Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
dsalouk Balls of Fury is an attempt at greatness but falls flat, mostly due to the shamble-creating Don Fogler. His comedic style constantly stays in the mud, and for a movie like Balls of Fury to depend on him carrying it, of course the whole house then falls flat. This movie is an example of him being unable to spear-head a movie, and that he is better built for supporting roles. Even the redeemable Walken, showcasing his self- parody style and perfect dialogue delivery, could not help lift or alleviate the walking corpse that this movie is. It has few redeemable features, its stupidly predictable, and has little to offer to the genre of comedy.
LangtreeFilmClub This film Is a good film very funny But the cast is very poor. A good family film that would appeal to all ages. This film is about a bloke who starts off as a great table tennis player who wins lots of awards but in later life he loses his form and when the FBI get involved they want him to compete in a secret championship, so he visits China for some coaching. Some time later he competes in the secret championship where he defeats three players who loose their life as a result of loosing and then when he reaches the final he is faced with a tougher challenge which could have life of death consequences. When death is mentioned the threat is real and his life hangs in the balance.
thinker1691 In 1973 the greatest martial artist appeared on the American silver screen in a film called ' Fists of fury.' His name was Bruce Lee. Since then dozens of martial art movies have followed. Some good, others fair, with the majority being mere imitations. Serious films involving the finest of oriental arts are rare, therefore the ones which capture American audiences today are often comedies. Here is one example. The film is called " Balls of Fury." If you have seen 'Fists of fury' you'll have no difficult seeing the parody in this movie. It's the story of Randy Daytona (Brett Delbuone), a young boy who's father Peter (Robert Patrick) was murdered by an Asian gangster, causing him to lose a Ping-Pong tournament. It's 19 years later and Randy (Dan Fogler) is sough-out and recruited by F.B.I. agent Rodriquez (George Lopez) to enter an international underground Ping-Pong tournament organized by Feng (Christopher Walken). Knowing he will need to be trained for the tournament Randy is given over a Master (James Hong) and his beautiful daughter (Maggie Q). With Jason Scott Lee playing Siu-Foo and other serious Hollywood actors, this is one movie which creates an assortment of slap-stick gags and amusing on-sight hilarity. It's fun to watch and with Walken playing the heavy sure to keep your funny bone active. Great movie and an honest comic tribute to the late Bruce Lee. ****
Neil Welch A cross between Enter The Dragon, the Karate Kid movies, and the Bruce Lee story, only with ping pong as the central martial art.The main character is Dan Fogler - not someone I was familiar and, as a dumpy fellow with a humorous but unattractive haircut, not the likeliest of protagonists - and he plays a loser with hidden strengths very well. The supporting cast is fabulous, starting with Christopher Walken having an absolute ball, and carrying on with James Hong, Maggie Q, George Lopez, Jason Scott Lee and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.The movie is completely daft, amusing throughout (though not particularly hilarious) and passes an amiable hour and a half. It is never going to win any prizes, but I enjoyed it and didn't feel I had wasted my time.
