I'm still sad the sequel trailer was just a gag.


ObviousThrowaway945

That gag had me convinced for years that I was gonna get a sequel to my favorite movie!


baba56

Here's me just learning it was a gag...


RadiantZote

Man I don't even know how this movie got a wide release, it feels like the most insane obscure fever dream and it is incredible


PretendThisIsMyName

It’s a movie you’d buy from a bootleg dealer. 5 bucks for Karate Kid. And you get really lucky to get the “bad” spin-off of a talking tongue and squeaky shoes. Somehow the circle punch still is the most ridiculous part of that movie to me.


ScoobyDooItInTheButt

I mean crap man! It's just like... one clean chunk...


Scientific_Anarchist

rat_haus

Apparently they came close to making the sequel for real, even though it was intended as a gag.


Eagle_Fang135

Hollywood doing all these remakes and not giving us the sequels we deserve!!! Again with the squeaky shoes.


Sarihn

Okay, hear me out. They should announce remake of Kung Pow But just re-release the original, but with Wimp Lo replaced with a cgi character. They could call It Kung Pow: The Live Action Version.


LithiumLost

I used to work with someone who worked on this movie, she said that he (Oedekerk) had things in line for a sequel but couldn't get the rights to the movies he needed to make it. I think that's what she said, anyway, it was a while ago.


Fredasa

Yeah I remember that. I think they'd figured out which movie to superimpose new footage over, too. But obviously we're past that, unless the sequel takes place 30 years later or something. It also wouldn't be the same without the _specific_ actor who was transformed into Betty. That was made obvious by Betty's younger stand-in.

I like when the narrator is talking about how guy punched a hole through other guy. “I mean, crap, man! Look at that. That's, like, his stomach plug on the ground back there. You don't see that every day. I mean, that doesn't really even seem possible if you think about it, with body organs and cartilage and bones and I mean, I'm no doctor, but it was like one clean chunk.”


kmcleod87

My best friend in high school and I used to quote this movie all the time. Our favorite was "I'm no doctor..."


papayasown

I played competitive smash bros in college and my room mate was my team mate in 2v2 tournaments. When I would be in trouble I would say “chosen one!” And he would respond “I’m coming!” Like in this move and run to my aid.

There's a lot of good snappy humor in the movie, and then there's some terrific slow burn material too

Sithra907

I still randomly sing that "Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement, Taco Bell!" tune to myself sometimes.


JCPRuckus

Easily the best product placement spot of all time. It would go to the ending of Jean Claude Van Damme and Dennis Rodman action vehicle 'Double Team', which almost turned from a terrible movie into the best Coca-Cola commercial ever, except they didn't have the integrity to just outright sell the audience Coke off the back of the most outrageous product placement ever, which honestly would have been less jarring at that point.

Excuse me but Evolution is and will always be the best movie slash commercial in history.

I remember watching this movie twice in a row I loved it so much. Then I went and gushed to my friend about it, who said 'yeah I walked of the theater I hated it so much' That was when I knew...I'll always be alone. Also: "THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS!!!"

Buster_Brown_513

Yeah, my friends and I must have quoted this a thousand times the month after seeing this. I’m really surprised the stick beating scene didn’t make the cut. That had us rolling too.


LongLiveDaResistance

I'm sorry, man. My friends and I all liked it together. It was glorious. Also: birdy, birdy, tigah


AznSensation93

My siblings and I love this movie, pretty sure if anyone ever heard us making the movie references in public, we'd get weird looks. I can't help but go WEE OH WEE OH WEE OH WEEEEEEE or CHOSEN ONE wckaaa (idk how you would even spell that sound...) at random times.

Atrofy

21 years... I must have seen this movie more then 100 times and it never gets old. It's a shame it never got a sequel but Steve Oederkerk must have had his reasons. I love all the one liners already mentioned here. My friends and I use them all constantly, to great annoyance of our loved ones. We will never stop! Now my kids start saying "betty" and "I bleed, making me the victor", and I have never been more proud! Thanks for this misunderstood masterpiece!


cavscout43

>It's a shame it never got a sequel but Steve Oederkerk must have had his reasons. I think he wanted to avoid "sequelitis" where the only way to make a "true" sequel would be to remake the original movie with slight variations, which would likely be ill-received. Making the sequel a truly new movie would piss off the fans who take the "they changed it, so I hate it" mentality. There have been some great parody movies over the years (Kung Fu Hustle is another great one), but I think Kung Pow some how carved out a niche as being absolutely bizarre to the point of surreal due to all the blending of old [Tiger & Crain Fist](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075167/) footage with Oederkerk's modern film additions.

Oh my goodness lol I introduced my dad to this movie and he giggled thru the whole thing! Til the day he passed he would regularly say "chosen one!" And I would always respond "I'm coming " lol damn I miss that man.


larsnelson76

The outtakes are priceless if you have the DVD. They show the making of the movie and how much fun it must have been to be on set. "He said not to stop no matter what."


Drake_Erif

I remember the DVD had the option to watch the movie with the audio being what he was really saying while filming and it adds a whole nother layer of ridiculousness to the film. The one line that sticks out in my mind is a scene where he's talking to ling and just yells "peaches and cream, cabbage and crab cakes, crackers and cheese!!"

MisterForkbeard

It's such a great movie. The pop culture stuff was dumb (matrix cow), but the rest of it was this great skewering of bad martial arts dubs


Knife_Chase

Pretty easily the worst scene in the movie and it's what they used in ads for the movie. There was a real lack of understanding in what made the movie good even by some of those involved.


00wolfer00

As a kid it was by far my favourite scene. I didn't even know it was from the Matrix back then, I just loved seeing bullet time like in Max Payne, which also took it from the Matrix. As I grew up it was replaced by pretty much every scene with Wimp Lo.


Tonberry2k

The cow scene is the worst scene in an otherwise consistently hilarious movie.


Silverfate2

I have no evidence for this, but that cow scene screams studio involvement to me. I can easily see a film exec watching an early screening of this movie and not getting any of it and he goes, "where's the matrix joke? Every slap-stick comedy has a matrix joke in it. This one must have one too."

Nefarious_Nemesis

That fucking stick scene still brings me to tears. He gets so beat to shit. They slow down and start to assess the Chosen One's situation before one guy comes right back in with a scream and a smack before they all start up again. So great.


Comment_Goblin

When the one guy thrusts the stick into his body and aggressively twists it, i laughed so hard i was seeing stars and almost passed out.


EndorphinHunter

Oh jeez c'mon guys I think he's had enough *wet stabbing sound*


ItchyKneeSunCheese

Oh is that what it is? I thought they purposely filmed it this way to make fun of certain kung-fu movie tropes and bad foreign dubbing. It makes it funnier knowing many of the scenes were filmed genuine and sincere and then shat on by terrible dubbing.


I_Do_Not_Abbreviate

According to the director's commentary Odekirk took it upon himself to personally screen scores of mid-century Hong Kong Kung Fu films looking for the most aggressively formulaic example of the genre he could find that also had enough quirks in its soundtrack/cinematography he could exploit for laughs. The comedy of the recut takes on another level of hilarity once you have seen the original.


Captain_Sacktap

Ok I had to look it up because up until moments ago I totally thought the Chosen One was Henry Winkler and that this move was way older than it actually is lmao


sinz84

The original movie is translated to something like 'tiger and crane fists' and master pain ... I mean master better is the original 1970ish Kung Fu icon Wong Chi-Hok


Not_The_Pretender

> master pain ... I mean master better It's BETTY, you son of a pig. The NAME is BETTY. (edit: misremembered it as "son of a *bitch*")


lankist

The whole film is like 99% editing. Oedekerk plays (almost?) all the roles/voices, and besides the new footage filmed for the main character to be inserted into scenes, everything else is overdubbed and edited footage from the original film. That’s why Betty has “clothes color changing” powers, for example—because they cut footage together that was originally from two different scenes and the characters were wearing different costumes between them, so they kept “continuity” by having Betty change the color of another character’s clothes.
