Argh!, 7 January 2005
2/10
Author: sarastro7 from Denmark

This is probably the most awful kung fu comedy I've seen yet. There is very little fighting in it, and even at the end, when you think there's gonna be a decent fight, it ends up descending into idiotic, practically unwatchable "comedy".

All in all, this movie is just terrible. People regularly break out in hysterical laughter for hardly any reason, and many characters are insufferably caricatured. The movie warrants nothing more than a "2" rating, and the only thing keeping it from a "1" is the very few decent kung fu scenes.

My best recommendation is that you avoid this movie, unless you distinctly like really bad kung fu movies. And let me assure you that this one is not bad in "the good way", either; it's strictly bad in the bad way. Enter at your own time-wasting peril!
