the $5 bin at Wal-Mart.

Since this is more about the movie than the DVD specifically I'm moving it to the appropriate forum.

It's stupid and silly... and damn funny. The DVD has some great extras. Plus find me a hotter uni-boob villian:

It had its hilarious moments, but they were pretty much offset by the absolutely horribly unfunny moments. So in all, I didn't like it.

Bought this at Wal-Mart on Black Friday for $3.88.

I found it a mix bag, some of it was really funny, while some of it was just stupid.

I'm glad they really cut out most of the scenes with his talking tongue thing as well as the scene where his "manhood" dances.

I guess I like it more because I only paid $4.00 for it, if it was more I probably would be more displeased with it.

I would recommend this to anybody who likes this type of humor.

Isn't this the same guy that did Thumb Wars as well as the Jimmy Neutron cartoon series? I enjoy both of those, so maybe thats why I liked this film as well.

I saw this in the theater and several times on DVD and thought it was hilarious.

A friend of mine bought it for his dad, and he absolutely hated it.. this is a man whose favorite movie is Baby Geniuses... figure that out.

is it a timeless example of cinematic mastery? not by a long shot
is it a pretty funny movie? yeah

but like some comedy movies (cabin boy springs to mind) 70% of the general public probably hate them passionately

I feel the same way. I probably would have liked it better if they didn't feel the need to inject the dumb story in there. I was hoping it would just be an interactive MST3K of sorts, and there some funny stuff like that in the movie. But they tried to actually make it a story, and the story stuff just sucked the life out of it. The new footage, like the CGI cow, was mostly unfunny crap.

It's one of the funniest movies I've seen. Not for the stupid CGI cow or the stupid tongue thing but for the dialouge. If they cut all the obviously stupid stuff out I think more people would like it. It is a very genius concept though to take an old movie and splice in a new actor for the lead and redo the soundtrack. At least I thought so.

Don't take it seriously and you'll have a great time.
And it is funnier if you watch it with friends.
I saw it in the theatres with 3 buddies of mine, laughed the whole time.
The first battle where they kept zooming in was the greatest and the ventriloquists...so many.
