Steve Oedekerk is a fascinating character. Immediately after Kung Pow, he went on to help create Jimmy Neutron and then spent several years making those infamous "thumb films" that spoofed popular movies like Blair Witch and Batman but with thumbs. Those were what actually introduced me to Kung Pow since they showed them on Cartoon Network randomly now and again.
The Thumb movies are tragically underrated. When I try to describe fat people, there are so many people who don't know what the thumb characters looked like that the humor in the comparison is lost.
I once heard someone describing the actor in Solo: A Star Wars Story as a human thumb, and I couldn't help but think of Hand Duet from Thumb Wars. Those thumb films were a staple of the wild days of file sharing, I downloaded them of Kazaa or Limewire or something back in the day.
I love Jimmy Neutron, one of my favorite Nickelodeon shows from the 90's/2000's growing up, plus Steve Odekerk's Barnyard movie was also one of my favorite guilty pleasures growing up too because of the music being my favorite part about the movie imo :)
The thumb films were before Kung Pow. Thumb Wars randomly came on TV one night when I was a kid, and I was hooked on Steve Oedekerk forever after. Shame he's generally regarded as a talentless hack in Hollywood.
Kung Fu Hustle goes beyond being just a great comedy. It's a great _movie,_ in general. The moment the Three Masters reveal themselves to the Axe Gang, you know you're watching a masterpiece.
The line me and my friends still quote to this day, "Let me know... if you see... a RadioShack." For whatever reason that line was so out of left field we just couldn't stop laughing.
Every single person has heard audio of this in at least a bunch of parodies and flash cartoons online, at some point in their lifetime. Kung Pow Enter The Fist is *that* good. "Internet humor before internet humor" isn't too far off for what it is as a movie.
You either get the lighthearted jabs at old kung fu movies (bad audio mixing, terrible voicework, bad translations with lip movements, odd and wacky sound effects) and love the movie, or it completely goes over your head and you think it's a dumb comedy that fails to be funny.
Kung pow was the first sucessful abridged movie the world had ever seen. And it's despite the fact Kung Pow has a longer runtime than Tiger and Crane Fists.
I saw this when it was out in theaters along with my mother and her boyfriend. My mother didn't laugh once and her boyfriend fell asleep. Me on the other hand laughed from start to end alongside one other guy in the theater laughed our asses off to the point we got looks from other people in the theater who weren't getting it. My mother didn't want to go see it but made a deal that we see Kung pow as my movie and then watched harry potter afterwards as hers. Fast forward 22 years later i'm in my 30s and my Mother is turning 60 this year and to this day holds this movie over my head but has warmed up to it because of Ling Wiiu noise. We still talk about it positively since she said it was one of the few times she remembers from raising a reclusive kid like me where I was smiling so much while watching a movie and she thanks Kung Pow for that. This movie spawned my growing love of old Chinese Kung fu films and my love of Monty Python at 14 years old and has held strong since. Fantastic movie.
Uncles loved those older Chiense/Japanese poorly translated movies. They exposed us to Kung pow. My mother too thinks its the dumbest movie alive. But will 1000% "weeoweee" every once inawhile. The movie has that good of terrible writing.
Thank you for brining up the ghost stories thing. Steven Foster is someone who hates anime and used ghost stories as a way to try and elevate himself at the sacrifice of actually doing his job. As fans of Beserk, his butchering of the Guin Saga dub should be reason enough to keep him out of the industry.
Maybe i'm wrong, but I think he says that IN COMPARISON to Mel Brooks' other works. It's reminiscent of, when a friend once stated how much he enjoyed and instantly loved Hail Ceasar, and i casually replied with "it's alright". As it turned out, it's the first Coen brothers film he saw.
I watched this movie again with my brother not too long ago and my brother had this to say... "This is SO stupid...but it's clearly intended to be stupid, so that's not a strike against it."
An aside regarding Ghost Stories. Over here in Latin America Ghost Stories was dubbed following the original Japanese scripts and became a beloved horror anime that almost everyone interested in the paranormal would watch. So you can imagine the fucking whiplash my ass was subjected too when I found out the US dub
The part where the villain was in the river singing "Swinging ma chain, swinging ma chain" had me in tears with laughter. I ached for ages after that. Classic.
The backstory of Master Pang's friend talking about a prophecy before killing a dog with a nasty fart almost made me piss myself with laughter as a kid, and even writing about it now, it never fails to make me laugh like an idiot.
If you like Kung Pow, then you will love ‘most extreme elimination challenge’ or MXC. Probably one of the greatest shows from the early 2000s. Pretty sure all episodes are on YT
When I was in middle school with my first job money my brother and I rented this movie and watched it... hating it as a failure of a movie... but since was a 3 day rental tried it again and was the funniest cinematic experience we ever seen, quoting it for yrs. If u don't laugh at the "oh, so cute... bye, bye!" You are in the wrong place of mind for this comedic masterpiece
Meet the Spartans was terrible, but it did have one really funny joke when they're all standing over the traitor's corpse. "Traitero was a traitor?!..."

Absolutely true btw.
@@dharamsoni8526 His biggest issue though is more so how a lot of people who only know the parody pretend to be familiar with the original story when they're not remotely the same thing.
Something I heard that I found interesting is that the actor playing Wimp Lo is actually a legitimate martial artist who was in low budget Kung Fu movies. If that's true, that just makes him playing an incompetent doofus even funnier to me.
I remember my pops showing me this shit to me when I was like 6 or 7, We still quote it to each other to this day. It's been stuck in my head rent free ever since, absolute gem of a shitpost lmao.
I remember a decade+ ago people would constantly post "stream that film, if you're so great!". People got sick of it pretty quickly (one guy said he streamed it 3 times in one day) but it was funny seeing the cow fight with guiles theme.
I absolutely love that you covered Kung Pow, thank you it is a movie that is incredibly near and dear to my heart and I have been a huge fan of it for 21 years, I still watch it a couple times a year, I own a physical and digital copy of it through Vudu I was 13 years old in 2003, my parents are divorced and I had just moved in with my Dad, we went to Movie Gallery to pick out some movies for the weekend. I picked out Kung Pow, my Dad and I both immediately fell in love with it. My Dad is gone now, but all the memories of that weekend, the movie, and the years of quoting the movie to each other stays with me "Again with the squeaky shoes!" Great work as always
I watched this as a kid, I actually still remember one gig about the MC being so invested in showing off his king fu moves that he ends up popping a vein. Definitely would watch that again. Thanks AlmightyLoli for unearthing a very fond memory of my early childhood
"Swingin a chain.....Swingin a chain...." 😂 "Open da mouth" 😂😂 The end credits with all the scenes from the possible sequel with Ling flying through the air.... "WEEEE-OOOO!" 🤣🤣🤣
I wish Oedekerk the best, which is why I don't want a spiritual sequel from him. We've seen this too many times where a 20 year span between a cult classic gets a sequel or another movie is made by the same director touching back to their roots, and it just doesn't hit the same. If it released 19 years ago, it'd be peak, but it at best just doesn't age well or at worse makes the original look worse. Sam Raimi is probably the biggest example. Guy's a good writer/director, but when he went back to his horror roots with Drag Me To Hell he got shafted, even though it's still a pretty good movie. I want Oedekerk to re-release Kung Pow in an age that'll appreciate it, double up on the money it should've gotten. I don't want to see him bankrupt himself with Ravioli Western: A Spoonful of Euros.
Thank you for bringing back the Shirt gag! I've been wondering where it went since it's my favorite ad for shirts. Better than IH's Nord VPN ads, even.

I miss when DVDs had full-motion interactive menus, special features, and hidden Easter Eggs. That was part of the magic of that step in the evolution of home media. Nowadays they are just glorified VHSes that you don't have to "Be Kind, Rewind", and maybe you'll get subtitles if you're lucky...
@IaMaPh1991 Yeah. I noticed that with Blu-rays not having this and maybe an episode list and subs. If one is lucky there may still be deleted scenes or interviews.
One of the best memories I have of this movie other than watching it with my brother and laughing our tails off is when I eventually showed it to my friends in high school and I was in one of those positions where you’re about to show something you think it’s really funny and deer to your heart so obviously I was nervous that they wouldn’t like it and thankfully, it was exactly like I pictured it going down with my friends, bursting out and laughter at every single joke that I thought was funny too. It was a good time.
Before Wimp Lo and the Chosen one fight, an alien like elephant just pops out of nowhere and that has been engrained in my brain where I burst out randomly in laughter thinking of it.
This movie also released the hardest remix of Black Betty that I have enjoyed to this day and I still enjoy the scene with the boombox guy just vibing to an absolute banger.
"I must apologize for Wimp Lo, he is an idiot. We purposely trained him wrong as a joke"

Before Wimp Lo and the Chosen one fight, an alien like elephant just pops out of nowhere and that has been engrained in my brain where I burst out randomly in laughter thinking of it.
The entire exchange with the store clerk from this movie lives rent free in my head to this day
This movie also released the hardest remix of Black Betty that I have enjoyed to this day and I still enjoy the scene with the boombox guy just vibing to an absolute banger.
I love your Channel, especially the Berserk Stuff. Keep it up Man!
Three of them.
THREE.
