Kung pow! They even had a silly thing after the credits that i thought was real but it never came to fruition =(
updates have been coming out all the way up to 2022, so who knows?
I'd also love to see this sequel.
It's one of the projects I check every year or so, kung pow still makes me laugh.
As a fan of genuine hong kong kung fu cinema growing up, this remains one of the few films I had to stop watching about 15 minutes in—was clear whoever made the movie had never actually seen a kung fu film. To add insult to injury the dvd decided to hide itself under a pile of magazines causing me and my brother to pay extra on a massive late fee because of it. I hate that movie.
Wow that's the worst reason to hate a movie i have ever seen. "as a fan of star wars, it was clear that the makers of spaceballs have no idea how to make a scifi movie."
It was completely devoid of humor, and was clearly written by someone who had never actually watched the thing they were satirizing. I feel like that’s a pretty good reason to not like it.
There are a million genuine articles of badly dubbed, stupid and hilariously cheap kung fu movies out there, Kung Pow was like if Coke decided to make an off-brand Mr. Pibb.
It's a bit odd to claim the guy who reedited and remixed an entire existing kung fu film never watched a kung fu film. Like his work or not, he pretty evidently saw the thing.
