    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      To create the effect of bad dubbing, writer Steve Oedekerk wrote a script of nonsensical dialogue for the actors to say. The real dialogue was dubbed during post-production. For example, when Chosen One says, "But, isn't Betty a woman's name?" If you read his lips, he says, "But, isn't Yahtzee a family game?"
    • Goofs
      When the Chosen One talks to his friends while they're wounded in the field, he has a tattoo saying "Mouth" with an arrow on his right cheek. The tattoo is given to him by an old man in a deleted torture scene, and can't be seen in any other scenes in the film.
    • Quotes

      Master Tang: Pay no attention to Wimp Lo, we purposely trained him wrong... as a joke.

    • Crazy credits
      Outtakes from the film (some real, some faked) play through the first couple minutes of the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      Uses footage from Hu hao shuang xing (1976) with actors digitally inserted into original scenes, and new dialogue overdubbed.
    • Connections
      Edited from Hu hao shuang xing (1976)
    • Soundtracks
      From Rusholme with Love
      Contains elements of "Acka Raga" from the Album "Indo-Jazz Fusions"
      Written by Neil Claxton, Chris Baker and John Mayer
      Performed by Mint Royale
      Courtesy of Faith and Hope Records/MCA Records
      John Mayer appears courtesy of Universal Classics and Jazz

    Needs to be watched in the right mind-set
    I first saw Kung-Pow on DVD with friends who had seen it in the theater and loved it. But they said that people had been walking out of the theater, lots of people. Despite this, I still watched. Everyone around me knew the jokes, and knew when to laugh. I quickly picked up on Oedekerk's sense of humor in this movie, and I ended up loving the movie. If it hadn't been for my friends, I could easily see myself hating this movie too.

    There are so many things that seem like mistakes, but are done *on purpose* by Oedekirk. If it looks like a mistake, it's probably a joke. After all, it is a spoof type movie.
