Like Monty Python movies, Kung Pow is a slapstick comedy. The movie is basically a mixture of two old Chinese martial arts movies (very cheesy) with over dubbed audio and video fill in for the main actor who interacts with rest of the characters in the movie. The movie was extremely well edited as well. The end result is absolutely hilarious, but only if you have a sense of humor. Wikipedia's definition of Slapstick: A type of comedy involving exaggerated violence and activities which exceed the boundaries of common sense. I've included this in the review because half the people I talk to about this movie do not like it. These people don't really have much of sense of humor though. If you're a stick in the mud then go away now and forever leave this place. But... if you are a funny person then you will like this movie very much. Just remember it is very much like Monty Python and is slapstick comedy. If you don't know if you are a funny person or not, then... you're not a funny person. But! you could always ask your friends. However, friends are known to lie in order to spare feelings... either way, you've been warned =DRead full review
My kids loved this movie when they were kids. Now my grandchildren are loving it. It's so silly and over the top, but a classic at our house. The DVD is in good condition and we had no problems playing it.

This is one of those really dumb comedies that you have to see once at least, it's a lot like Top Secret, Air Plane, Naked Gun, Hot Shots etc.

Kung Pow is yet another reason why Steve Oedekerk is a comedic genius. He is the Star and mastermind behind this side-splittingly funny spoof of a seventies martial arts film. He used the old seventies movie as a canvas for this original, zany comedy. Some people hate this, probably because they don't like sillyness. If you like this movie, or anything that is awesome and also funny, check out Oedekerk's other works: Ace Ventura, Jimmy Neutron, Thumb Wars, Patch Adams, Evan Almighty, to name a few of his credits. In closing, let me say just one thing about this movie: At one point he reaches down a gofer hole, grabs two gofers, has them bite onto a rope, and uses them as gofer-chucks with which he beats many bad guys with! Complete with a close up of the gofers' face as it goes weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! in a high pitched voice. Need I say more? Yes, I do need say more: Watch this movie!Read full review
This movie should have been a box office smash hit! I feel its grossly overlooked and didn't get the recognition as a comedy masterpiece like it deserves in my opinion😁
