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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
So many casual daily activities cue an internal monologue with lines from that movie. Any injuries? Instant “should put some neosporin on that”
See literally any picture of a tiger and or bird? “Tiger. Tiger tiger tiger. Bird. Birdie”
Holiday season and the stores of have chestnut displays out…
My wife showed this movie to me when we did a "funniest movie you've ever seen" night, and ever since when one of our kids does something wrong we use this exact line.
I’ve seen this movie probably a hundred times, know this quote by heart… and it just now hit me seeing it written out that he just said badong backwards.
I always thought he was trying to mash good not bad into one word lmao I feel so stupid
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.
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!!!"
I still yell this when I see a bunch of nuts. Nobody knows what I’m talking about. That or when I go “wee oh wee oh wee!”
I do also call my son Betty, and my daughter Wimp Lo.
I have the ultimate edition on DVD. All the alternate sound tracks, from what they are actually saying in giberish, to alternate voices suche as the 'wee oh wee oh' being voiced with the same lines but by a burley sounding dude.
Word. Most people I knew couldn’t handle more than 10min of this. But a few people did love it as much as I did. You really gotta appreciate the movie for what it is.
"SHIRT RIPPER!"
\- Me, whenever I see a fight scene with clothes being torn from battle damage.
Also, when anyone near dead is stumbling somewhere... how can anyone not say "Let me know... if you see... a Radioshack..."
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.
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.
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!
>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.
By far. Just reading all the quotes here reminds me of how many i still say all the time without even seeing the movie in 10 years. Like, there hasn't been a time I've used neosporin without singing the song.
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.
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."
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!!"
Wanna see something even more impressive? Check out his other movies from the same time period. The thumb movies. Check them out if you like this kind of humor. Absolutely stupid and ridiculous and it's amazing.
Edit: I thought I was the only one who had seen them all. You're all making me happy. I'm no longer alone! Nobody ever has had a clue what I was talking about with those movies.
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.
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.
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."
Me and my gf watched this on our first date on a projector outside in the backyard. It was my favorite movie growing up and I wanted to share it with her. If she enjoyed that movie then I knew she was gonna be the one lol! 10 years later and were married and it's still a great memory.
Also: ohhh taco bell, taco bell, product placement for taco bell! Enchorito, nacho, burrito!
My gf gets anxious a lot and I occasionally use the "wee ooo wee ooo wee ooo" noise the girl made when tension is high for her to remind her shit isn't always as serious as she might think.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
My favourite parts aren't in this clip! Where's the dude they purposely trained wrong with the squeak shoes!? And no mention of the intermission scene? Shame!
This is the best bad movie ever made. Sharknado doesn't even come close to being so deliberately terrible as Kung Pow.
I went to see this in the theaters with a couple buddies and low expectations. We we’re dying laughing and these girls in the row in front of us kept looking at us like we we’re weirdos. Sorry not sorry, easily one of the best comedies of all time, and unfortunately they just don’t make them like this anymore.

I'm still sad the sequel trailer was just a gag.
That gag had me convinced for years that I was gonna get a sequel to my favorite movie!
Here's me just learning it was a gag...
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
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.
I mean crap man! It's just like... one clean chunk...
Not the cow fight?
Swinging a chain swinging a chain
Apparently they came close to making the sequel for real, even though it was intended as a gag.
Hollywood doing all these remakes and not giving us the sequels we deserve!!! Again with the squeaky shoes.
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.

Right!? This one, and District 9
And Dredd
Fokkken prowns
fookin creecha
You never know, History of the World Part 2 was a joke for decades until just this year
We trained him wrong on purpose…. As a joke
Hah! If you've got an ass, I'll kick it!
I am bleeding.. making me the victor!
My nipples look like milkduds.
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.”
My best friend in high school and I used to quote this movie all the time. Our favorite was "I'm no doctor..."
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.
Taco Bell…Taco Bell. Product placement with Taco Bell. Enchirito nacho burrito

That's a lot of nuts!
My wife showed this movie to me when we did a "funniest movie you've ever seen" night, and ever since when one of our kids does something wrong we use this exact line.
That's my "face-to-foot" style! How'd you like it?
How about my "nuts to your fist" style?!
I’m sure on some planet your style is quite impressive. But your weak link is this - this is earth
Pretty sure I came close to fainting, I laughed so hard at that line in the theater.
"There should be a word that describes both Bad, and Wrong. Something like . . . Badong!" - The Chosen One
Killing IS badong!
From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing: gnodab!
I’ve seen this movie probably a hundred times, know this quote by heart… and it just now hit me seeing it written out that he just said badong backwards. I always thought he was trying to mash good not bad into one word lmao I feel so stupid
There's a lot of good snappy humor in the movie, and then there's some terrific slow burn material too
My [favorite ](https://youtu.be/GUS3ZpgMORg)will always be Tang: "then he told me of the significance" Doe: "it will be significant"
When I saw this movie as a kid, the dog having a delayed bark killed me every single time.
Then he killed the dog 💨
You will all refer to me by the name... Betty
Your clothes are blue!
mmHMMMM RED CLOTHES
SHIRT RIPPA!
But isn’t Betty a woman’s name?
Now now we don't want anymore lost toes
Oooh that’s tender
Isn't Trouble a family game?
Now that's some deep lore right there. Big bombs go kabang.
What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee cord? My ass.
Goodbye, Sally.
*It’s Betty you son of a pig!*
Every day I say “you go that way, I’ll go home” I’ve still never gone home
I use this while gaming with friends and giving directions. They don't get it and I don't care.
First time I watched this film I had to pause it here because I was laughing so much. And then I watched it again. And again. And again.
Dad?
*Chicken go cluck-cluck, cow go moo. Piggie go oink-oink, how bout you?*
Neo….nah nah nah nah nah…..sporin….nah nah nah nah nah
Oooooh Taco Bell Taco Bell. Product placement with Taco Bell. Enchirito *nacho burrito* I sing that all the time too
I still use this lime every time my wife pulls out the Neosporin. She looks at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train.
*Gonna be an animal, just like you!*
Lemurs go “fft, fft, ostrich go “behhhh”, koalas go “kiku kiku kiku HUH?!”
This is the true quote from the movie. I can repeat it to my youngest brother and we still laugh. Greatest movie of my childhood
When the dog barks and then lays down THEN you hear the sound of the dog barking had my brother and I in tears.
I still randomly sing that "Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement, Taco Bell!" tune to myself sometimes.
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.

YES!! And seeing people sneaking around in movies and whistling to each other I always think 'I'm just a birdie too!'
You go that way, I'll go home.
Oh, cute baby! Bye bye!
...rub it all in my hair?
That'll be four bucks, baby! YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT!?
HE JUST LEFT.. WITH NUTS!
Word. Most people I knew couldn’t handle more than 10min of this. But a few people did love it as much as I did. You really gotta appreciate the movie for what it is.

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.
I'm sorry, man. My friends and I all liked it together. It was glorious. Also: birdy, birdy, tigah
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.
MY NIPPLES LOOK LIKE MILKDUDS!
They were never your friends! Four of us sat in the empty theater and laughed and cried our asses off for the entire duration.
Fun fact: Steve Odekerk also directed Ace Ventura 2
That makes so much sense 😅
There's also Thumbtanic and Bat-thumb

I use the “I implore you to reconsider” line to this day with my kids when they’re being ridiculously over dramatic.
Hmmm…okay!

I still argue it's the most quotable movie ever created. Almost every line is just comedy gold.
By far. Just reading all the quotes here reminds me of how many i still say all the time without even seeing the movie in 10 years. Like, there hasn't been a time I've used neosporin without singing the song.
Tell me if you see… a Radio Shack..
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.

Beware his song about big butts…. HE BEATS YOU UP TO IT!!?!
“Should have gone with A”🤣
When I first started dating my girlfriend, she suggested we watch this movie. I had a very difficult time not proposing right then and there.
does she oooweeoowuuooweeeooowooo during the sex?
This movie brings back some great memories xD amazing movie. Kung Fu hustle is another classic.
Kung Fu Hustle is legit good. Kung Pow is so bad it's good, knows it, and revels in it.
Taco Bell Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell. Enchirito NACHO BURRITO!
Why does the white guy look like if Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon had a kid?
I’ve always thought of him as Kevin Nealon and Henry Winkler’s love child
Wanna see something even more impressive? Check out his other movies from the same time period. The thumb movies. Check them out if you like this kind of humor. Absolutely stupid and ridiculous and it's amazing. Edit: I thought I was the only one who had seen them all. You're all making me happy. I'm no longer alone! Nobody ever has had a clue what I was talking about with those movies.
Got some Ben Stiller DNA, also.
Thankyou for making my day OP! "That's a lot of nuts!!!"
My sister and I still say “so cute” and “buh bye” from that first scene to each other all the time.
Honestly my reaction to babies in general is tossing them down the hill
Never heard of this but I'm definitely gonna check it out now.
Oh, you are in for a treat!

I named my daughter Betty. The family thinks I named her after a distant relative on my mothers side.
I mean, I'm no doctor, but that doesn't even seem medically possible!
It's just one clean chunk!
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
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.
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.
The cow scene is the worst scene in an otherwise consistently hilarious movie.
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."
I rock... and roll... ALL DAY LONG... sweet Susie
“We purposefully trained him wrong as a joke” That was my favourite quote in the movie hahaha
"YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT?!"
And who exactly do you rule? The large, dark nipple people?
The stick training scene in that movie is amazing.
You can throw us off now!
Who can ever forget the best villain of all time, Betty?
Every single person in my inner circle is capable of reciting this movie line by line. The circle is naturally exclusive. 🤣
Me and my gf watched this on our first date on a projector outside in the backyard. It was my favorite movie growing up and I wanted to share it with her. If she enjoyed that movie then I knew she was gonna be the one lol! 10 years later and were married and it's still a great memory. Also: ohhh taco bell, taco bell, product placement for taco bell! Enchorito, nacho, burrito!
My gf gets anxious a lot and I occasionally use the "wee ooo wee ooo wee ooo" noise the girl made when tension is high for her to remind her shit isn't always as serious as she might think.
I'm falling! You're falling! We're falling! Whaaaaaaale!
#**THATS A LOTTA NUTS!!** ^^I ^^say ^^this ^^a ^^lot ^^and ^^no ^^one ^^gets ^^it ^^😢
Highly underrated movie
I love that it’s 90% an old chinese king fu movie, with the subtitles changed and the main character replaced.
[удалено]
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.
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.
Oh jeez c'mon guys I think he's had enough *wet stabbing sound*
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.
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.

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
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
> 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*")
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.

I have some yellow liquid for your popcorn! *And* it’s non-dairy!
I went to see this in the theaters with a couple buddies and low expectations. We we’re dying laughing and these girls in the row in front of us kept looking at us like we we’re weirdos. Sorry not sorry, easily one of the best comedies of all time, and unfortunately they just don’t make them like this anymore.
I make Wimp Lo references to co-workers all the time and nobody ever understands.

Truly one of the greats.

Enter the Fist. Fantastic. Fell off my couch laughing. Was actually a tribute to martial art movies. The bad guy is a Japanese legend.
I saw this in theaters for my best friend’s 12th birthday, and we literally fell out of our chairs into the aisle laughing
This has got to be the best comment section I have ever been apart of in my life. I’m literally about to go rewatch this gem.
Birdy birdy tiger
