Kung Fu Dunk is the Shaolin Soccer of basketball... or is it? I wasn't expecting much based on online reviews, and it's true that it's not on Soccer's level. Although the "Chinese rules" basketball is appropriately ridiculous, it takes too long to get there, is largely repetitive, and doesn't quite rise above the level of most sports movie plots. However, the awesome Eric Tsang (Sam in Infernal Affairs) elevates the material to surprising levels, actually making the end of the film poignant. I love Eric Tsang. And the movie's got a rockin' score that's rather infectious. Definitely better than expected... let's do Shaolin Hockey next, ok? 8 years 9 months ago
