If you like Shaolin you will love this movie.
About The Film's Success:
This film was the undisputed box-office champ this summer in Hong Kong, bringing in more than $7.5 Million (that's more than 5 times what Rush Hour 2 grossed in Hong Kong!), and is considered Stephen Chow's best chance yet at serious crossover appeal to mainstream American audiences.
The film features jaw-dropping digital effects by brilliant HK workshop Centro Digital Pictures (you'll remember their inspired effects work from such Andrew Lau films as "The Storm Riders", "Legend Of Speed", "Man Called Hero", and more), and guarantees a great time for everyone.
A Brief Synopsis:
Shaolin Kung Fu proselytizer Stephen Chow unites with a soccer coach wannabe to assemble the ultimate underdog soccer team (think "Seven Samurai" meets "The Matrix" meets "The Waterboy"). Combining conventional sportsmanship with ancient martial arts, they will show their soccer rivals ("The Evil Team") that they're not to be trifled with.
About The DVD:
The Shaolin Soccer DVD is presented in Anamorphic Widescreen format, with DD5.1 AND DTS audio tracks. The disc is packed with special features, including an extended version of the film never before seen, a 20-minute documentary, and plenty of behind the scenes footage of the special effects wizards and actors doing their thing.
