Can't believe I never got around to this one; I've had a copy for such a long time and I've been told I should watch it, knowing that I would like the film--so I did watch it, and I did like it very much. My copy had dubbed English audio but without subtitles for the occasional shots of chinese text, although that wasn't really important, because this film's appeal lies not in its story but the special effects.
You can watch an American trailer for the film here, although it doesn't really do justice to the style of the film. That trailer comes across as flashy, thrilling and action-packed, but Shaolin Soccer makes hilariously absurd use of its spectacular special effects, rather than high drama. While predictable, it is a well entertaining film all-round. 7.5/10
