Shaolin Soccer ( Siu lam juk kau )

I'm not here to fight, I'm here to play soccer!

Stephen Chow really does add a unique spin on the martial arts genre with really funny special effects, creating comedy a step up from Jackie Chan's work. Stephen Chow stars as Sing, a Shaolin martial arts master who wants to spread the word about kung fu. With kung fu, a person could cut leaves from trees much faster than with the tools currently used. With kung fu, a girl slipping on a banana peel could easily land on her feet and keep on walking. What he wants is a fun way for people to be interested in the art. The storyline never loses its power to move the audience as Chow integrates wonderfully unexpected and original comedic images, from the kickoff of the tournament to Mui's dramatic march during the final match.
Even if you aren't a fan of Soccer this is a movie that you will enjoy.
