Makes Robo Vampire look like Enter the Dragon.

My rifle is primed and ready. The target? Steve Oedekerk. I don't want to kill him, it's nothing like that. Just shoot him in the ass. Why? To show him how painful it is to sit through his latest cinematic abomination, Kung Pow. Oedekerk is the director responsible for such debacles as Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps. Who keeps giving this guy money?

Kung Pow is a film so unbelievably lame, it is unwatchable. I walked out WAY before the end (sorry to disappoint). There is, however, lots to point out. For starters, the opening scenes are very underlit. Secondly, the filmmakers took the time to CGI a martial arts baby with the latest special effects, then roll a dummy down a hill in it's place. What the fuck? Thirdly (that's not the right adverb, is it?), the script is extremely lazy. The cheesy character names (Master Pain, Chew Fat Lip and Wimp Lo for examples) don't even induce chuckles. Finally, the dubbing is annoyingly grating, and hard to sit through. It sounds like Oekedick did every voice.

The Bottom Line: Yes, the trailers are hilarious, but this one-note shtick is poorly executed. See Woody Allen's What's Up Tiger Lily, or the A Fistfull of Yen segment from Kentuck Fried Movie. Those were the same concept (mix new footage with a re-dubbed martial arts flick) with MUCH better results.
