Kung Pow is a spoof martial arts movie produced, directed, and written by Steve Oedekerk. Oedekerk digitally inserted himself in the movie to play as the Chosen One, the main character of the film. He also dubbed all of the characters lines in the movie. The story of Kung Pow starts with the Chosen One growing up in the wild after his family was murdered by the evil Master Pain. He then finds shelter in the Crane School and falls in love with a girl and figures out a way to avenge his parents death.
*Gasps for breath* This is the recurring feeling that you would feel all throughout the movie experience. Shortness of breath is normal when you get to watch this movie. Just 10 minutes of the whole movie, I was already crying and holding my chest because of shortness of breath from all that laughing. The humor is more on slapstick and when they say slapstick, it's like getting slapped in the rib cage continuously with a stick made out of humor!
Kung Pow is like a day in the carnival, everything is just awesome, wild, unpredictable, funny, gives you a headache(but the good type), funny, did I say that already? Well I can't help it, one funny is not enough to describe this movie.
Here's a better description. Close your eyes. Imagine you just got back from the dentist and you're still high from all the laughing gas he gave you. So you walk down the street and see these Jamaican men having a hash brownie eating contest, so you decide to join in and finish 37 brownies and to top that you chug down a 2 liter red bull made with real laughter juice extracted from clown membranes.
Now open your eyes. Awesome? That's Kung Pow.
