They set out to recruit Sing’s former Shaolin classmates all are down and out but each has a special power adding to the team’s limitless potential. When Fung sees Sing take on a bunch of thugs with nothing but a soccer ball, he hatches the brilliant idea of forming a Shaolin soccer team. Sing dreams of “a world gone Shaolin,” where Kung Fu is used to solve even the smallest problems. Twenty years later, Fung is hauling equipment for his former teammate Hung’s (Patrick Tse) “Team Evil.” When Fung is fired, he comes across Sing (Stephen Chow), a monk from the legendary Shaolin Temple with superlative martial arts skills and a “Mighty Iron Leg.” Unfortunately, in modern-day China, there is little money to be made as a monk, so Sing ekes out a meager living collecting garbage.
Shaolin soccer seems like something that Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be very good at. Champion player Fung (Ng Man-tat) is so good that they call him “Golden Leg.” However, when he loses the Chinese national championship game by missing a goal, enraged fans break his legs. It fuses ancient martial arts with hard-hitting physical comedy and the high-flying energy of competitive soccer / football. What exactly is Shaolin soccer? In the wicked game of “Shaolin Soccer,” players will stop at nothing to score a laugh.
