When the goalkeeper was injured and retired from the game, Stephen Chow said the line "You're just a man leaving, but the spirit will always be here", which is his tribute to his idol Bruce Lee. 守门员受伤退场时,周星驰说的那句台词“你只是人离开,精神永远会在这里”,是他对偶像李小龙的致敬。
Those movies are not underrated. That word is so overrated. I can’t think of one person who’s into martial movies that haven’t seen kung fu hustle the critics and box office is good in us and china.
The word 'underrated' is so overused 😂 'Underrated' would imply that these movies are not quite well-known despite their quality, but they are pretty well-known and well received. The example of underrated kungfu/comedy would be 'Kung-Pow'.
Fun Fact: Danny Kwok-Kwan Chan who played the Bruce Lee-like goal keeper would eventually end up playing Bruce Lee in multiple projects. The first was the TV series "The Legend of Bruce Lee" (Li Xiao Long chuan qi (2008), then again in "Ip Man 3" (2015) and "Ip Man 4: The Finale" (2019). Also, I've loved this movie since I was a kid, it's hands down one of the most hysterical films I've ever experienced. No matter how many times I watch it I just crack up and I am glad you guys enjoyed this one!
I randomly came across this movie by chance a few years after it’s release. The title seemed pretty self-explanatory. I love Shaolin Kung Fu. I love soccer, so I bought it on DVD on a whim. I was beyond surprised at how well both the action and comedy were executed. Also, nobody seems to mention just how good the special effects were. I was really impressed to later learn that Stephen Chow was the director, writer,, main character & did his own English dub as well. Chow’s name grew with the success of Kung Fu Hustle but Shaolin Soccer, in the West, seemed to be the gem that first put us on notice of what he could do.
stephen chow movies has so much replayability in them. these are the movies that i could watch for the nth time and still enjoy it. simplest jokes but with perfect execution.
@@wasselnuman3079except he said in an interview they did not accept any of his recommendations. So he has no say in that movie at all. It’s a frickin waste.
my favorite part was when steel leg and iron head were singing and Stephen Chow kept breaking character and kept it in the film... they looked like they really had fun. Glad you boys enjoyed it! its my favorite comedy of all time.
DUDE! So glad you guys are checking this out, I LOVE this movie. Stephen Chow is a genius, his movies are always a good time, he knows how to make a funny entertaining movie.
I can’t think of a better person suited to do that. Usually they try to make it too realistic and it ends up being pretty awful, they need to take lessons from Chow.
Journey to the West has nothing to do with anime. Journey to the West is a classic Chinese novel published in the Ming Dynasty. Journey to the West was published in 1590, 433 years ago
An underrated thing Stephen chow does in his movies is having select characters speak in mandarin instead of Cantonese. He does it in this movie with ahmei and he sounds so innocent and noob speaking mandarin lol
And now I can't unsee the idea of shuri testing her synthetic herb as a crossover with this universe. Fun fact the response to this movie led to the line in Kung Fu Hustle of "No more soccer!"
So many stephen chow classic movie like" from beijing with love" its parody of james bond, " all for the winner" its story about poker gambler, "god of cookery", and "journey to the west (pandora box)" story about stephen chow its reincarnation of Monkey king (Sun wukong) and many more stephen chow movie but for now i recommend that's four movie
Mui, she shaved her head to become a nun (see her clothing) to appropriately be able to join the "shaolin" soccer team as the goalie. Fun fact, the "bald" head took 8-10 hours of makeup daily on set. The "ugly pimple face" took like 4 hours of makeup daily on set. Her face became clean because she went to do a makeover at the salon before the 25:16 scene. The hairdresser wipe her snot on her shoulder, that scene. So here at 25:16 you can see her face is already cleared up before the final nun goalie scene. Stephen Chow also made sure each scene is done well, lines are delivered with exactly what he wanted from the actors/actresses. He made sure the dialogue and words used are expressed with excellence. That's how the comedy is perfected. You got the DVD, but I don't know why the subtitles are not fully accurate to the translation (its not the original English subtitles from Miramax). Perhaps there is another subtitles you can set to in the dvd option? At least the sound effects are original. Here, you cut out the portions of some of the music that were changed to english music so couldn't tell if this part was correct.
"Why do you look like ET?" gave me one of the hardest laughs of any movie when I first watched it. Still cracks me up, this film is a classic! Regarding the shaven head, Shaolin Monks traditionally shave their heads, although I've seen the reasons debated.
I always suggest this one when ever someone watches Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle, if you can find it, God of Cookery is batshit insane. like Iron Chef (the OG) taken to a ridiculous degree.
Shaolin Soccer is the best live action anime there is! Chow movies are basically comedy like Zucker Brothers movies (Naked Gun, Air Plane etc) but more surprising, combined with a freaking awesome action movie! Love it
Aside form Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer & Journey to the west. The rest are too chinese for westerners to fully pick up. There is only one other good movie "The Mermaid" directed by Stephen Chow but he didn't star in it and most of the cast is from Mainland China so it's missing the zany HK humor but it's worth a watch.
Golden leg didn't mess up, he was bribed to fail his last penalty. He said trash to Hung because he was the one delivering the message, but he took the check, sealing his fate because Hung arranged for his leg to be broken.
Bloopers are a lost art :/ Rush Hour bloopers were always some of my favorites. As far as this movie being re-watchable, I feel this and a good chunk of Stephen Chow movies are rewatchable af.
California Dreamin’ is used in the mighty leg and iron head song. That girl who plays goalie wants to look like a monk but becomes ET. The subtitles don’t do the movie justice because some scenes could be more funny knowing Cantonese.
Kung fu makes you stronger and faster, agile. I have the impression that in the USA, they are no longer used to seeing these kinds of films. Yet at one time, there was Jacky Chan! Certainly with Jacky Chan it was more realistic, but here we are really inspired by the martial art
Soccer-fices have to be made... Good one! I am glad you found this on DVD. It's nice to actually own a tangible version of the film, that won't ever disappear, if the streaming company happens to go bankrupt or something. ALSO, most of the streaming versions you can find have cut the first part out, which shows the back story of Golden Leg. There are also a few other things that seem to be cut, too. There used to be a few lower quality versions of the whole film, in various languages, but most of them were taken down. The dubbed versions aren't bad. (at least compared to other films) The main reason is that I think the actors in most cases dubbed their own voices. It's the same way for Kung Fu Hustle. One thing that typically plagues dubbed foreign films is that there is very little attempt to match the voice actors to the visual actors. This is one of my favorites, and I have no problem watching it again, whenever I feel like it. To me, it never gets old. You might want to check out some of his older stuff. Try "Flirting Scholar".
A lot of the scenes in the movie are references to old chinese movies like the song at the beginning, there's an old chinese musical where they sing like that, the dance is also a homage to Thriller
If u understand native Cantonese it would be much more funnier , absolutely funnier than English dubbed , sometimes u can’t just directly translate the language
Glad you got to this!! And usually i agree with no dubbing, but the dubbed version as a 12 year old could have me and brothers buckle over from just saying "I am iron headddd"
After SHAOLIN SOCCER and Kung Fu Hustle you must watch the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. In this one Stephen Chow is only the director and did not play a main role as the previous two but the movie is still great
Stejpen Chow most under rated Chinese star in North America. Should be up there next to Jaackie, Donnie Yen, and Chow Yun as the 4 faces of mount rushmore of post Bruce Lee martial arts stars.
The reason she shaved her head: in the movie she said she didn't know how to trim her hair so she just cut it (this is a call back to the fact that she's very naive and knows nothing about cosmetics and stuffs). also, Shaolin is supposed to train monk but nobody in the Shaolin team shaved their hairs. so it makes sense if one person finally shaved hair.
When the goalkeeper was injured and retired from the game, Stephen Chow said the line "You're just a man leaving, but the spirit will always be here", which is his tribute to his idol Bruce Lee.
守门员受伤退场时,周星驰说的那句台词“你只是人离开,精神永远会在这里”,是他对偶像李小龙的致敬。
This, and Kung Fu Hustle are such underrated comedies, it's criminal. I had so much fun watching those movies.
stephen chows older movies are all so good. its just a shame a lot of then dont have the best subs.
Those movies are not underrated. That word is so overrated. I can’t think of one person who’s into martial movies that haven’t seen kung fu hustle the critics and box office is good in us and china.

@@MagicDonut00 his older movies are so local, foreigners can't get it

True, that guys feels like identical to Bruce Lee. It's like the belief of reincarnation became reality! 🤯
He is also the leader of the Axe Gang in Kung Fu Hustle.
This movie is legendary. One of the greatest action comedies of all time. I died watching with you guys, thank you lmao

If anyone deserved to make a Dragonball movie it was Stephen Chow. He gets the comedy and the anime style action.
actually he fit for "One Punch Man" character
Actually his movies are inspired by cartoons, not anime. He used to say that
Stephen chow was the producer of "Dragon ball evolution"...😂😂
@@wasselnuman3079except he said in an interview they did not accept any of his recommendations. So he has no say in that movie at all. It’s a frickin waste.
@@wasselnuman3079 He hate the team didn't listen to his opinions, and he refuse to join the promote activities for that shit DBE

@ryuzaki1436 nah dude I love subs
@Ryuzaki weak
Hey, on the bright side. Instead of a fantastically amazing Steven Cho masterpiece of a Dragonball movie... we got Dragonball Evolution.
Stephen Chow should make a live action anime. Journey to the West was pretty darn close and I really enjoyed it.
I can’t think of a better person suited to do that. Usually they try to make it too realistic and it ends up being pretty awful, they need to take lessons from Chow.
Fantastic idea.
very true!
Im sad he didnt make more of Journey to the West.
Journey to the West has nothing to do with anime. Journey to the West is a classic Chinese novel published in the Ming Dynasty. Journey to the West was published in 1590, 433 years ago
An underrated thing Stephen chow does in his movies is having select characters speak in mandarin instead of Cantonese. He does it in this movie with ahmei and he sounds so innocent and noob speaking mandarin lol
the last masterpiece of the Hong Kong film industry after the exit from the British Empire

This movie is so outrageous it's so fun to watch. Entertainment at it's finest. Still so confused even after the end credit rolls 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely the most genuine reaction that I have ever seen. It's so real.
This is one of those times you see a title and a set of reactors and think, yeah, they're gonna love this.
I watched this movie a few times already but still laughed so hard when I watched your video.

When he says phone home ET he actually says "earth is very dangerous, go back to Mars" which is also very funny cus he sounds genuinely concerned.
I always suggest this one when ever someone watches Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle, if you can find it, God of Cookery is batshit insane. like Iron Chef (the OG) taken to a ridiculous degree.
I saw this movie at a gaming con, and loved it so much that it was the first DVD i bought!
Stephen Chow's a comedy genius! 😂😂😂
Definitely one of my top favorite comedies of all time, never laughed so hard over a movie in my life.
Honestly, most funniest and genuine reactions I've seen
Man! You guys made me laughed so hard that my stomach actually started hurting.
About her shaving her head, she literally said that she didn't know how to cut her hair so shaving her head was faster.
Perfect timing for the World Cup!
If you love Stephen Chow you gotta watch these --> From Beijing With Love, Fight Back To School, God Of Gamblers, Fist Of Fury
Shaolin Soccer is the best live action anime there is!
Chow movies are basically comedy like Zucker Brothers movies (Naked Gun, Air Plane etc) but more surprising, combined with a freaking awesome action movie!
Love it

I'm really glad is guys liked the movie and the outtakes , I was one of my favorite Chinese comedies I was introduced to almost 15 years ago
All Stephen Chow movie are funnies
Stephen chow The best comedy actor...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That scene where they were singing in the bar, they left in the takes where they broke characters
This movie is basically like the Chinese equivalent to Police Academy.
Golden leg didn't mess up, he was bribed to fail his last penalty. He said trash to Hung because he was the one delivering the message, but he took the check, sealing his fate because Hung arranged for his leg to be broken.
Brooo this movie was so early for the year that it comes out xD
Man we watched this in May 2021 with friends and holy crap it was amazing. Non stop laughter
One of my all time favorite movies. The English dub is the funniest
That finale gets me every time!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣great review guys
The first moments we see of Chow in KungFu Hustle its a throwback to this movie
God of Cookery - you gotta do it next. Stephen Chow has so many legendary films.
physics still more realistic than F9
Stephen Chow's movies are the best.
Best duo since peanut butter and jelly Ty guys for the positive energy 😂🙏🏽
Around 4 mins: The deepest comment ever "-He did something!" Brilliant. My hat is off.
32:10 "She's phoning home." Dude I swear I couldn't hold it!🤣🤣🤣
I'm happy you finally watched this, and enjoyed it so much.
12:08 is when you order Tenacious D from Wish
Bloopers are a lost art :/
Rush Hour bloopers were always some of my favorites.
As far as this movie being re-watchable, I feel this and a good chunk of Stephen Chow movies are rewatchable af.
“You don’t belong Earth” was a catchphrase at that time
The guys react to more Stephen Chow! WOOO!
i love that Stephen Chow is the answer to Edgar Wright. ❤
I'm one of the very rare ones that likes this more then Kung Fu Hustle. Not bashing it in anyway. I just thoroughly enjoyed this more.
I really like your vibe. I think you would have a blast watching "Hot Fuzz". One of the best comedies ever written.
Yes! Finally they're watching this movie! It's one of my favorite movies of all time! 🤩🔥🤩🔥🤩🔥🤩🔥

That E.T. girl was in the movie "Red Cliff" directed by John Wu. Good movie.
You need to do God of cookery next. It's hilarious!
stephen chow is the best
finally, after all these years, Stephen chow gonna direct a new Shaolin women soccer. I hope it would be fun. but I doubt it can beat the first movie.
A lot of the scenes in the movie are references to old chinese movies like the song at the beginning, there's an old chinese musical where they sing like that, the dance is also a homage to Thriller
If you enjoy Stephen Chow's movies you should definitely check out God of Cookery. I promise you, you will never see the ending coming.
Damnnn you guys are my new fav reactors just subscribed
It’s funny that most of the main actors also played characters in Kung Fu Hustle lol
There is a karate style called Shaolin kempo it basically defense then offense.Took it when I was younger.
you guys have been reacting to so many of my favorite movies & this one is a childhood favorite of mine ☺️ love the channel
I feel Stephen Chow movies are the only movies it's ok to watch in English dub, the voices make it so much funnier.
Yeah the englisg VA 's make it funnier than it already is.'
If u understand native Cantonese it would be much more funnier , absolutely funnier than English dubbed , sometimes u can’t just directly translate the language
Stephen chow the Great!
next kungfu hustle,, stephen chow director and acktor,,
You need to see “Kung Pow: Enter the Fist”.
If you want insane Kung Fu movies. Check out - Kung Pow, and Yakuza Apocalypse.
One has a fight with a cow, and and the other has a frog and vampires.
im new in this channel and I never seen such a excited reaction 😂😂😂😂
Glad you got to this!! And usually i agree with no dubbing, but the dubbed version as a 12 year old could have me and brothers buckle over from just saying "I am iron headddd"
She's phoning home.... I almost died :)
THE feel good sleeper from 2001.
Yesss!! One of the funniest movies ever!
You guys are easily two of the beat reactors on TH-cam.
I love your channel and your energy.
Keep up the amazing work 👏
Whilst it doesn't hold up to this or Kung Fu hustle, if you want another fever dream watch 'Kung Pow' 😃
I knew you would explode at the E.T. joke.🤣
I love this movie and this reaction. This is my kind of humor. 😅😂🤣
After SHAOLIN SOCCER and Kung Fu Hustle you must watch the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. In this one Stephen Chow is only the director and did not play a main role as the previous two but the movie is still great
This is my first time here and you guys are hilarious
Stejpen Chow most under rated Chinese star in North America. Should be up there next to Jaackie, Donnie Yen, and Chow Yun as the 4 faces of mount rushmore of post Bruce Lee martial arts stars.
Please do a review on Steven Chow’s King of Comedy
He killed the flies that flew around her head by slapping her. That's why her skin cleared up.
The reason she shaved her head: in the movie she said she didn't know how to trim her hair so she just cut it (this is a call back to the fact that she's very naive and knows nothing about cosmetics and stuffs). also, Shaolin is supposed to train monk but nobody in the Shaolin team shaved their hairs. so it makes sense if one person finally shaved hair.
Watch “Out of the Dark”. That’s one of Stephen chow’s movies in the 90s and is funny too.
2001年 (少林足球) 包括,喜,怒,哀,樂,電影 到目前為止 也無法超越!超級棒的電影!
You two have got to see Rudy Ray's Petey Wheatstraw: The Devil's Son-n-Law! Its here on youtube and on Tubi! 😂
Stephen chow the GOAT.
You have watched kung fu hustle and shaolin soccer, but many people seems havent watched cj7. its another briliant movie made by chow
your reaction on this is gold hahaha, more Stephen Chow's movie plz!
Huge respect for not watching english dub! I highly recommend you check out 3 Idiots.
You guys should watch all movies from Stephen chow! Its awesome.
lmao your reactions were funny af!
Love the reaction guys 🫶🏻✨
