Shi-Jie (Jay Chou) was abandoned by his parents as a child and left with the master of the local kung fu school. As he grows up, he vigorously trains in martial arts and develops an ability to predict his opponents' moves before they occur. This ability serves him well on the basketball court and he catches the eye of Chen-Li, a shady businessman who convinces Shi-Jie to join a local college's basketball team to help them defeat a rival school who is so brutal they have been banned in the U.S.

Calvin O Oct 29 First, the plot was flat, his raise into famous in this movie was not explained how. From an orphan into famous basketball player. Second, the video effects was mediocre. The movie was concentrating in impossible style of basketball, die hard basketball fans won't be happy to see this. No real basketball play in this film maybe (if you say its about kungfu, its not kungfu either, its too ridiculous). See more Jun 3 The best movie of all time. I almost cried 8 times while watching this movie. Everything about the movie is perfect. See more 07/31/2020 It's a fun movie. Love Baron Chen here See more 01/02/2017 an epic tail of redemption and sport, this movie is the next Ben Hur. an instant classic, better than sex See more 12/24/2014 Neither the Kung Fu is attractive nor the Dunk is in any way pleasing. It's a laughable disaster. One of the worst Chinese films ever produced. There isn't one element in this film that's remotely entertaining or enlightening. It has a shallow, stereotyped story with unimaginative action pieces deliver by waves of poorly delivered performances from the cast members. Most scenes of this abomination are unwatchable, and the rest are juvenile at best. If a person encounter this film, please run away quickly. See more 04/22/2014 It's totally incoherent and its story structure is lackluster, with story arcs coming and going without proper build-up, but the basketball material and action is slick and fun to watch regardless. The film is as ridiculous as the title suggests, and its meant to be enjoyed that way. Good for a one time watch, but nothing more. See more Read all reviews
