Kung Pow: Enter The Fist

Steve Oedekerk loves 1970s Hong Kong martial arts films, especially their exaggerated visual style, bizarre music and thunderous sound effects. As a young boy he fantasized about being in one, and now he is...literally. In KUNG POW, Oedekerk’s cinematic alter-ego, The Chosen One, is looking to avenge the death of his family at the hands of the seemingly invincible Master Pain (who early in the story inexplicably changes his name to Betty). Playing a “supporting” role is Tonguey, a creature inhabiting the Chosen One’s tongue. Other characters who figure prominently in KUNG POW are the Chosen One’s love interest, Ling; the proctologically inclined Master Tang (“He’s got real issues,” says Oedekerk); the hapless Wimp Lo, who was purposely trained wrong by Master Tang as a joke, and the uni-breasted knock-out, Whoa. Unlike any movie before, KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST is an off-the-wall comedy and a whole new motion picture genre.
