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

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."  Filmcritic.com  Blake French

2/4
"An enjoyable, if unproductive, time at the movies."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

2.5/4
"Must be seen to be believed."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

F
"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."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

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."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

F
"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."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

1/4
"Never has an 80 minute movie been so long"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson
