Shaolin Soccer
Stephen Chow / HK, US, CN, 2001 / 111 min.
Martial arts meets football in this hilarious Hong Kong comedy that immediately became a cult classic. Unfit shaolin monks fly around the football field, making astounding, physics-defying moves. Superior nonsense.
Director Stephen Chow plays the lead, Sing, a martial arts master turned street sweeper who recruits seven football players from his former monastery to create a team. They join forces with side-lined ex-football players and rejected coaches to play one of the most surreal matches ever against Team Evil.
