Shaolin Soccer (2001)





A movie from Hong Kong has a former soccer football player, Golden Leg Fung, who sold out by throwing a match, and then had his leg broken and ruined to go along with it, attempts to turn a family of Shaolin kung fu experts into a prize winning football team.
This a movie that breaks into dance or song at the drop of a hat. Mighty Steel Leg Sing keeps coming up with ideas to make money off the family's kung fu skills.
Sing discovers that he can use his Shaolin skills in soccer and wants Fung to train him. Kung Fu soccer. Sing's five down on their luck brothers are persuaded to join him. At first they are a disaster, but they get better and better.
There are some really good CGI special effects that show some dazzling soccer and kung fu skills. The brothers take on almost super human powers as they battle the evil soccer teams.
Corny and juvenile, but that is what the movie is aiming for. Good movie for kids.
