Shaolin Soccer (Spoilers)

[Surferdude]

Anybody see it?
Its a pretty funny movie. I think the funniest part was when they're practicing and 6th small brother wants his eggs so bad he eats them out of 3rd big brothers mouth!!!!hehehehe:D

[Sho]

Seen it. It was quite funny, but the egg part was disgusting. :eek:

[Surferdude]

[shaolinboxer]

[Surferdude]

Yea i thought it was funny when mui went to the wrong goal side and hit her head. Hehehehehe:D
Or when the girl walking down the street slips on the banana!!!

[GeneChing]

I just heard from Miramax that Shaolin Soccer's U.S. release has been pushed back to August. It was scheduled fro April.

[Surferdude]

Go back to Mars, the earth is too Dangerous!

'nuff said.

[Surferdude]

Hahahahahaha that was a funny part too.:D

[kenso]

I think the best scene in the whole movie is that surreal bit when everyone breaks out into a dance routine from a Michael Jackson video.

[Surferdude]

Or how bout when, 1st little brother is in the store helping the old lady, then he jumps and knocks everything over. hehehehe!!!
That movie is a classic!!!:D :) :D

I like it when Stephen Chiao bursts into song after watching the shy hottie make steamed bread with her taiji. And when he's describing the greatness of kungfu to the coach, and suddenly the coach is dressed as the shaolin abbot Chiao was describing and starts taking off the robes right there in the street revealing his regular clothes underneath. And the guy who carries a wrench and hammer onto the soccer field with him but it's okay because he's a mechanic. And when Chiao beats up an alley full of thugs with a soccer ball. And...

Okay, I love the whole dang movie, alright?

[Guile]

I loved that movie!

[sn0w8lade]

I love this movie!!!!!!!!!

Real funny bit when they playin the female team wit fake facial hair an they shocked how good they are but stephen chow (sp?) says it's just the special effects

:D :D :D :D

[hasayfu]

OK, I think it was this movie.

Isn't there a scene where some guy strikes a mantis pose and he says something to the affect, "don't ever do that, you embarass mantis"?
Who can describe that one better?

[Guile]

I dont recall that scene

[kenso]

It's the scene where Chow is confronting the guys who beat up him and his dai sihing at the club. The very last guy is a skinny little dude who strikes a mantis pose and ****s (I'm assuming from fear). Then comes one of the funniest dialogs in the movie:
Chow: "Did you study Tong Long?"
Skinny mantis guy: "Yes."
Chow: "Don't ever disrespect Shaolin again."
SMG: "Okay"
Chow: "Do you have any coins?"
SMG: "I have only 30 cents"
Chow: "Give them to me"
SMG: "Are you stealing my coins?"
Chow: "Yes"
SMG: Cries like a little kid

Hehehehe another funny part was when the taji girl(forgot her name:o ) was getting a makeover and the ugly man lookin girl was pickin her nose and wipes it on her back!!!!:D

I saw a preview of it in the theatres a few weeks back when I went to go see Bulletproof Monk (*shiver*). I wanted to cry, it look...well...*******ized. Dubbing didn't seem to fit, words used "Why should a pretty face be covered by the hair?" and then "Gah! Now you look like E.T.!". I lowered my head in shame.

I'll still see it opening weekend, but be happy in knowing I've seen the Hong Kong version.

Rented Shaolin Soccer this weekend. It was a lot better than I expected. The special effects were pretty cool.

Now you have to check out Steven Chow's "The God of Cookery", which is my favorite of his to date. A little bit of kung fu mixed in there (a brief scenario where Steven is "trained" by the 18 Bronzemen at a Shaolin temple), and some really cheeky humor.
It's not as big budget as Shaolin Soccer, but I think the humor works better. I especially enjoyed Karen Mok's character -- the makeup crew have to be commended for making a beauty like her appear so homely, but it is part of her character's charm, much like Vicky Zhao Wei initially in Shaolin Soccer, so it works.

Might have to dig a little to find it a video store, but it's worth it!

For the record, I wasn't too pleased with how Miramax handled the release of Shaolin Soccer here in the states -- I saw the DVD at Blockbuster the other day and cringed when I read the tagline on the box -- "Get ready to kick some grass" :(

I heard the American DVD release has both the dubbed cut and the original subtitled version; is that true?

[MasterKiller]

yup. Both versions.
