But is it this main character white guy putting on a fake stereotypical Asian accent for all the characters? I tried to look this up on IMDB but it doesn't really clarify the voicing situation (it's also 1:30am so I could just be missing something). If it is, then... how is that not racist?THis is my best friend's favorite movie of all time...i originally didnt care about it beyond seeing the commercials years and years ago, but he forced me to watch it so many times unfortunately i know all the quotes and have to apply them to when i'm doing things like thinking "I'm coming" when someone is calling for me
Its making fun of old kungfu movies and bad dubs, nothing more

Some of the clips posted on the first page beg to differ
.Kung Pow Enter the Fist is a masterclass in film, can't wait for the Criterion Collection release
Concern troll. Don't pay attention to it.
people complaining about half life 3, ive been waiting for kung pow 2 even longerIt's so good that it's never going to get that sequel they promised since they know there's no way they can do it better
The taco bell one and the wimp lo one
It's awful, Kung Fu Hustle is a much better martial arts parody.
neither of those sound like they are trying to be asian caricatures

Lmao... okay...neither of those sound like they are trying to be asian caricatures
they're kinda going for different things to parody in martial arts movie. I actually don't find Kung Fu Hustle nearly as funny, except for the escalating "we fucked up" scene where he's trying to throw the knife, but it is by far a better action film.
Old man voice and nasally, high pitched voices are asian stereotypes?
I found quite a few things to laugh at in Hustle, but this is a fair assessment.
Kung Pow is more a parody of the awful dubs/edits that used to be the only way to see martial arts films.
if anything they are making fun of the shitty voice acting present in nearly every 1970's kung fu movie that made it to the westOld man voice and nasally, high pitched voices are asian stereotypes?
Kung Pow and Fesh Pince occupy the same mental headspace where you bring it up and people will quote every single passing minute of it
