I had heard about Shaolin Soccer (2001) a couple of years ago from a friend, as he had recommended it to me, vivid the particular arrangement some of my tastes ran, and I am ecstatic he did, as it’s a heady mix of the wacky, the absurd, and the impartial slow fun. The movie starts off with a flashback, showing an extremely common Chinese soccer player named Golden Leg Fung accepting money to throw a game from a lackey, and the consequences of his actions, including a severely crippling beating by the crowd after purposely missing a rather easy goal scoring opportunity. Now, it’s many years later, and Fung now works for the gangster organization that had originally paid him off, in a completely demeaning plot. He dreams of coaching, but the once lackey who owns the new champion soccer team and is also chairman of the league, finds this plan completely laughable, and heap further degradations upon Fung. Despondent, Fung ends up meeting a vagabond/shaolin follower called Steel Leg, and formulates a concept to construct a fresh soccer team around this exceptional martial artist. Fung also finds out Steel Leg has enough brothers, all once trained in martial arts, to produce up a team. Each brother has their absorb, recent ability, and soon they originate to practice. During their first practice, the men suffer a fairly brutal beating (this whole hurt, beating, and humiliation factor seems to be a constant theme throughout), but soon rep their shaolin training coming support to them, and turn the tables on their opponents. They enter the tournament, sweeping through the ranks, until finally the meet with the unusual champions, the Inferior Team (I’m not kidding, that’s their name), and meet the ultimate challenge, as the chairman gives his team a decidedly unfair advantage. Will the shaolin players be victorious, or will they suffer the crushing defeat at the hands of the chairman and his contemptible team?

The special effects here are truly fantastic and inventive, making for the most insane soccer playing I’ve ever seen. Imagine someone being able to kick a soccer ball with the same force of shooting it out of a cannon, and with pinpoint accuracy. There is not really a lot of staunch soccer playing, in the weak sense, as with the abilities of the players, the ball mainly zooms around in a very cartoonish manner. Mixing kung fu and soccer is certainly and animated understanding, and provides some really spectacular visuals. The English captioning is really unpleasant, but certainly gave me noteworthy to laugh about, along with the seriously uncommon overacting.
Special features include an option to scrutinize the film with the deleted scenes, the deleted scenes by themselves, a trailer, biographies, a featurette on the making of the film, a photo gallery, and gradual the scenes featurette on how the special effects were made. All in all, Shaolin Soccer is an unsane, over the top comedy steeped in foul action and definitely worth a contemplate if you care to expand your horizons.

I was first introduced to this movie when my girlfriend demanded that we eye it. I’ve never been a fan of martial arts movies, so I was extremely iffy about it. I also am not a fan of subtitles, so this movie was in the trash as far as I was concerned, but being the marvelous boyfriend I am, I decided I could tough through a two hour movie and maybe bag a couple of z’s while I was at it. But after the movie started, my belief almost immedietely changed.

From the opening scene this movie grabs you and doesn’t let go. It is easily one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It is creative and the effects aren’t as cheesy as you might believe. I sat with my jaw dropped for two hours, thinking to myself “How many other movies have I blown off that might be mountainous? “
I can’t wait for the theatrical release where it will be dubbed in English. I hope they approach out with a DVD with an English dub too.
