Shaolin Soccer 2001 IMDb
This fact is undeniable, though the scoreboard for the climactic game between the Shaolin stalwarts and their principal foes, Team Evil — that’s right, a black-garbed Team Evil, part of that Swiftian touch — shows the year as merely the recent past, 2003. Yet the comedy and martial arts material is so timeless — in a Three Stooges directed by the Asian action ace Tsui Hark way — the year might as well be 1983. True love is something that God intended to be a powerful, life-changing thing. It has a deep meaning that is more than just romance, more than just feelings. Love is showing people—and not just the people we like, but also the people we don’t like—that they are more important to us than we ourselves are.

This is not the sort of movie that you can easily wrap your brain around, and it’s probably for the best if you don’t even try. I think it’s been mentioned in similar terms by my peers, but Shaolin Soccer appears to be the confused but sort of cute love child of Baz Luhrman, Bruce Lee and… the Gipper. Granted, that’s rather an unlikely ménage à trois, but watch it and try to tell me I’m wrong.

Shaolin Soccer’s multimedia madness is so excusable because most of its antics are more crude than seamless. A box office phenomenon in its native Hong Kong, the film was picked up for U.S. distribution by Miramax way back in October 2001. Not surprisingly (not to mention ironic, considering this zippy film’s fascination safari heat with marketing truth), the studio trimmed the film by a whole 30 minutes for its domestic release. To the studio’s credit, Shaolin Soccer may still hit screens with its original dialogue in tact, but either way, you’re best suited checking out the film’s import DVD for the full effect of its madness.

If you show that you would rather someone else be comfortable than yourself, you are showing them love. And we must remember that Jesus says that this is what we are to be known by. The more you show people love—and remember that this love is not for sissies—the more you prove to them that you are a Christian. At every moment, in every kind of relationship we have, whether with our parents, our best friends, or our enemies, we are either proving to them that we are Christ’s followers, or we are ruining our family name.
The U.S. cut does a better job of integrating the effects and the film, but it’s still not seamless. The encoding for the U.S. cut is done at a disappointing average of 4 Mbps, while the Chinese version is around a 5. Fitting both movies on one one-sided disc has prevented a superb encoding job, but unfortunately, its better than what most people expected, which was getting only the weak U.S. cut. Sing finds his opportunity in Golden Leg Fung, a former soccer superstar who missed a key shot in a national championship game, which ended his playing career violently. His abilities gone, he became the much-abused equipment manager for Team Evil, which is coached by his…well, evil former teammate, Hung. Hung has promised for 20 years to make Fung a coach, but instead, he fires him, his life is ruined.
Lines from the main players sits in the center channel, but you get plenty of activity from the rear speakers to give the dialogue better depth than most movies do. In Sing’s relationship with Mui (Vicki Zhao), a local market girl with severe acne who makes steamed bread using Tai Chi kung fu moves, Chow conjures a meet-cute predicated on all sorts of absurdities and mutual embarrassments. When she shaves her head and slaps her repeatedly on her scarred face in order to shoo a fly away, while she laughs along with Sing’s friends when they ridicule her for her Dynasty-style couture. Where the movie ISN’T so fun is when Sing and Fung are trying to gather their team together. See, the Shaolin brothers are all former masters, but each has lost their way to the humdrum world.
Like “Hustle,” this film heavily employs CGI-animated effects, some of which are, believe it or not, more convincing than those in the newest “Star Wars” prequel (and done for considerably less money). And they’ll need to use all of Sing’s skills if they’re going to combat Hung’s Team Evil, which is the favorite in the World Soccer Championship. And fortunately, most of Sing’s once-estranged friends have agreed to join the heroic team as well.
