Tiger and Crane Fists

I assume most of the people who seek this movie out come to it the same way I did. This is the film that Steve Oedekerk used as the basis for his 2002 spoof Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. I love Kung Pow. I realize that around half of that movie is groan inducing gags (okay, maybe more than half), but buried in it are moments of sheer comedic genius. Most of those moments come from the redubbing and CGI manipulation of Tiger and Crane Fists. Surprisingly, the original is a fun film with a bit of blood, a great villain, and some solid fights. The lead actor, with his doughy physique, is obviously is not a real martial artist but it doesn’t matter much. Master Betty must be stopped!
