When the goalkeeper was injured and retired from the game, Stephen Chow said the line "You're just a man leaving, but the spirit will always be here", which is his tribute to his idol Bruce Lee.

[@TarossBlackburn]

Which is fitting because the goalie ends up portraying Bruce Lee in various other movies :D

[@shinichixxxx]

@@theghostofuchiha1496 In regards to his involvement in the production of "Dragon Ball", Stephen Chow explains, "There's many types of producers in a film production. My role as producer is in the form of a consultant. Besides providing a few opinions, there's really nothing much I do in terms of the work involved." As to which of his opinions were accepted (in the production process, Stephen hesitantly said "they didn't accept most of my feedback. Perhaps they didn't think it was suitable so that was why they didn't use any of my input. I suppose the production companies have their reasoning behind this. I don't mind it at all. After all, the decision making is up to the studios."

Stephen Chow is just so all over the place in the best way with his films. Tons of heart, great comedy, brilliant action, it's all there. Hell, he even manages to take a story in a modern setting and still give it classical elements; the bit where Mui is heartbroken and the buns she makes becoming salty and bitter from her tears is exactly the kind of thing you'd see in an ancient myth or fable. Always makes me wish he had even more films to enjoy.

[@jasoncheng2735]

He does have quite a few films, but ones before Shaolin Soccer have less appeal to international viewers because most of the jokes and punchlines are very Cantonese specific and doesn't translate well into English. Even a few of the jokes in Shaolin Soccer were lost in translation

@@arsenalofdemocracy9985 It's so typical. Every problem is because of China bad. By the way, both Shalin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle happened after the Brit handed over Hong Kong back to China.

[@tiewkiat]

the film crew was so tight on budget that they couldn't film the last scene stephen had in mind with all those audience (this is a whole other story why the film had such a tight budget). Stephen came up with the idea that they would asked the public to come to the stadium to act as spectators for free in a 3 day shooting and they would get a chance to take photos with the stars. The response was overwhelming as seen.

[@littleminwang6800]

better than FIFA.

[@TheJoscelyne]

Mui is a tai chi master - hence the yin yang she made when she was making buns. Fun to note that Taoist writing, which tai chi is based on, talks a lot about the art of craftmanship as a way of being one with the Dao, which is what they were showing as she made the buns, and why he recognized her as a master.

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@TheJoscelyne]

@@NiceDudeMovieNight I loved this movie so much, as a lover of Chinese philosophy and martial arts. Even Mui's goal save, when she goes with the spin to take control of the ball, is such a fun way of showing the philosophy of being in harmony with the flow of the universe.

To my knowledge, Taoism which predates Buddhism was basically Shaolin's rival religious sect which traces its roots from the Taoist temple in Wudang mountain. It's were the term Wutang Clan comes from.

[@TheOnlyHawkeye666]

This movie while bonkers, has some absolutely amazing action choreography and very solid filmography as well. Steven Chow really needs to make more movies, he is such a great movie maker all around. The film industry needs people like that, also what you said "Kung Fu is in everything" it really is if you take a philosophical approach to martial arts

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

Oh totally, it's such a competently made movie with great action and a surprisingly thoughtful story for how insane a lot of the bits are

[@NecramoniumVideo]

He has been making movies consistently since his first movie, let's not forget he made the crappy Dragonball Evolution movie, he has been making odd movies since that movie.

[@pimpasparadise]

[@MedskiPurnamski]

@@NecramoniumVideo not exactly, he was credited in the movie but in truth his involvement was very minimal and if I remember correctly he didn't want to do any promotion work for it.

I can still remember watching this at a very young age, and until now, this is still one of the best movies I've ever watched. Thank you, Stephen Chow!

[@oak8194]

Still my favourite Stephen Chow’s movie ever! It never gets old even now. My only complaint would be that I’d like to see more matches leading up to the final one. They’ve done a good job showing each members’ skills in different matches and even threw in some surprise opponents like the moustachioed girls team XD. It’s just that they’re so well done I feel like they haven’t shown enough! Most people react to Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle (usually started from the latter), but there are still mountains of comedy gold mine from Stephen Chow and I highly recommend you two to check his older films out! One of my personal recommendations would be “Sixty Million Dollar Man”.

[@jesternario]

God of cookery was pretty good, if a little hard to find. I could only find it via purchasing a DVD or via unofficial uploads on KZbin

The Puma endorsement is quite a consistent thing in the whole movie. Especially during the matches when the ball is panned towards the audience POV the logo is made visible. Even the hero's initial fire kick attack look like a pouncing Puma!

[@jwesley235]

I love this movie. ProTip, Steven Chow translated and dubbed his own voice for the English version, so it's just as funny in the 'dubbed' version as it is in the original.

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

That’s great to know! I love when actors that speak English do that

[@MaddMango]

@@NiceDudeMovieNight Slightly different, with some deleted scenes.

[@BETMARKonTube]

Sadly for me, in Italian they ruined it: They hired real soccer players as voice actors (and they suck), changed almost all of the dialogues and cut 30 minutes of the movie to make it more silly (every single serious scene, like when "Bruce Lee" hide his injured hand behind the back).

[@jesternario]

Yeah, they cut a good chunk from the U.S. release as well in similar fashion. Fortunately, the DVD included the unedited Cantonese version as well.

[@jwesley235]

@@jesternario Meh, the parts they cut didn't change much, and actually made the movie feel tighter.

There are two versions of this movie. When you watched the Miramax version, 2 scenes was remove and 1 was altered from the original cut. #1 was young Golden Leg bribed Hung (young version of the Evil Team boss) and that was from the opening scene. #2 was originally just a conversation between Iron Leg(the MC) and Mui, no dance number from what I watched( just a translated VCD from the early days of disc media) and lastly #3 was the guy who was hit by ball in the stomach pukes(due to delayed unimaginable pain) scene was removed. EDIT UPDATE: the actor who play the old Gold Leg(Ng Man-tat) died over a year ago.

He didn't intentionally led her on. He was brought up as a disciple of Shaolin, a monastery. Even if he isn't a monk now, he still practices unconditional love and karmic relationships. He genuinely wanted to repay her for her kindness and wanted her to be happy and strive for improvements. As for being a jerk, throwing away shoes and such, that was the first time in his life that he found success in the materialistic aspect. When he finally got his old shoes back, that was when he found his root.
