About this product
Product Information
The literal translation of 'Tae Kwan Do', THE FOOT FIST WAY is a hilarious look at a suburban North Carolina strip mall martial arts school run by a bullying egotist (Danny McBride). Shot on the cheap--in just 19 days--the film uses its shortcomings to its advantage, keeping the action low, the kicks flying, the wood splintering, and getting all the minutiae of after-school karate class just right. Co-screenwriter/star McBride brings realistic gym coach qualities galore to his character, Mr. Simmons; the deadpan documentary tone is spot-on and there's a sense these students are actually learning this art as the movie goes on. McBride's writing partners play other Tae Kwan Do professionals: Ben Best is fun as the debauched action movie star rival, Chuck the Trucki; co-writer/director Jody Hill shows up in a hilarious bit as Simmons's mystical fifth-level black belt compadre. Mary-Jane Bostic is frighteningly vivid as the spandex-clad, habitually unfaithful Mrs. Simmons. Stylistically, this comedy has a lot in common with deadpan fly-on-the-wall mockumentaries like THE OFFICE and BORAT. Thematically, there are in-depth looks into issues of male maturity and bonding, so beloved of the Will Ferrell genre (Ferrell's company snatched it up after it rocked the house at Sundance). Be warned: though the movie is full of little kids, it has more than it's share of disrespectful language and drugs/sex/violence-filled situations. The very cool prog rock score is by Pyramid.Product Identifiers

ReviewsRolling Stone - Hilarious... Danny McBride is a comic dynamo... The movie cares only about funny, Sight And Sound - THE FOOT FIST WAY is a comic debut to stand alongside Wes Anderson's 1996 BOTTLE ROCKET... A consistently funny film, Empire - The conclusion is poignant, redemptive and surprisingly upbeat, USA Today - THE FOOT FIST WAY has plenty of moments of gut-busting humor... Danny McBride is hilarious as the strip-mall martial arts master, New York Times - An itsy-bitsy, ultra-indie, super-silly comedy packing huge laughs and unexpected heart, Los Angeles Times - THE FOOT FIST WAY is the sort of nimble oddball discovery that one wishes would come along more often... A rudely uproarious look at the implacably unknowing doofus caged inside all of us

Great Fun
Such a good movie. Funny but actually not far off how some martial artists take themselves way too seriously. Reminded me of my old TaeKwon-Do class but with some classic comedy moments. A great movie for comedy fans and martial artists alike.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
