200281 min6.4 / 10

A frenetic, absurdist spoof that splices modern comedy into 1970s kung-fu tropes, prioritizing relentless visual gags and surreal humor over coherence or emotional depth.

A movie within a movie, created to spoof the martial arts genre. Writer/director Steve Oedekerk uses contemporary characters and splices them into a 1970s kung-fu film, weaving the new and old together. As the main character, The Chosen One, Oedekerk sets off to avenge the deaths of his parents at the hands of kung-fu legend Master Pain. Along the way he encounters some strange characters.
