Kung Pow is one of my favourite movies ever. Are they really going to make that sequel? ---

You’re all kidding, right? You actually liked this movie? I haven’t seen it but have never heard anyone else say they actually liked it. I do not cease to be amazed. ---

Naw. The best lines are in the DVD section where they actually play what the original audio was, even on Kodekirk’s (Kodecker? Kodeczeyk? Whatever.) lines. “I’m a biped. Two legs. And September is the month in which I partake of my perambulatory habit.” ---

Oedekerk. Steve. We saw this movie in the dollar theatres, and we had to try and keep our laughing down because we were the only ones in there laughing so hard. We have since bought the dvd and watched it again, and laughed just about as hard. “Ooh, nice baby. Bye bye.” “mmm, tiger, tiger tiger tiger.” I suspect this is one of those love it or hate it type things - we love it. “Just because I go _urkh_ and turn away, does not mean I am dead.” ---

I thought it was funny, and it kind of shows that the “What’s Up, Tiger Lily?” concept just needs a little more “oomph” to get to where it wanted to be. And while for the movie itself I wouldn’t spend money to own, the alternate soundtracks on the DVD are more than a bit tempting. And that nuts line is just damn funny. ---

If you enjoyed this keep an eye out for the Aussie movie [Hercules Returns](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0107103) which mocks 1960’s Italian sand and sandal epics. ---

**Ivar** : I expected this film to be pretty bad, but it was hilarious, if you’re the kind of person who appreciates satirical humor. Are you sure the people who gave you their reviews actually saw it? “Pay attention to… the **symbols**. One… over **here** … the other… over **there**.” “Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell. Enchirito…” “Nacho burrito!” “How many miles? Would you say… ten million?!” “No… I wouldn’t say ten _million_.” “Ventriloquists, ventriloquists, we throw our voice all day.” “He carries a basket!” “He carries a scroll!” “And we don’t have cysts. But one thing’s for sure my friends, we are ventri- AAAA!” ---

I own it, and laugh like a rabid idiot every time I watch it. “I am a great and powerful magician. YOUR SHIRT IS RED!” “I’m Ling’s father-oohweeoohweeooh.” “SHIRT WRIPPER!” As for the sequel, IMDB has an [entry](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0339271) for it. Apparently, Steve Oedekerk is still culling through old movies for source material ---

“Shhh. This moment is for both of us.” I saw it once at the dollar movie theater, thought it was funny, but only in the you-admit-it’s-absolutely-stupid-and-relax-and-enjoy-it-anyway context. ---

I was inspired to rewatch. Some more moments: The moths flying into the master’s mouth. Damn, that cracked me up, it was so perfect. “Let your anger be as a monkey inside a piñata.” “At that moment, the Chosen One learned a valuable lesson about iron claws: they hurt like _crap_, man!” The class: “ONE…of US…is WEARING…a PUSH-UP BRA…it’s LACY…and CUTE…” “I’ll kill him. I’ll kill him dead. Like with a rock or something. like a stone.” “You go that way! I’ll go home!” “I’ve got some yellow liquid for your popcorn! And it’s non-dairy!” ---

It was the sounds they stuck in place of dialogue that got me. I swear I almost died every time they made “khak” or “weeooweeoooweoooooo”. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-kung-pow-enter-the-fist-appreciation-thread/152556.md?page=2)
