Balls of Fury (2007)
#1
Dumb old skool marginally racist satire. It's an Enter the Dragon satire, but no where near as amusing now as Fist Full of Yen. It looked dumb years ago so I never did see it until last weekend when it just happened ed to be on TV. James Hong, Maggie Q, Jason Scott Lee play to stereotype. Chris Walken is really weird and somewhat redeeming. Lopez reminded me of his role in Spy Next Door. Hong does dumb blind jokes - look at him fall down an elevator shaft - haha. Q is young and hot but such a China doll that it's painful to watch now, knowing where her career went (Daniel Wu used to date her and told me some stories...)  Notable is Dan Fogler, a comedian that I completely forgot, but stood out as kowalski in Fantastic Beasts. His character is a precursor to Kung Fu Panda. CGI ping pong ala Forest Gump holds up unusually well but the days of these farce comedies are long gone.
