Shaolin Soccer (Siu Lam Juk Kau) (2001)

This film is unclassifiable. Sure, it's a "kung fu" movie, but it's a hundred other things too. I must have said "What the f%#@" to myself dozens of times while watching. It loosely follows a plot line, but suddenly things take a turn for the insane with no warning. It's destined to be a true cult classic because it's so off the wall.

Make sure and watch the Chinese version on the DVD, as the US version is only 87 minutes, while the original in all it's psychotic glory runs 113 minutes. Check reality at the door and rent this movie.

Rating: B-
