Shaolin Soccer
This is a bizarre, enjoyable film about the magic of kung fu, and the magic of cheap special effects. The film is quite silly, and never takes itself too seriously. It feels a lot like the scary movie franchise, except the gross out humor is at maybe a level two, and a level 10. But there are some moments that made me guffaw, although I think this film was directed to a much younger and a much more Chinese audience. A good thing about the film is that the mission of the main character is just to promote kung fu, doesn't care if he becomes rich or famous as long as people are using kung fu. It's a movie where the main character is not conflicted by his mission at all, nice change of pace.
