removed the Narm Charm link because Kung Pow is not intended to be a serious movie
Changed line(s) 13,14 (click to see context) from:
A refreshing comedy that's ''stupid'' -- but [[NarmCharm amusingly so]] -- ''Kung Pow! Enter The Fist'' is a 2002 film written and directed by lead actor Creator/SteveOedekerk. The film uses footage from an obscure Creator/JimmyWangYu kung-fu movie from 1976 called ''Tiger & Crane Fists'', along with newly-shot and blue-screened footage (mainly to insert Oedekerk into the film), to create a rather anarchic parody of kung-fu movies in general. Virtually every line is insane -- and very quotable; it was difficult choosing which one to put up at the top -- and everyone's voice (save [[MsFanservice Whoa]]) is dubbed over by Oedekerk himself.

** Interestingly, Steve Oedekerk looks very little like Jimmy Wang Yu, yet looks rather well integrated in scenes using little more than a green screen and another person as a placeholder for the ''Tiger and Crane Fists'' actor's movements. So some more obviously ''not'' well-integrated moments, like the baby rolling down the mountain or the somewhat outdated-looking Moon Yu CGI, are probably this just because it fits with the more slapstick nature anyways.
