I watched Enter the Fist last night. I had heard that the movie wasn’t great, but I laughed through almost the entire thing…

I guess you just have to be in the mood for it.

Anyway, the narrator through the movie sounded exactly like [StrongBad](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html) .

Has anyone else noticed that?

How did the narrator type with boxing gloves on his hands?

Does the narrator have any super-powers? If so, would he use them for good or for awesome?

Oh, that explains it. The entire movie was put together on The Cheat’s iMac.

Personally I don’t think it deserved a trophy. I don’t even think it deserved a pizza.

I randomly ran into that movie while flipping channels the other night. This is what I call a good Train Wreck. The movie, IMHO, totally sucked, but it was so bad I kept laughing… and kept watching. I saw about half of it before my friend and I left for dinner. Next time I flip by, I’ll stop and watch more.

I give it two stars for intentional as well as unintentional humor. But then, I have this thing for bad movies…

Maybe a pizza trophy.

I only accept payments in gold nuggets. Or Denver Nuggets. Actually, any kind of nugget is fine. Chicken nuggets…

Some people have rigged the enemy base with explosives. **merge** has.

Meh, it kinda sounded like Strong Bad. A little. I see the connection, but I don’t think it was a blatant ripoff.

If the narrator called the Chosen One “Crap for Brains”, then I’d see the issue.

Obviously, if they’re planning a sequel, then **there is no God!!!**

A one which is not chosen is scarely a one at all.

Really, I don’t think they sounded too similar. Fine with me, Wimp Lo. I mean, Master Tang. I mean… whatever.

Hey, look! It’s the ghost of the narrator’s old computer…

I liked the movie and appreciated the computer-workings involved. However, i don’t think SB sounds anything like Master Tang. OOoo weee oooo WAH!!
