Blake C Kung Food is the pinnacle of cinematic expression. With breathtaking visuals, an overwhelmingly compelling plot, and character development that can only be described as exquisite, Kung Food is indubitably the best movie of the century, nay, of all time. The subtle character foil between Super Bao and Salmon highlights the ambiguity of good and evil: while Super Bao desperately clings to the childish notion that an absolute good and evil exist, Salmon clearly grapples with the harsher reality that he is using objectively evil methods to preserve his honor. Equally impressive is the development of Lord Octopus, who, clearly ostracized due to his being "salty," seeks to enact revenge on the other food populations. Lord Octopus and his flawed motives for justice draw a clear parallel with our world as we are reminded that, all too often, we draw artificial boundaries around those closest to us in order to maintain the "purity" of our own community. The movie ends with a plot twist so heart-wrenchingly painful it's almost beautiful. The ultimate sacrifice of Salmon to save Bao and defeat Lord Octopus shows that Salmon's character arc is complete, having come full circle from the once-misguided samurai hyper-fixated on his honor. Salmon and Bao's character foil is heightened as Salmon hybridizes his own and Bao's thinking, coming to the brutal realization that sacrifice is the only way to preserve the objective good. As Bao hopelessly digs through the salt, desperately clinging on to any sign of Salmon, the samurai's name becomes forever immortalized in Kung Food history: for only a god would be willing to sacrifice so much to save a mere dumpling. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Cee M Difficult to enjoy. Visually appealing while the story is among the worst ever imagined. Chinese have no idea of what's cool and I get why they copy African American cultures. 0 stars but I'll give half a star just for the pills 😂 Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Audience Member Worst Chinese food I ever had.
