Shaolin Soccer, a review by Rich

Shaolin Soccer



With tons of action, eye-popping special effects and nonstop laughs, here's a hilarious martial arts comedy about a team of misfits who take their best shot at winning a championship! Sing is a skilled Shaolin kung fu devotee whose amazing "leg of steel" catches the eye of a soccer coach! Together they assemble a squad of Sing's former Shaolin brothers inspired by the big-money prize in a national soccer competition! Using an unlikely mix of martial arts and newfound soccer skills, it seems an unbeatable combination...until they must face the dreaded Team Evil in the ultimate battle for the title!

Possibly tongue in cheek, some fantastic effects and stunts although oddly timed, this film is so bad I wondered if it was intentionally so? The dubbing was hilarious, clearly English speakers putting on Chinese accents, and the film seemed to miss huge chunks of storyline.
It is an awful mess - but at times hilariously so, and I must admit rolling up several times at it's ineptness.
If you like watching a train wreck on celluloid, get this if it's free!

My Thoughts:
This is one of the movies from the cheap 50 movie boxset that I bought this past October. So naturally going into this one I wasn't expecting much from it. It is better then I was expecting. But it does start out pretty slow story wise... and I found myself wanting to dose off more then once. But once I made it to the last half an hour of the movie it picked up for me. I found it to be a bit on the weird side... but it ended pretty strong. I am not sorry I watched it... so that is a plus for a movie in a set like this.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

16. Foundling (2/20/94)
A strange globe Clark took from the wreckage of his spacecraft begins to project messages from his father and mother on Krypton. Then a teenage thief steals the globe...and sells it to Lex Luthor!

My Thoughts:
A good episode. I enjoyed how they handled showing Clark's past to him.


17. The Rival (2/27/93)
Suddenly The Metropolis Star is scooping the Daily Planet, and Star reporter Linda King is scooping her old rival in love and work, Lois Lane. While Lois has an emotional meltdown, Clark investigates how the Star always gets the story first.

My Thoughts:
This is another episode I really enjoyed. It is just a fun episode all around. I loved how insane with jealousy Lois got. And I had to laugh when Lois found Perry in Clarks closet and even for a brief minute thought... uh... it wasn't exactly work related.
