(20.32 minutes) is a basic behind the scenes look at the making of the film with a lot of behind-the-scenes video. We see the theatrical segment, then the raw footage, and then the footage computer generated wire mold of the object. (run time 7 min 45 seconds)- in this non-narrated segment we see how many of the special effects are done. The special features are as described below? There are only a few special features but are good ones though. The menus and additional features all have animated menus with scenes from the film. Shaolin Soccer (2001) DVD is a good and better than most discs coming out of Hong Kong. They have made large leaps since STORM RIDERS, which was made only a few years back.

I must say that with the way the Hong Kong film industry is embracing CGI very quickly and expressing themselves with it in their own special way and not having to imitate Hollywood in the interim.

There are a lot of wire gags that are skillfully combined with CGI that are extremely creative and very humorous. The style of martial arts in the film is a blend of classical and modern eclectic. Veteran Fight Director Ching Siu Tung (Swordsman 2) does a superb job of blending the application of martial arts techniques into a soccer game. It was the creativity and humor of the action sequences that really caught me off guard. I was not really ready for what I saw in Shaolin Soccer (2001) and was in awe, shocked, and laughing all at once, many times throughout the film. The film has a certain childlike optimism and innocence feel to it that I feel makes it such an endearing film. The film also mocks The Matrix and Jurassic Park to name a few. It is consistent, hilarious, and written with as much passion and heart as the movie Rocky, mixed in with the broad and at times off-beat humor of a Farrelly Brothers ( There’s Something About Mary) film. I found this Kung Fu comedy to be one of Chow’s best films. But are they good enough to win and face last year?s winner?Hung’s Soccer team? It is when they finally get a grasp of their game when Fung finally decides to enter them in the World Championship Tournament. They all must individually overcome their own vices and shortcomings before they can be a team. However it is not an easy road for them because they are all not too skilled at playing soccer and must use their skills in the martial arts to make up for it. Sing kicks the can into the air and sails for several blocks.įung then later realizes that if he teams up with Sing and his Shaolin brothers (who are also not doing so well in the real world), they can form a soccer team where they can all attain their goals and rise from mediocrity. Fung balks at Sing and throws a can at him. Sing asks if Fung is interested in being his disciple. Sing doesn’t mind his harsh meager existence because he is fanatical in his goal of bringing Shaolin martial arts to the masses showing the world that practicing it is good for people of all walks of life. While wandering the streets, Fung bumps into Sing (Stephen Chow), a martial arts student, who lives a meager existence by collecting recyclable trash off the streets and cleaning a mall at night. Hung scoffs at the idea, fires Fung, and tells him that the beating 20 years ago was pre-arranged and that he was set up. The crowd attacks Fung and injures his knee, ruining any chance of ever playing soccer again.Ģ0 years later, Fung now walks with a severe limp and does menial work for Hung, who is now a millionaire and the owner of the “Evil” soccer team, winning the world championship for the past 5 years. Fung loses the game by missing the penalty kick and a riot ensues. Soccer star “Golden Legs” Fung (Ng Man Tat) takes a bribe from Hung, his teammate, to throw a game.
