Part Jackie Chan, part Jerry Lewis, and part Bugs Bunny, Stephen Chow is a one-man maelstrom of physical comedy. He both directs and stars in this special effects-filled farce, playing a down-on-his-luck goofball who just happens to be trained in the Shaolin school of martial arts, which gives him superhuman abilities when it comes to things like kicking soccer balls. Together with his former classmates–each of whom has their own special power–he forms a soccer squad to take on “Team Evil” in a high-stakes tournament. The film’s “infectious style has a way of lifting spirits. You don't have to be a fan of soccer or kung fu to enjoy it” (Claudia Puig, USA Today). (Dir.: Stephen Chow, Hong Kong, 2001, 87 min., 35mm, Cantonese with English subtitles)
