In one scene the ball gets kicked so hard that it catches on fire and then turns into a roaring tiger made of flames. What I'm saying is that this is better than every other sports movie ever.
Patrick WillemsDec 17, 2022I feel bad for anyone else who tries to make a movie about soccer. They’ll always be second place to this.

Football is coming home!
Alex IHENov 6, 2021This contains several of the best jokes I’ve ever seen executed in filmmaking. I can’t think of any other filmmaker who knows how to have as much fun as Stephen Chow.

did somebody order a masterpiece

George CarmiSep 4, 2016Feels like there's something missing with the Zhao Wei storyline, an explanation for why Chow is so mean to her. Compare the lovely romance in Kung Fu Hustle or the nuanced rejection of romance in Conquering the Demons. Chow's cruelty toward her comes out of nowhere, and is…

🫎🫎🫎🫎 I bet this is so much more funny if you spoke mandarin. Even reading the subtitles it was funny. I haven’t watched a comedy that was so in tune with using the camera and stupid effects to make it funny. I feel like modern day comedy movies rely heavily on stupid dialogue and offensive…
Takius Smith lovedShaolin SoccerStephen Chow is an Absolute genius, Kung fu Hustle is his best work but this is a Very close second, I wish I had more than 280 chars to describe either of these movies, again if you’re an American, don’t be afraid of the dub, either way if you haven’t watched either movie, DO IT
CvptvinHowdy lovedShaolin SoccerThis is gold! When he said, "Why do you look like E.T.?" It was so fast and random it had me laughing hard.

saw kung fu hustle a while ago and this is the same vibe so all his movies are prolly like this. makes me think of bend it like beckham but men and kung fu and so so so exaggerated. solid physical humor
aeri likedShaolin SoccerIt’s a comedic movie. There is not much special to the story or the characters, but it’s funny and entertaining to watch! 6/10
Doodooboy likedShaolin SoccerRemember this from when I was a kid super goofy movie. They don’t make this type anymore I feel like.

Metacritic
Comedy-action lunacy of a truly high, and endlessly bizarre, order.

James Berardinelli
ReelViews
