Shaolin Soccer, anyone?

[Mr Darkside]

I just recently got the chance to see the original chinese version of this movie, & i must say, I was surprised at how different the U.S. movie previews show this movie to be. This movie is Hilarious! I'm waiting to see the U.S. version just to see what they edit out. I hate seeing an edited version of anything before i see the original.. Anyone have comments about this great movie?

[NaturalMystic]

well haven't seen it, i dont really plan too, i've just heard about it, never saw the previews or anything, my sister wants to see it, thats all i know...

[SniperWolf]

Wow that actually doesn't look half as bad as people have been making it out to sound....I wanna see it now, looks cool

[Harmony]

It's odd... Very, very odd... But amusing in a crazy kind of way. And pretty enjoyable

i have seen a couple of previews of it. I might go see it.

[n00dles]

go see it! it's really funny. tony lau cracks me up. i dunno how it'll be when it's dubbed, but if anything it's just a really funny take on kung fu and soccer

Yeah This movie is great~ seen it about 3 times... then I got to see the next movie that the same director created... it's about cooking.. hehe. It's half as good as shaolin soccer but half as good as that movie is lets say.... 100 times better than that FF movie....

anyways just watch it~ you won't be dissapointed.

ohh and another thing... This was the first time i had ever seen this happen... When i watched this movie in japan at the theaters when the movie was over the people that watched it stood up and started clapping... I don't know about movies that you have seen but a standing ovation in a theater was the first for me... not only that it was Japanese people that did it... the normally shy don't do anything "odd" people did that....

yeah... good movie~~

I've watched both of them and hmm...I seem to prefer God of Cookery over Shaolin Soccer. The part where the Shaolin monks appeared whas especially hilarious. It's probably because of my love for cookery.

Whenever a movie is edited by the USA, the translator makes it sounds horrible.

[nihonjintaylor]

I saw both in either chinese or Japanese... I stay far away from English if i can help it...

[White Mage]

Any idea whether the original was in Chinese or Cantonese?
