@@inquisitive6786I think the mermaid is a pretty funny one as well. The one he did with the little alien doll was just weird though. I mean they are all pretty weird but it was more weird than funny in my opinion.
No one cares, the fact you bother to type this is pointless, its just another reaction channel to get free subs/likes to get free money, i don't understand why twits don't get this, you feel like we're friends with these youtubers
I've watched different reactions to this movie but this was the first time I cried laughing from the reaction 😂, Your reaction to the final kick was hilarious! 🤣
You listened to our comments and you watched it! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This movie was my childhood, it's absolutely fantastic and hilarious and very Hong Kong-esque comedy, Stephen Chow is legendary in the Cantonese-world, I only wish he kept making more movies like this. I've liked and subscribed just for this uploading this reaction! :)
The cartoonish exaggerations were meant for laugh, and it worked. But there are deeper meanings and philosophy behind each segment, like traditional practice (kungfu) vs technology (team evil), soft approach against hard attacks (the taichi keeper vs fireballs) and regaining your confidence. In earlier scenes those guys didnt lose their power or kungfu; they just let life dragged them down and they stayed down without a fight.
EXACTLY! Unfortunately they didn't catch all the Captain Tsubasa reference, of course, because they're america, and I think Captain Tsubasa was never aired there, but... the movie is fullfilled with references to that EPIC anime!
4:46 Lol THe former, injured soccer player was the Shaolin Monk ALL THE TIME ahahahahahahahahaahahahah!!!! I really love this kind of shit, they have me rolling on the floor! :)
Your reactions are the best. Laughing, jumping, coughing, feeling the heartbreak. Other channels reactions (with a lot more views) are so bland and looks like they didn't get the jokes.
I think Kung Fu is not just physical but also spiritual. It may be better to say "spirit" is back instead of "power" is back. All the team memebers were with good skills but found not useful at all when earning a living. And through the friendly game, all were beaten physically and mentally, and then gained back the "spirit" with Kung Fu.
46:00 Fun fact : Shaolin Soccer (2001) has a smaller budget than Kung Fu Hustle (2004). It is because of the success of Shaolin Soccer (2001) that Stephen Chow got his biggest budget ever to make Kung Fu Hustle (2004), which you can see huge improvement in Kung Fu Hustle (2004) in physical special effects, CGI special effects, the scene sets and a lot more stuntmen and choreography (choreographer was from the Matrix). Shaolin Soccer (2001) costs USD10 million to produce. Kung Fu Hustle (2004) USD 20 million. Stephen Chow made both films emphasizing for the international audience in mind. It is his first big break into western market with Shaolin Soccer (2001). He is already very famous and well known in Hong Kong, south-east asia, Asia in general. We love his unique style and humour.
The guy dressed like Bruce Lee because Stephen Chow is his biggest fan. He has paid tribute to him in many movies. In the movie *Kung Fu Hustle*, the scene where the Landlady threatens Brother Sum in the car is also a tribute to Bruce Lee.
I stopped watching this reaction mid way.. i hate when people put logic into movies.. laughing at every scene.."that's not real.. that's not real" I'm like you think avenger are real? Superman are real? I can't 🤣.. im off😂
Ok? And I think they were pointing out more how bad the CGI was and to easily see it’s not real..and wgars wrong with pointing out unrealistic stuff anyways..if it’s not to your liking then I’m happy yall stopped watching cause it was a great reaction..but to each their own
"the man who knew too little" "who am i" "mars attacks" "lucky number slevin" "gross pointe blank" "the long kiss goodnight" are all histerical. If you haven't seen any of them, i recommend them. Some are also very clean action movies too, so bonus😋 I just found you and i cant wait to dig through your reactions.
44:45 This one was good! Of course they got a lot of things wrong, like the goalkeeper can't score a goal by throwing the ball with his hands, that's illegal, no referee would even assign that goal, but HEY, in this kind of movie that wasn't the most absurd thing I guess... I'm glad you liked this one too! :) I'd assign this one a good 8 out of 10, but Kung Fu Hustle it's a 9 and 1/2 out of 10 for me! What do you think, couple? :)
11:02 Its a fung fu style: -White crane -Shaolin -Praying mantis -Tiger style and more, are all different type/schools of kung fu. 33:39 She's crying because he broke her heart, simple as that.
I am glad you guys enjoyed this. This is one of my favourite movie. Though it is too bad that you watched the Americanized version. The legendary Stephen Chow is the Director, Writer, Producer and Main Character for this movie. Same as Kung Fu Hustle (2004). The above 2 are the last 2 movies he acted in :( Mui is a very pretty actress in real life. Her real name is Zhao Wei. and in this movie, her make up for the bald monk character took 8-10 hours. It also took hours to make up for her Ulgy Mui character. 26:57 that one guy that looked like Bruce Lee, is purposely done so because... he looked like Bruce Lee. The goalkeeper is "Danny Kwok" and not only does he looks like Bruce Lee, his costume is dressed as Bruce Lee in Game of Death (1972). did you realize, he is also the main villain in Kung Fu Hustle (2004), the Axe gang boss? The goalkeeper is Stephen Chow's tribute to his idol, Bruce Lee. 22:13 Hong Kong movies are full of real stuntmen. A lot of stunts you see are real, and dangerous and prone to injury. like 28:37 that is actual stuntmen doing somersault. Shaolin Soccer (2001) costs USD10 million to produce. Stephen Chow's idol is Bruce Lee. The opening theme of Shaolin Soccer (2001) is a remix of Bruce Lee's The Way of the Dragon (1972). Creators of the Avatar: The Last Airbender animated television series, are inspired by Shaolin Soccer (2001).
It's not that they have "powers", the idea of kung fu is just like through training you're stronger and more in touch with "chi" like the force in star wars. The "power" is just their conviction and honestly... their dignity lmao.
This was the first Movie directed and played by Stephen Chow if i remember well. A comedy really refreashing, then after he made Kung Fu Hustle and put a ref in the beginning of the movie for the "Shaolin Soccer's Fans". And some actors from this movie were in Kung fu Hustle too with really famous actors/Actresses from Asian movies.
they don't have superpower like typical superheroes, they just have 'chi' through years of kungfu training, it's like how ninja in Naruto have 'chakra'. The problem is their years of kungfu training didn't help their financial problem, that's why they portrayed as poor looser who live in proverty before they decide to use their kungfu as Soccer player.
Oh no, you watched the americanized version. They cut down 22 minutes of the original movie length (so you have missed a lot of context), used overlays, rephrased the subtitles words, changed some music to english music, and they dubbed over all the voice sound effects, strangely). and i am glad you "didn't" find the dub. because you need to hear from the actors directly. the original cantonese language is the best for the nuances, which is what you are hearing in yours, even if it is the americanized version.
i dont know why but in shaolin soccer movie that i downloaded, it got scene that not exist here or in my dvd (like the bribe part or the club beatdown part)
happy to see you guys react to the original audio version with subs! the dubbed version actually changes some of the lines in a way that I think don't help the movie.
26:00 That's a comedy joke. It's pretty popular here in Italy, too. Since flies usually fly over the hunk of shit (like dog shits on the streets), if you implying someone have "flies flying over his/her face" that's mean his/her face looks like shit! :D It's VERY OFFENSIVE!!
Brothers are not true blood related but like in same class in a king fu school, they are like brothers. The hair styler , the one cross dress one is one man that cast in many of his older flims, as a young girl fans, as a local hocker etc. 'Non sense ' style of film is Chow movie style, all unexpected, full of face and body expression, etc but deep in some teaching.
Ya know, Chow is great,...and i know he doesnt want to do sequels, but this movie reminds me of an old video game, Super Dodgeball, but soccer. Chow needs to make that game on the big screen, dodgeball with everyone having special powers,...will be gold as usual from him.
An absolute trash reaction, this movie should be enjoyed without logics, keeping everything aside and just enjoy the movie instead of just trash talking
If you want to watch sone the classic Stephen chow, I recommend Chinese Odyssey 1 vs 2, I think these two movies need more people to reactions. For someone like us who grew up watching Stephen Chow The two films are always legendary. And some other new like mermaid, comedy king 2, Journey to west: Conquer demon, Even though it doesn't have Stephen Chow's acting, it's extremely good and directed by him.
In Kung Fu Hustle, in the very beginning, Stephen Chow stomps a football and says “no more football!” That is a reference to this film
I laughed my butt off seeing that scene. Learning about why it was put in just compounded it!😂
@@solongdentahlplaan7975 Yes this film came before Hustle, and it was Stephen Chow kinda confirming there wont be a sequel to Soccer
@@inquisitive6786I think the mermaid is a pretty funny one as well. The one he did with the little alien doll was just weird though. I mean they are all pretty weird but it was more weird than funny in my opinion.

Kung fu hustle have better story telling and it so good this movie is amazing but not like Kung fu hustle
Stephen Chow's movie run in the 90s was legendary
I watch this one and "Kung Fu Hustle" in the very first 2000s! I saw this one at a theater with my friends... we were rolling on the ground! Lol!
Him: I couldn't find the English dubbed version, sorry guys
Me: Thank goodness 😁
I've watched different reactions to this movie but this was the first time I cried laughing from the reaction 😂, Your reaction to the final kick was hilarious! 🤣
Stephen Chow is THE MAN, THE GOAT, THE LEGEND
They are no blood brothers. They are brothers in shaolin training under the same shifu.
No this movie is 10/10 cinema. A perfect movie. I grew up on this one it’s better every time 😭😭😂😂
"Scott Pilgrim vs the World" is another "Smooth" Comedy.
It's a bit more "Video Game" than "Anime" but same idea.
Yes! Way more people need to react to Scott Pilgrim haha.
You listened to our comments and you watched it! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This movie was my childhood, it's absolutely fantastic and hilarious and very Hong Kong-esque comedy, Stephen Chow is legendary in the Cantonese-world, I only wish he kept making more movies like this. I've liked and subscribed just for this uploading this reaction! :)
Is he still acting and directing movies?
The cartoonish exaggerations were meant for laugh, and it worked. But there are deeper meanings and philosophy behind each segment, like traditional practice (kungfu) vs technology (team evil), soft approach against hard attacks (the taichi keeper vs fireballs) and regaining your confidence. In earlier scenes those guys didnt lose their power or kungfu; they just let life dragged them down and they stayed down without a fight.
The judges and anyone was not stopping Team Evil because all of them including the officials all worked under Team Evil.
I loved this movie. All of Stephen Chows works are impressive
Love dat reaction so much❤
Thank you Mair&Sophie ~
Yess!! the first of the Stephen Chow's double legend!!! Man, if there's ever a live action of Captain Tsubasa, only Stephen Chow deserve to direct it.
EXACTLY! Unfortunately they didn't catch all the Captain Tsubasa reference, of course, because they're america, and I think Captain Tsubasa was never aired there, but... the movie is fullfilled with references to that EPIC anime!

21:23 Mair's reaction is exactly mine whenever I see this scene 😭
Funny part is, the guy who looks like bruce lee in this movie does play him in the ip man movies or other bruce lee movies.
Really? Nice!
Watching movies in original language with subtitles is always best.
If one trains at Shaolin from a young age, you live there without your family, so you really only have your classmates, making them your "brothers".
I think Kung Fu is not just physical but also spiritual. It may be better to say "spirit" is back instead of "power" is back. All the team memebers were with good skills but found not useful at all when earning a living. And through the friendly game, all were beaten physically and mentally, and then gained back the "spirit" with Kung Fu.
bro i love this movie ... i have watched this movie a million times when i was a kid ... love from 🇮🇳

They aren't bio brothers. They are brothers through the same school and batch from martial arts school.

16:32 girl leaving him hanging.... ouch that hurts...
Great review , maybe next you all should watch CJ7 , and Journey to The West . Those movies of his was hilarious.

Super bro😂
Fr real bro, they did that
I'm still at the beginning though I'm off too
Thanks for saving some time of mine
Peace ✌️
Ok? And I think they were pointing out more how bad the CGI was and to easily see it’s not real..and wgars wrong with pointing out unrealistic stuff anyways..if it’s not to your liking then I’m happy yall stopped watching cause it was a great reaction..but to each their own
*NEVER* Bother with Dubs.
I always loved this movie, happy you guys saw it! Funny reaction
"they letting them score...?"
Dude do you even know how far the distance is from the midpoint to a goal on a footballfield? 😂
"the man who knew too little" "who am i" "mars attacks" "lucky number slevin" "gross pointe blank" "the long kiss goodnight" are all histerical. If you haven't seen any of them, i recommend them. Some are also very clean action movies too, so bonus😋

Stephen Chow movies (as I know him) are very complex and entertaining. They fit me perfectly but maybe not everyone and glad you enjoyed.
20:17 reference to saving private Ryan... 😂
11:02
Its a fung fu style:
-White crane
-Shaolin
-Praying mantis
-Tiger style
and more, are all different type/schools of kung fu.
33:39
She's crying because he broke her heart, simple as that.
The goalie is the guy that play the axe gang boss from king fu hustle
Oh wow! I could never recognize him, with long hair! Lol thanks for the detail!
Just note that there are a ton of other jokes left out of this edit of the movie.
always watch the bloopers!
I am glad you guys enjoyed this. This is one of my favourite movie. Though it is too bad that you watched the Americanized version.

31:59 : Why are you running ? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING !!!
watch CJ7 its similar with this movie and the actor is steven chow too
That movie had scenes emulating the scenes from Shaolin Soccer & Kung Fu Hustle. I cracked up when i saw those references.
I wish the movie subtitles were better in the old days.. the cantonese words and humour weren't entirely translated over T_T
It's comedy movie
Yeah, they should just enjoy it
It's not that they have "powers", the idea of kung fu is just like through training you're stronger and more in touch with "chi" like the force in star wars. The "power" is just their conviction and honestly... their dignity lmao.

And some actors from this movie were in Kung fu Hustle too with really famous actors/Actresses from Asian movies.
In Shaolin, the students you train with are your Brothers and Sisters.
Audience barely feels the emotional aspects of Stephen Chow movies.They just enjoy the comic aspect.
Stephen Chow is the Asian version of Jim Carrey.
Press the like button if you agree with me. Hahahahaha.....
they don't have superpower like typical superheroes, they just have 'chi' through years of kungfu training, it's like how ninja in Naruto have 'chakra'.

You should do stephen chows journey to the west, its a great take on the monkey king mythos
God of Cookery next!!!!
Great Reaction!! Success!!
IS LIKE A SKILL, THEY DONT REALLY PRACTICE THAT MUCH AND THEY ARE NOT DOING WELL, IS LIKE A CONFIDENCE THING AS WELL
The main character is Stephen chow. He directs, writes and stars in his goated movies. A top notch comedian.
Golden Leg gave Mighty Steel Leg the ok Hawk Tuah
This is like an anime in real life. It's kind of like Space Jam.

They're not brothers by blood. According to kung fu tradition, if you study together under the same master, you're considered brothers.
all the jokes went over your heads
Well, you can't blame them for not knowing Captain Tsubasa.
Why you leave him hanging like that 😂😂
Asian physical comedy is kinda like...an acquired food taste. 😄 Regardless if it's Chinese, Cambodian, Thai, Vietnamese.
Brothers are not true blood related but like in same class in a king fu school, they are like brothers. The hair styler , the one cross dress one is one man that cast in many of his older flims, as a young girl fans, as a local hocker etc. 'Non sense ' style of film is Chow movie style, all unexpected, full of face and body expression, etc but deep in some teaching.
please react to : Cj7 (2008)
same director/actor ''Stephen Chow''
Stephen chow is the main actor at the same time the director of both movies. Shaolin soccer and Kung Fu hustle.
Loved your reaction! Especially when you fell out of your chair when the goalie's clothes got ripped off 😂 You need to react to the bloopers tho

The legend..
I recommend you see CJ7, of course from Stephen Chow.
sad that stephen chow stopped making films a few years after this,he has started again but only makes a film every four or five years.
His next is Kung FU Hustle 2
@@thomasanderson2384 Wow! I've been heard about this one for years, I can't wait for it to come out!
they're not really brothers. It's more like a brotherhood thing when they were training together
27:00 fr it looks like Bruce leee 😂
We need more movie like this its not that great but make us laugh
Cj7 it’s a good story. Please
Wow cut 20 mins, seriously.
Kung fu and shaolin both are different arts
Try Stephen Chow's King of Comedy for a rollercoaster of emotion
The main character is Stephen Chow
The way she left him hanging...
We appreciate the subtitles.
