positive · AI labelView post →215.) Shaolin Soccer (2001) A nice fun movie about how much Shaolin kung fu rules and will make your life better in every conceivable way. I fucking love Stephen Chow mixing wuxia style martial arts with mundane, everyday settings. It makes you appreciate them all the more.
positive · AI labelView post →That movie rules. Shaolin Soccer is also pretty good.

positive · AI labelView post →Lol reminds me of Shaolin Soccer, love that movie
positive · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: ‘Shaolin Soccer’ was referenced in Stephen Chow's next film ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ in 2004. During his first appearance in that film, Chow encounters a few boys playing a game of soccer. He stomps on a soccer ball after doing a few tricks, deflating it, and yells, "No more soccer!" (IMDB) 🖤

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally got to introduce the legendary movie, Shaolin Soccer, to my kids. So many laughs!
positive · AI labelView post →I find this especially funny, given that Kung Fu Hustle includes a scene specifically intended to get people to stop asking him to make another Shaolin Soccer movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched 1. Stephen Chow you're my hero 🍜 Iron Chef meets Shaolin Soccer 2. Love letter to baseball weirdos ⚾ 3. Spy thriller that's actually about Cate and Fass being age appropriate power couple 🕶️ 4. Way way better than that George Lucas nostalgia crap #filmsky 📽🎥🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →The bad guys in Shaolin Soccer are called the Evil Team and I’ve always loved that. Also when given the power to manifest any image, that film makes a soccer ball turn into a lion, or a shot knock all the clothes off of the keeper. US directors use it to make endless guns.

positive · AI labelView post →If you liked Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer was a movie made by the same director, and it shares the same type of humour and amazing special effects. Worth checking out if you haven't.

neutral · AI labelView post →Despite not being into team sports, Shaolin Soccer has somehow become one of my go-to comfort watches, a movie that I keep returning to year after year - this must be my fifth rewatch at least. Utterly ridiculous, yet weirdly heartfelt and moving at the same time. #movies

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Shaolin Soccer for the first time in fifteen years, and I don't know why, but this gag still makes me laugh harder than anything else in the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →SHAOLIN SOCCER is on TUBI. This movie is a living Anime & a pure delight. Ted Lasso can kiss my ass because he don't know Kung-Fu. #FilmSky #Comedy #Tubi tubitv.com/movies/10005...

neutral · AI labelView post →I reviewed KUNG FU SOCCER, the new Stephen Chow movie, @ebertvoices.bsky.social. It's a sequel to SHAOLIN SOCCER and Chow estimates that half of the movie's budget was for AI animation. Ahead of tomorrow's review, I'm posting some of my earlier coverage of Chow's post-KUNG FU HUSTLE credits.
neutral · AI labelView post →Love this movie. I also suggest Shaolin Soccer, but I suggest reaching for the uncensored version. The American release one has too much stuff added, like the unnecessary text in the beginning.
