Lol, I watched the original movie that Oedekerk got all the footage from "Tiger and Crane Fists" and I broke down laughing as I saw the "Bird, birdy!" scene.
Dude i remember almost shitting my pants laughing when I first saw this part. The way they just intentionally dubbed over actual 1970's hong kong movie footage with the most absurd lines ever had my sides in orbit.
This movie should have got way more praise than it did! As I recall, when it first came out the critics hated it and the audience was apathetic to it at best. I felt like I was the only person in my state that thought it was the funniest movie I had seen in years! I'm happy to see that it actually does have an enthusiastic cult following! :)
"It is evil. Mmeehh. It is so evil. It is a bad bad plan that will hurt people that are good" My answer everytime there is question in class presentation
I saw this movie when it came out and I was laughing so hard I was wheezing and crying. How this film ever made it to the theaters at all is a great mystery, but I'm so glad it did.
Steve Oedekerk had a name for himself back then - he already directed a few profitable movies including Ace Ventura 2. I think that gave him the cred to get a major studio to believe in this absolutely insane project.
1:00 He is a great magician! Look, he went from changing clothes colors to mastering the art of transparency! Is there nothing that can stop such power?!
@@younglove3362 The guy who made it has been writing the sequel since 2015 and no news of cancellation have been announced (to my knowledge) so maybe we will get a sequel but I doubt it.
I remember watching this on a bootleg dvd copy back in 02. We were on duty in an internet cafe in the phils and everyone icluding the customers who were glancing at my computer were laughing their asses off. This is a timeless classic
That's a crying shame. We need more movies like this. Lol But then a sequel would get canceled by squishy snowflakes having meltdowns over "appropriating Asian culture" or some other type of nonsense.
I was fortunate enough to have seem this movie on its opening weekend. I didn't know much about it but my step dad said it was a funny Kungg Fu flick and it was a rare thing that my step dad ever wanted to go to the theaters, I laughed my as off and told all my friends about it at school.
lol so funny how he says the dumbest shit and everyone has to suck up to him hahahaha. Like "Birdie fly to the sky and birdy have feather birdy birdy birdy..." "WOW Master Betty please! Tell us more!" lmao
I rented this movie and we watched it stoned. First 10 mins i got hassled by my friends that i rented such a bad movie. After those 10 mins we had the best movie experience of our lives. Literally crying from laughture. Must have recommended this movie to every stoner kid in my town. It became a legend.
I remember seeing this gem as a kid when it randomly appeared on the TV. Such a fantastic movie. I still watch it from time to time and introduce friends to it. 10/10 would see a cow doing Kung Fu again.
There's a spell in D&D called faerie fire that causes the enemy to glow with a distinctly coloured aura (player chooses the colour between blue, green, and purple) and become much easier to hit. Oddly there's no pose or gesture required to cast it, and no material component either; it's a purely verbal spell. From now on when I use it, I'm just gonna say "your clothes are green!"
My dumass just realized that part of the reason this scene is so funny is cause when he says "your clothes are red/black" they show the dude wearing red or black clothes cause they took the source shots from different scenes where the clothes were different xDDD
0:24 I love how they used a shot that ends with Betty looking down slightly, so it actually kind of seems like he's focusing intently trying to change the guy's clothes. Little touches like that make this movie great.
I mark the timeline of my life in two eras: Before Kung Pow, and After Kung Pow. To this day, I let my anger be as a monkey in a pinata, hoping the kids don't break through to the candy.
I never realized he was changing the color of the dudes clothes. I thought he was just saying things he saw and counting that as him having magical powers. My life has been a lie all of these years.
I first watched this when I was about 12, and only a couple weeks ago did I realize that the joke that killing is badong and he has to stand for the opposite, gnodab, was that the two were literally reverse spellings of each other.
@@bobby0411 Calls him stupid when he quoted a line from the movie. You need to watch and pay attention to the movie. I know it's a hard thing to do and process with that level of thinking. But please try.
The fact that the goon’s voice editing doesn’t change pitch or volume while hes running is what gets me. Like it’s alarmingly obvious it’s just the guy mumbling into the mic like once and they didn’t do any more with it. 😂
Ling: He spends his time at the waterfall swinging a chain around. Later, Betty humming at the waterfall while swinging his chain around: "Swinging a chain, swinging a chain ..." 😂
