Premise
A bunch of shaolin monks learn futbol.
Who should watch
Martial arts fans. Stephen Chow fans.
Thoughts
This was the lesser-known predecessor to 'Kung Fu Hustle' So expect a lot of entertaining zaniness and inventive kung fu. To my surprise, I was actually moved by the simple yet effective revelation scene.
While there was more futbol than kung fu, and the pacing was somewhat choppy, it was almost as fun as 'Kung Fu Hustle'.
What I would change
Made the love story less creepy weird.
