Hong Kong satirist Stephen Chow wrote directed and stars in this hilarious spoof of sports and kung fu movie cliches. Chow plays "Mighty Steel Leg" Sing who can kick soda cans through walls and is a natural soccer star in the eyes of crippled coach Fung Patrick Se Yin who is looking to challenge his arch rival Hung the captain of the aptly named Evil Team. Recruiting Sing and his goofy brothers who all have names like Steel Head Hook Kick Leg and Weight Vest with qualities to match Hung's team soon rises through the ranks via their supernatural Kung Fu soccer skills. There's also a love interest in the form of a shy girl Vicki Zhao Wei who uses martial arts magic in making steamed bread. MATRIX-style digital effects elevate the actor's martial arts skills to ludicrous heights giving the clichd story such a giddy high-octane boost it soars into a comic class by itself. Soccer balls ripple through the air like slo-mo bullets smashing through walls and flying thousands of feet in the air. A box office smash in t
