So incredibly stupid (mostly complimentary), but it makes me laugh more than enough times, and they did a pretty great job blending the old and new footage. I even watched the making of featurette on the dvd after to see the before and after's.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delirious, anything-goes comedy that remixes 70s kung-fu films with absurdist humor and modern sensibilities, prioritizing laugh-out-loud weirdness over coherent storytelling. It's exhausting, ridiculous, and gleefully committed to its own nonsense.
