sometimes to slow and clunky with its character writing but its still very delightfull and funny. i wish it had better treatment for its female characters but to be fair, apparantely stephen chow is making another shaolin soccer film specifically starring an all woman cast.
not much to say besides the fact that stephen chow loves martial arts films which leads to the slight parody working. if anything, if someone behind a parody film loves the thing they parody then there is a higher chance that its good.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliriously fun fusion of slapstick comedy and over-the-top martial arts spectacle, where kung fu monks discover they're unstoppable on the soccer pitch. It's earnestly absurd, visually inventive, and designed purely to make you grin.
