Sadly Over-hyped

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Apparently the person above is a narrow-minded Nazi who lets stuff get to him to easily and needs Prozac if he's going to let a little movie ruin his entire week. I thought it was a pretty good movie. I warn you though, if you aren't into the Chinese Kung Fu movies (such as the Chinese Bruce Lee, Jet Li & Jackie Chan movies) you may not get why a lot of the jokes are funny(like the person above). Its a parody of those. If you do like those types, you'll enjoy this. I also recommend Kung Pow 1 & 2.Another thing I really didn't understand is why they give it an R rating in America!? There was hardly anything wrong with it for even a PG rating! They do this with many of the Kung-Fu movies as well.

This is a very enjoyable movie that may not be very deep but definitely achieves getting a few laughs. The jokes are continuous and many do hit the right chord. It's fast paced, silly, and quirky and ends up making a very entertaining spoof. It goes against many stereotypes by spoofing everything. I was watching it with my family and they all enjoyed it. It is a fine movie for kids (despite the ridiculous R rating) and it is also fun for adults.Bottom line: If you like light-hearted slapstick spoofs - give Kung Phooey a try. *** out of ****

I admit it...I did laugh out loud. It takes awhile to get it - that the spoof is the spoof. This movie is much more about blasting stereotypes than about spoofing the old Kung Foo run of hits and misses. Every social service or public health organization that requires "cultural competence" training would do far better with this corny but telling depiction of the gross stereotyping prevalent in all sectors...rather than the deadly talking heads or overly-processed exploration of prejudice. Although the 11 year old market of viewers may be more tempted to take this one off the shelf, it's way fun. But you may have to think and even squirm once you get it. Enjoy the a

This film was very funny and entertaining! I saw both Kung Pow and Kung Phooey and there were no similarities at all. Kung Phooey has funny one-liners, action and visual laughs. The story is goofy, but well written. Definitely a movie I would see again (there was so much laughter in the theater, it was hard to catch all the jokes). There's more to this film than a crazy comedy, there's an underlying message about Asian stereotypes. For an independent film, the fight scenes, costumes and locations were exceptional. I also hope to see more of Darryl Fong's work in the future.
