When I first saw the trailer- I caught only a few seconds of it and......I thought it was ridiculously stupid.

How I can I be more wrong than ever !!

The movie is due for a North American release this summer but it's probably the best kept secret around. The movie's been out for over a year and has won numerous Asian awards and accolades. In terms of gross success it ranks only second to Spider-man in the Asian market.

Best of all, you can buy the dvd right now at an international video store!!


The movie accounts for the rise of some down and out Shaolin fighters who are gathered together to use their talents for a major soccer tournament. But as one person put it, "you basically get Matrix special effects meets Dragon Ball Z meets traditional Shaolin martial arts. Flying through the air, kicking the ball so hard that it catches fire or tears up the earth. The unrealistic and over the top action is what makes it so funny!!!"

It's a hilarious yet at times serious movie, that will appeal to all ages for sure. :):):)
