Stephen Chow both directs and stars in this special effects-filled farce, playing a down-on-his-luck goofball who just happens to be trained in the Shaolin school of martial arts. This training gives him and his fellow monks extraordinary abilities that come in handy in their soccer showdown with “Team Evil.” The film’s “infectious style has a way of lifting spirits. You don’t have to be a fan of soccer or kung fu to enjoy it” (Claudia Puig, USA Today). 2001 / 87 min.
