I think this looks incredibly stupid and I found nothing funny in the trailer. Does anybody want to see it?

Hell no. The commercials laud it because it's directed by the same guy who did Ace Ventura II. Now there's a reason to get excited.

If you go in knowing this movie is going to be stupid, then It will probably be a nice little 90 minute way to kill a night, and have a few laughs.
Im not expecting something groundbreaking here.

I thought it looked funny. Probably will wait for it as a rental, but will watch it. I think brainless fun movies are a good way to pass a cold winter day.

You know it's good when they say the director of Ace Ventura 2, instead of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, which is what it's called.
Anyway, I read somewhere that this Kung Pow is actually a 70's kung-fu movie, with Steve Oderkirk(the main guy, whatever the hell his name is.) digitally added into the scenes, with all the original dialog changed to be "funny" lines. Sorry I don't know where the hell I saw it at, but there's a Comedy Central special on it tonight or sometime this week, which I will watch to check. Not that I care, it looks kinda dumb to me, there's probably not even any cans in it.

That movie looks incredibly moronic. I think that the trailer looked even more stupid than Scary Movie 2.
Now THATS stupid!

Damn! This film looks so fucking stupid! The first time I saw the trailer, it was so bad, I closed my eyes in digust. It's safe to say that I will not be seeing this film. But then again, maybe I will see it. Why? So I can beat the living shit out of it in my review.

Deuce Bigalow had a great Matrix spoof. It was also the first film to do it, impressive considering they came out in the same year.

This film looks incredibly stoopid. Was it supposed to be funny? Because I was not laughing at all...

Yup, it's based on a old school 1970's film. Too bad he didn't pick a Chang Cheh one....stupid bastid! It does look gay...
But IMO it's a huge disgrace to kung fu fans around the world....This crap is just......crap.
I'll just stick with good shiet like Chinese Super Ninjas and One-Armed Swordsman if I want old school......

gotta give the guy credit tho, he is making this cause he's a die hard fan of Kung Fu movies....I'm glad he didn't say Hong Kong films, cause those are in a different league. So I guess I can call this a Gwai Lo Kung Fu movie! http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif
