On the up side, there are some genuinely funny jokes, and Oedekerk has been wise enough to keep the running time down to 82 minutes, including the eight-minute closing credit sequence (which is worth staying through its entirety). But Kung Pow! is no "What's Up, Tiger Lily?"

Yes. I grew up with this. The entire movie is a mix of satire and slapstick comedy, and I loved it then and still do to this day.

If ever there's been a martial-arts movie that makes you feel as if you've been kicked in the head, surely it's Kung Pow! Enter the Fist.

New York Post
An inept, tedious spoof of '70s kung fu pictures, it contains almost enough chuckles for a three-minute sketch, and no more.

Film Threat
Like a slug that crawls across the screen for eighty minutes before dying of its own nausea.

Los Angeles Times
The result is hopelessly inane, humorless and under-inspired.

This movie was god's final gift to earth. If you were to take one lesson from this movie, it's never trust the critic reviews

This movie is full of funny moments. I think you understand it more if you also watched old Kong Fu movies. A simple and fun movie that wanted to be silly and make you laugh. Too bad they don't make comedy anymore. You must see this movie if you love a silly comedy that was created to be funny and nothing more.

As per usual, the critics don't understand the oh so complicated concept of comedy (hyperbole). The person that calls this film "uninspired" would have to be dead on the inside - which by the way is no coincidence because to not to literally laugh out loud throughout this movie, you must indeed be dead.

Absolute garbage. I laughed maybe once for the whole 90 minutes (when the lion in the sky appears and calls the main character simba). I understand what they were trying to do with the bad dubbing and stuff, but that stops being funny after the first few times. Definitely one of the worst movies ever made.

Complete crap. And I mean, a 2 hour film of just a steaming pile of doo would be more interesting than this. Other than there be NO cohesiveness with the film, it was basically just old Kung Fu footage with "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" dubbed over ALL of it. I hated it, and am still kicking myself for not turning it off after 5 minutes. I leave more talent tightly coiled in a toilet. People that thought this was "hilarious" was either high or drunk when they saw this.
