[HK Movie] Shao Lin Soccer

[mzboba]

Whoa... you guys, i just went on apple's movie trailer website and found this upcoming film called Shao Lin Soccer, it has Zhou Xing Chi and Zhao Wei in it, Zhao Wei is bald in it... wdf?! ...Wacky movie!!!!

Have you guys heard of it?

[scarletwillow]

Silly rabbit!
It's an old movie :P
Well, old in HK.

I'm worried about the US release. It'll just perpetuate stereotypes about Chinese people... they took some really freaky looking people and put it in that movie >.<

[kewlpiggy88]

ebert&roeper gave it "two thumbs up". how..strange.

[mzboba]

HAHAHAHA. For real, i saw Zhao Wei bald in it, and i was freaked out and wonder how did I miss it?!

It's old in HK? pssh When an asian film gets to U.S. the dvd version of the film is probably out in asia alrighty.

[JianDan[Ai]]

its stupud comedy..and yes, a very old movie...i bought the vcd 3 years ago..haha

but i like it because soccer is one of my many passions...

as for the english release...i saw the trailor, and it is dubbed...which makes it sound HORRIBLE...haha im sorry...it just sounds so bad dubbed..

and about Zhao Wei being bald, she is only blad for a last scene at the end, the rest of the movie, which really, she plays a rather small part, she has hair...but is suppose to have a very ugly face -_-;;

This is the website where i found the trailer.

I was just watching the MV for Yi Fu Zhi Ming, the MV makes the traid or mafia or whatever look so tempting and cool. And the italian star and jay were put up a very great performance. =)

Too bad i've only been to Paris, cuz my dad lives there, has everyone been to Italy?

:dry: ER, I think that movie's old like :wink2: . I have the download version from bittorrent and its really good! I'm not surprise Ebert and Roebert gave it two thumbs up, its actaully a really humerous movie!

And besides, Stephen Chow's in there and any movie he's in, I'm all for it. So to those who haven't seen it yet, go out and watch it!!!! :yeah:

[Squall]

a really old movie already!!!
i watch it on televison many times already..
the story and special effect is excellent..
i still loves watching it

[ker_ai_teresa]

yeah, the original HK version was released near the end of 2001.

prolly one of my fave films ever, i've seen it over 10 times on dvd. :laughing:
i don't seem to get sick of it. :rolleyes:
personally i think it's the best stephen chow work. his sense of humour and idea of comedy might not be appealing to lots of ppl, but compared to a lot of his older works, which to me were mostly stupid and used crude jokes that weren't even funny, this one makes a lot more sense.

[daweng]

its a funny movie
tho somewhat predictable in some areas
the moustache on cecilia was hilarious

[xJayChoux]

omg! this movie is really hilarious...that "fat" brother...hehe...: "my eggs!!!" :laughing:

sigh...i havent watched many of Stephen Chows movies...but this one is pretty good.

[zhy378]

love this movie been one of my favorite, though haven't seen it in a long time. but then i already seen it lots of time. yea i heard about the ebglish relase last summer and quickly went to check out the trailer. but when was it out in theatres? :wink2:

[snow_ella]

That's got to be the lamest but funniest movies eva!! Old though!!

I bought the dvd in china like yonks ago...and trust all cheapo pirated chinese dvds, it was corrupted so i neva got to see the ending :cry: CAn soemthing tell me the ending???

Did Vicki really shave?? Cuz i remember a big controversy over the matter when the movie was filmed, where she refused to shave or something!!

[jes!]

yup...i watched it just last year i think i really didn't have a "story' but i t was really funny!!@

[JianDan[Ai]]

Did Vicki really shave?? Cuz i remember a big controversy over the matter when the movie was filmed, where she refused to shave or something!!

haha of course not, she wore a bald cap haha...which is why...it looks kinda shiny and fake...haha

[tearstained7987]

That's an REALLI old movie...they are starting to play it i think in the US.....i saw previews for it a while ago...overall, its a pretty weird movie.

[ericheng]

lol it's COOL!!!!! i swear one of the funniest movies ever that is made by hong kong people........ and yeah especially when stephen chow sang with his iron head brother in the club..... LOL!!!! and when stephen was also chucking a matrix when kicking the ball.... that was also funni..... it's a lil weird i agree but totally cool though

[Angels on clouds]

its so ridiculous and exaggerated that its damn funny!!!
I've watched it like more than 3 times and laugh at the same jokes all the time. Really!

Yeah...that singing part in the pub was hilarious! :laughing:

[scarletwillow]

This is a comedy that does not include sex.
It will not do well in the US.


Wait... it has stupid looking Chinese people.
It will do well in the US.

[chiccox3]

omg!that movie was so so so funny!vicky has some weird looks in there!i didn't see the english version..i saw the chinese version

[amdawn]

i thought the movie was good in some places with the special effects and zany storyline- use of shaolin kungfu in modern times. stephen was charming as a sincere down on the luck guy. however, the scenes that ruined the entire movie were the ones that were just over the top and thus not funny and too insanely violent. like one, the scene of smashing bottles on the friends head. that was suppose to be funny?! next, the scene with local players bringing the hammers and tool to beat them up. how was that funny too??! maybe i just don't get it.
i luv the special effects though with stephen kicking the soccer balls. or particulary the one with zhao wei kneading dough. or the push that sends the car into the it parking space. too bad that i thought the movie fell apart by the time the movie ended.

[Dakanman]

Man that film rox! lol love the bit where Zhou Sing Chi does a kick to the guys head and the wind blows his hair, and the bit where the sing shaolin kung fu is powerful! lolol

[lilmizzaudi]

@ first i thought that the movie would suck ( shoalin soccer? :glug: ) but when i actualli watched it, i found it 2 be realli funny :D i really liked it, even though it is kinda cheesy :rolleyes:

[freebird_brown]

i think stephen chow's done better movies... i dunno... the movie was ok. maybe i was just in a bad mood when i watched it. but i did laugh in several parts. i like zhao wei. too bad she's bald in this one and has only one scene where she looks pretty. but then again, in that scene she's like crying. karen mak is in this movie too.
i can't believe that they're releasing it in the u.s.... can't imagine its sales being very high... except maybe among chinese people... i guess that's who their targeting tho...

[cpopbaby19]

hahah! yea.. quite old movie! i saw this many time on tv! but a funny one! lol.. hehehe

[lil~jo]

Those in here who watched this movie to see vicki zhao, in otherwards you're a fan of hers, please feel welcome to discuss about her in this thread!~
http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2911

she played a very small part in this movie.
I quite liked the overall story, other than the parts of humilation.

[KaiLien]

I love this movie as well. My favorite parts are where they sing that wacky song at that club and the cool dance scene. lmao.

[ericheng]

remember how they added shaolin into the dancing and singing LOL!!! FUNNI!!!!! kakaka cracked up laughing.... and remember the shaolin guy's first match.... hehe the coach dropped a spanner and a crowbar and he said he was an engineer LOL!!!! funni $hi+

[jessica]

yeah, ebert & roeper gave it two thumbs up.
did vicky actually shaved her head?... i thought it was just makeup.
i think the US will re-release this film in the original language cause the english version didn't do so well (i think that was the reason).

[ericheng]

did she shave her head!?!?! not too sure.... but she was pretty ugly when she full put makeup on with that guy(wannabe girl) in the beauty shop

[jessica]

did she shave her head!?!?! not too sure.... but she was pretty ugly when she full put makeup on with that guy(wannabe girl) in the beauty shop

lol... i know what you mean... the makeup was so exaggerated!... it made her look totally different... i got a good laugh from that scene.

[Car|os]

I heard that they are planning to film shaolin soccer 2 soon after the relaese of this movie, but why until now still no news? I am really looking forward for the part 2. hehe

[cookielmy]

Shao Lin soccer is sooo gooD!.. even people who dont understands cantonese.. they love the show so much.. and those who love football.. i think they'll hope that the EURO would play football like this Shao Lin Soccer.. right? ;) How i wish too.. *hehe*
This show was awarded many many awards .. Stephen Chow is the director of the show.. :) And i'm actually a big fans of Stephen Chow!.. so do you right? ^^

[kt_kez]

Another funny stephen chow movie! :-) The scene where we first see her with a shaved head was hilarious!! Ha... and then at the end when they use kung fu in everyday life was great too :-)

[midori]

that movie is quite old.. the stereotype thing might be very true in this case.. haha

i mean, come on shaolin?? they'd think china's still living in the feudal times or something..well, there are still shaolin monks, but people tend to associate it with being "not modernized"
