A disgrace to the martial arts genre...


Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

is a movie within a movie, created to spoof the martial arts genre. Writer/director Steve Oedekerk uses contemporary characters and splices them into a 1970s kung-fu film, weaving the new and old together. As the main character, The Chosen One, Oedekerk sets off to avenge the deaths of his parents at the hands of kung-fu legend Master Pain. Along the way, he encounters some strange characters, one of which is a cow trained in the martial arts.

is this the sort of behaviour and attitude we have to movie genres. Spoofs may be funmy and hilarious, yet with such a powerful and dignifying background frrom where it comes from, screen icons that have mad eit possible, well these are affected and i for one would not see this movie.
