I'm bored, so I was just wondering... how here has seen the incredibly funny Hong Kong film titled "Shoalin Soccer"?
I believe Miramax bought rights to it and it's coming to the US soon, but it's avalible on multi-reigion DVD at some import stores now...

Hmmmm where did your friend hear that from? I don't think there are 3 endings...There is another version whereby after the movie you get to see Director's cuts and NG scenes, but it is still the happy ending...

I did. I don't usually like Stephen Chow movies, but Shaolin Soccer was great! One of the funniest movie I've seen in a while. Pretty impressive special effects too. One of my friend showed it to us some time ago, and needless to say, all of us who saw it had to buy DVD afterwards.

I have. It's a great movie, though I think it took too long to unfold in the beginning. It's a nice movie to have in your collection :P

Yep, it's a very good movie (even when I don't like football (soccer) too much). But the first half is very sloooow...

Hooray! I'm so glad other people here have seen the movie, I first saw bits of it in my computer class last year (because it had digital effects or something I guess) and I knew then and there I must own it.
Kung Fu Socccer? That's a stupid name, but I stll await it's US release (I want to see any sub-title changes they might have made)
FUN FACT: My dad went to grade school with the actor who played Hung (the owner of Evil Team)

FUN FACT 2: The actor who played Hung has a son who is now a famous artist in Hong Kong...and he is currently dating Faye Wong (the singer of the theme song to Final Fantasy 8), who is 11 years older than him...
I did not find it slow moving for the first half but more for the second half...coz it is the first half that had most of the hilarious dialgoue...
Anyone noted the "Bruce Lee" lookalike in the movie? Wow he really looked so alike to him! =)

Re: Shaolin Soccer
SS kicks all sorts of ass. But this is old news folks. Some of us have known about this awesome movie since last October, and some of us even earlier than that. ;)

It's coming over here? That's good. They're changing the name to "Kung Fu Soccer"? That's bad. >:(
Hopefully they'll fix the subtitles though. The region-less DVD translation is pretty amateurish.
> FUN FACT 2: The actor who played Hung has a son who is now a famous artist in Hong Kong...and he is currently dating Faye Wong (the singer of the theme song to Final Fantasy 8), who is 11 years older than him...
Shit! Hung doesn't look too young himself. Hown old is Faye Wong? o_O
> I did not find it slow moving for the first half but more for the second half...coz it is the first half that had most of the hilarious dialgoue...
The first half is funnier, but it's also slower. It's all build-up for when the team actually starts playing.
> Anyone noted the "Bruce Lee" lookalike in the movie? Wow he really looked so alike to him! =)
Yup! That's probably why they picked him! ^_^

Hung's son is 21 years old this year. Add 11 to that and you get Faye Wong's age...=)
Maybe it is the bad subtitle that makes the first half slow-moving...ah well...I personally like the part where the 2 monks sing Karaoke...heh...^_^

I liked God of Cookery more personally, but I guess I'm in the minority :p.

I have yet to see that one -_-, BUT!
Miramax bought rights to that one too I believe, as well as another Steven Crow film (God, I hope I spelled his name right)
Sad thing is I bet they're going to pretend Shaolin Soccer, God of Cookery, and the third film are some form of triology and bill them as such.

Yo...Add me to the list of minorites too...=) Actually I enjoy Stephen Chow's movie a lot, probably becoz I don't really take them seriously...For GOC, I like the part where he invented the bouncing meatballs....
What I don't really like is that he tries to make mockery out of something serious, like "Journey to the West"...though I laugh so much about the part where he (the Monkey God) and his master sang the song "Only You"...(Yes they sang an English song in a movie set in Ancient China)
