Review of Shaolin Soccer (2001) by Ray D — 18 Apr 2009
The only cut I've seen of this one is the North American theatrical with the bad dub job, unfortunately---I understand that the original cut is a lot better, and the movie that I did see was entertaining enough, so that's a good suggestion that I should go back and try to re-watch it again (The problem with international films that are sometimes released in North America).
Anyway, I can see other reviews below this one that describe it as the Matrix meets Bend it like Beckham, and that's not too far off---Stephen Chow stars and directs in this ragtag underdogs vs The Evil Team soccer story, which is basically an excuse for ridiculous things to happen on the soccer field, and a good time to be had by all.
