Beyond Goofy
25 April 2016
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

Goofy, no, it's beyond Goofy. There needs to be a word for how ridiculous this movie is all throughout. The martial arts film is a edit of archive footage that they got the rights too, dubbed everyone of the voices to complete hilarity.

Written, Directed and Stared by Steve Oedekerk. You probably don't recognize his name so I'll list some of his credentials you might know of. Bruce/Evan Almighty, Nutty Professor I and II, Patch Adams, and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.

I don't laugh easy, and I particularly don't laugh at stupid humor. For instance I don't for the life of me understand the draw of Pewdiepie. Normally I laugh at comedians like Kevin Hart and Lewis C.K. but this movie made me laugh. If it can do that to me then it'll probably bust some guts for others.

There are some cultural references in the movie that you'd have to lived through the late 90s and early 2000s to understand. There's a matrix reference, one of the thousands out there with the bullet time bending of the main characters back to avoid the bullets. In this case it's a martial arts cow shooting milk at him. Nuff said.

"WEE-OOH WEE-OOH WEE-OOH!" - Ling One of the best catch phrases in comedy. I'm probably going to appear as some sort of sociopath (more than normal) saying that at random moments because it's stuck in my head. Good luck getting that ear worm out.

Verdict: Cult Classic. Definite watch. It's free on HBO, at the moment, if you got it.
