3/4
"I'm talking about actual, out-loud laughs of the rolling-on-the-floor kind."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews

2.5/4
"I'd be lying if I said my ribcage didn't ache by the end of
Kung Pow
."
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
1/5
"We can't accuse
Kung Pow
for misfiring, since it is exactly what it wants to be: an atrociously, mind-numbingly, indescribably bad movie. Unfortunately, we'd prefer a simple misfire."

2/4
"An enjoyable, if unproductive, time at the movies."

"Oedekerk wrote
Patch Adams
, for which he should not be forgiven. Why he was given free reign over this project -- he wrote, directed, starred and produced -- is beyond me."

1/4
"
Kung Pow
seems like some futile concoction that was developed hastily after Oedekerk and his fellow moviemakers got through crashing a college keg party."

"A bad idea poorly executed."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1/4
"This is amusing for about three minutes."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
8/10
"Totalement con et absurde, mais aussi totalement hilarant."
Panorama
Jean-François Vandeuren
"Rarely do I really want to get up and leave only a few minutes into any film -- no matter how bad it might initially seem -- but this one had me itching to flee rather early on."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
6/10
"I basically went in expecting garbage, but color me surprised when it actually turned out to be quite funny!"
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
3/10
"The movie's plot is almost entirely witless and inane, carrying every gag two or three times beyond its limit to sustain a laugh."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
1/5
"Mocking kung fu pictures when they were a staple of exploitation theater programming was witty. Mocking them now is an exercise in pointlessness."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
1.5/4
"It would have made a funny 15 to 20 minute sketch in a format like the very funny short martial arts sketch in "Kentucky Fried Movie.'"
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
1/5
"You'd have to search far and wide for a movie as gleefully stupid as Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, but you'd never find one so bereft of laughs."

Scott Weinberg
1/4
"Never has an 80 minute movie been so long"
