Alternate versions for
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002) More at IMDbPro »

• Uses footage from Shao Lin hu ho chen tien hsia (1977) with actors digitally inserted into original scenes, and new dialogue overdubbed.
  
  
• The DVD shows several deleted/alternate scenes. Among these are:
  • A musical number by Chosen One
  • The Evil Betty singing a song based on his "owl and bungee cord" joke
  • The Evil Betty searching for two characters hidden within a bell
  • A sequence where after being captured in the tiny net, Chosen One is taken back to Betty's lair and tortured by an old master. The torture includes being given a tattoo on his face of the word "Mouth" and an arrow pointing to his mouth. Chosen manages to escape in a battle sequence where he performs kung fu with his only free appendage (his arms and legs are bound and he is male so figure it out). After his escape he is comforted by the mono-breasted Whoa, who magically removes the tattoo.
  • All of the new footage was shot with the actors saying nonsense lines (often discussions of pies and pastries), then re-dubbed with the final dialogue so that what is heard would never match lip movements. The DVD contains the option to view the entire movie with this original audio track.
  
  
  
• The DVD includes an additional audio track with all of the overdubbed dialogue spoken in a serious tone by a Shakespearean actor. Also included on the DVD are several sequences with alternate lines of dialogue than heard in the main film.
