Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)

Remarkably hysterical send-up of old martial arts films…owes a lot to "What's Up Tiger Lily" for the idea of recording new sound over old film. I'm also thinking I noticed the influence of StrongBad from Homestarrunner.com – I’d wager Oedenkirk’s a fan.

So many sequences are pee-your-pants funny that the scenes that don’t work are all the more glaring (e.g. the cow fight). The first movie in a few years to hand us new family catch-phrases.
