1/5
A horrendously written and acted movie which even Walken can't save. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 12/28/2007
2/5
This comedy raises the odd laugh, largely from an absurd appearance by Christopher Walken as a sinister martial-arts kingpin villain. Go to Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out 12/28/2007

CGI-assisted ping pong and lame gags about dead pandas, simpering homos and 'Antiques Roadshow'. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 01/31/2021

This is an extremely silly movie, and I don't have no trouble with silly as long as it's funny, but that's where things go south. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/02/2020
2.0/4.0
Does low-brow comedy really get much better? Well, yeah, fortunately it does. Go to Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News 11/21/2019
We are stuck with a below average film that Walken almost single-handedly carries to mediocrity -- a feat that is appreciated, but not enough to forgive Balls of Fury for its many faults. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

alan G. @agenser Nov 21 Waste of Christopher Walken. Typical stoner movie. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Nov 18 Tasteless, yet harmless, Balls of Fury nevertheless fails to generate enough laughs despite its lowbrow intentions. See more Matt H. @SurrealHayes Nov 9 Like this movie for the fact that it felt like a 90s or early 2000s comedy. It wasn’t good, but that’s what actually made it good! It’s dumb, but sometimes you need a dumb movie to laugh at! See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Aug 30 I laughed a lot at this film. Wasn't a masterpiece, but had many hilarious bits and good performances. See more Will G @Kingofthepixies Aug 10 Great movie, can't understand the negative waves. I understand enter the dragon was based on this 😉 See more Sean O May 22 One of the funniest movies of the century. I don't understand why this movie gets such poor reviews. James Hong and Christopher Walken are hilarious. Maybe it helps if you've seen Enter the Dragon. Also, I absolutely hated Def Leppard before I watched this movie. See more Read all reviews
