Hong Kong comedy ace Stephen Chow brings his inimitable style to the pitch in this spectacularly silly and wildly entertaining sports movie spoof. Chow plays a Shaolin monk who is trying to find a way to spread the word about kung fu and becomes convinced that the best way is to become a soccer star – despite having no experience with the game.
