The action comedy SHAOLIN SOCCER has become the all-time most successful Hong Kong production ever–in part due to its eye-popping action, crazy special effects and wicked humor. The film has shattered box office figures throughout Asia and has won many awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Visual Effects at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Stephen Chow, who has appeared in over 50 films, is arguably, the most famous and loved comedian in Asia today.

Shaolin was an art practiced through the ages; a skill mastered in the heart. In SHAOLIN SOCCER, it is so much more than a philosophy for six young believers. It is a complete way of life. But as the world changed around them, and Honor and Discipline become forgotten virtues, they lose their way –except for one loyal follower, Sing (Chow). With the help of a former soccer star, he reunites his old, out of shape, misfit friends, and recruits a young woman with extraordinary Kung Fu skills. Together, they’re out to combine the ancient power of Shaolin with the modern game of soccer and in the process, just might take the world’s most popular sport to its most extreme.
