Writer-director Steve Oedekerk acquired the little known 1976 Hong Kong karate flick "Savage Killers," then seamlessly blended portions of the film with new material he has directed to create a wild, off-the-wall, comedy feature film. Oedekerk wrote, directed and stars in "Enter The Fist," placing himself digitally into the old film, re-dubbing the characters, as well as shooting new scenes.

Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/15/2002
Naturally, much fun is made of the poorly synchronized dialogue inherent in kung fu flicks, but the gag pales with repetition, especially since Billy Crystal and Robin Williams did it better years ago. Go to Full Review Robert K. Elder Chicago Tribune 07/20/2002
Not since Freddy Got Fingered has a major release been so painful to sit through. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 02/03/2002

Oedekerk's latest exercise in what I like to call 'the cinema of screechy hellsuck.' Go to Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending 09/19/2017
2.5/5
Its best gags are great, but they make up something like 5% of the whole, and its middle-tier gags are pretty mediocre. Go to Full Review Betsy Bozdech DVDJournal.com 11/09/2006
3.5/4
Steve Oedekerk's ode to bad '70s Hong Kong cinema is a gleefully bizarre combination of loving homage and merciless satire, bad special effects and unexpected jokes. Go to Full Review Jean-François Vandeuren Panorama 10/29/2005

Wirt S @littleJackPopcorner 2d Kung Pow doesn’t seem to care if the audience finds it as funny as the filmmakers do. That said, the sensibilities go past the merely ribald to the absurd, which leaves me grinning from ear to ear and singing the Taco Bell song for days. See more Johnny 5 @Johnny5136 5d Funniest movie ever!!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 See more Nathan T Oct 11 Among the worst movies I have ever endured. Painfully unfunny. 80 minutes of my life lost forever. See more Kevin J @Okie_Dokie Sep 23 Old but gold best comedy 2000's See more Cam T Sep 15 Hilariously terrible. Expect to see intentionally bad acting, terrible dubbing, silly graphics, and unlikely scenarios. It all adds up to a lot of fun. Worth every second. Critics give this film poor reviews because they genuinely don’t understand the point. This is supposed to be ridiculous and super cheesy. See more Anthony L Aug 15 This Movie developed my childhood humor. I quote it everyday to this day! “Chicken go cluck cluck. Cow go moo! Ducky go quack quack, how bout youuuu!” “Taco Bell, Taco Bell, everything’s better and Taco Bell!!” See more Read all reviews
