Siu lam juk kau (Shaolin Soccer) 2001


Hi guys, its been a long time since my last review. I was a bit stuck with my official activities.
Suddenly the Shaolin Soccer popped in to my mind while watching a European Soccer match. I haven't heard about "Stephen Chow" since the movie Shaolin Soccer. First i ignored it when i saw it in a local DVD shop assuming it to be some funny kungfu story.But it wasn't just a story on the importance of Kungfu but an admirable love story.
The film brings out the feeling of Stephen Chow that how Kungfu and our daily life is merged or tangled which each other that we just fail to see and treat Kungfu just as one form or martial arts. Thats just the reason for Chow to merge Kungfu i nto Soccer (an unlikely thought in the martial art movie saga).
Chow not only brings out the charisma of Kungfu but also the technology effects in kungfu movie that has just entered a new dimension. WOW what a visual treat.Its amazing to see the director cum actor/hero give this treat to us.
The movie goes like this...Chow (Sing) returns as a shaolin disciple "mighty steel leg",inspired by soccer Sing wants to enter in to the game to spread out the greatness of kungFu. He teams up with Fung (who was earlier called as famous Golden leg) betrayed by then and by now the evil Hung the manager of "Evil team" Fung's goal is to meet his old rival on the playing field, but first they have to get a team together.
The only way Fungs dream can come true is when Sing and his fellow Shaolin brothers group again and regain their lost powers. The team is supported by the beauty queen at their last minute golden goal.
Last but not the least its a fun with action loaded pack not to miss if your a sports fan specially soccer.
