Well, my family and I love Stephen Chow’s **Kung Fu Hustle**. I’ve also seen **Shaolin Soccer** , and am looking for another fix. Any thoughts? Are any of Chow’s other offerings good, and are any available in the US market? I’m not opposed to subtitles. And before anyone else says it, yes, we’ve seen **Iron Monkey**. Good, but not exactly what we want. Thanks! ---

Early Jackie Chan comedy-action pieces, like Drunken Master 2? ---

Jackie Chan’s Project A series and Armor of God films also have the same tone of action/irreverence. ---

Drunken Master 2 was awesome! Add me in. ---

Before its U.S. release, I often saw the import Shaolin Soccer DVD bundled with another Hong Kong film, God of Cooking. I assume it would be sold to the same target audience, so it might be worth checking out. ---

_Rumble in the Bronx_ is a fun Jackie Chan as well. ---

So is this a bad time to mention that I can’t stand Jackie Chan? 🙂 ---

Did you see _Kung Pow - Enter the Fist_ yet? It is basically a combination of some old silly Kung-Fu film with new material spliced in and completely dubbed with some really, silly dialogue. It is not very similar, but definitely worth a watch. ---

BTW, I absolutely loathe Jackie Chan too. Stupid circus boy. 😃 I assume you have seen _the Kentucky Fried Movie_ ? ---

I’ve seen both Kung Pow and Kentucky Fried Movie (love the second, didn’t care for the first)…my son saw “18 Fingers of Death” and was not impressed. _sigh_ So, I guess I’ll just have to wait on Chow to release some more stuff to the US. favorite quote: Don’t make me fight you! Have you ever seen a fist this big? Sometimes I scare myself! and I still squirm over Shaolin Soccer’s ‘french kiss/suck the raw egg out of another guy’s mouth while holding his struggling body prone’ scene. agggghgh! ---

_Mr Vampire_ is another martial arts movie with some humor in it.
