Everybody Was Kung Fu Dunking~

The Lunar New Year holidays have ended! Back to work for me. But in light of the charitable spirit of CNY I decided to go support the basketball movie that was doomed to fail with my ever present partner in crime, Baby-V.

Its the action packed,
The high kicking,
The side spliting,
And UNBELIEVABILY LAME....

KUNG FU DUNK!

Featuring the forever stoned actor, Jay Chou. I had the choice to go see another movie by the master of Chinese comedy, Stephen Chow, but you would want watch that over and over again, so I'll just wait to visit my neighbourhood pirate.

Usually one would comment about bad acting or bad storylines or both.

Well you can throw the storyline, character development, basically the entire show, out the window. The fact that Jay is a horrible actor was the saving grace. Just watching his facial expressions is comedy enough.

Oh yes and he made an 'act cute' pose. Oh you people could have sensed that it was only a matter of time be fore he did the whole 'clam' thing.

Everything else in that movie was nonsensical. There is no way in hell basketball is played in such a manner. After watching that, 'Shaolin Soccer' felt realistic.

Jay's character Fang Shi Jie is a orphaned misfit (its always a misfit) from a dysfuctional martial arts school. His original master died tragicly after freezing himself to death by his own 'Kung Fu' (dumb right!?). A few unfortunate events, unrealistic dunks, impossible shots and a 'time altering' Kung fu later he finds out that his father is the richest man in the country.

It did loosely mimic the ever popular manga, Slam Dunk. Very loosely. If the rumors are correct, Takehiko Inoue was right to reject Kevin Chu from making it Slam Dunk the movie.

But I will give it one thing, it was funny.

*smirks* Ja-ne.
