Shaolin Soccer Full Movie In Hindi __FULL__ Free Download Hd Mp4
Donnie Ehlen
Team Evil has been dominating soccer ever since the boy with the Golden Leg missed an important goal in a big game. Now a new group of shaolin trained athletes are going use their powers on the soccer field and take evil down a peg. This is a charming and bizarre comedy that I enjoyed far more than I could even imagine.
There's something about Stephen Chow and his filmmaking technique I've seen so far it's ludicrous, way way over the top, absurd and mad crazy but gotta say this is one of the funniest shit I've ever seen.. The whole film is like that and i can't complain that... It's inconsistent but very funny and seems like the whole team had a blast. Love the way they mixed Shaolin martial arts and soccer and made into something special. The visual effects for 2001 is quite impressive and tbh there's no sense for me to review this.. It's quite fun and i had a blast, not as good as kung fu hustle cause that was a damn smart film too but if u want to have great 2 hours this film can do wonders. Now my expectations of watching a football match is too damn high. ???
The movie has been directed and co-written by Stephen Chow, who stars as Sing, a martial arts master turned street cleaner, who uses his skills in everyday life and is in love with Mui (Vicki Zhao), who sells buns from her little street stand and combs her hair forward to conceal a complexion that resembles pizza with sausage and mushrooms. It is a foregone conclusion that by the end of this film Mui will be a startling beauty. Less predictable is that Sing recruits seven soccer players from his former monastery to form a soccer team.
His inspiration to do this is Fung (Ng Man Tat), known as the Golden Leg because he was, years ago, a great soccer hero until his leg was broken by Hung (Patrick Tse Yin). Hung now rules the soccer world as owner of Team Evil (yes, Team Evil), while Fung drags his leg like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. It is another foregone conclusion that Team Evil will meet the Shaolin soccer team formed by Fung and Sing in a thrilling match played before what looks like a vast crowd that has been borrowed from a computer game.
The game doesn't follow any known rules of soccer, except that there is a ball and a goal. As the players swoop high into the air and do acrobatics before kicking the ball, I was reminded more of Quidditch. There is also the matter of ball velocity. The players can kick the ball so hard that it actually catches fire as it rockets through the air, or digs a groove in the ground as it plows toward the goal.
Since the game is impossible and it is obvious Team Evil will lose, there's not much suspense, but there is a lot of loony comedy, a musical number, and the redemption of the Poor Spotted Little Bun Girl. As soccer comedies go, then, I say three stars. It's nowhere near as good as "Bend It Like Beckham," of course -- but "Beckham" is in a different genre, the coming-of-age female-empowerment film. It's important to keep these things straight.
But Golden Leg Fung is looking to build a soccer team of his own to challenge team evil for the title. This leads him to seek out the help of shaolin master (and modern day kung-fu advocate) Iron Leg Sing.
Despite his kung-fu mastery, Iron Leg is forbidden to use his martial arts for violent purposes, yet he wants nothing more than to evangelize the shaolin lifestyle to everyone in the world. For that, he needs publicity.
Sing is the main protagonist of the 2001 Hong Kong Stephen Chow's film, Shaolin Soccer. He is a Shaolin Monk who wants to promote Shaolin Kung Fu to the people. After meeting a famous soccer coach, he decides to promote Kung Fu through soccer. After enlisting his Shaolin brothers to join, the team, they win the Hong Kong Open Cup tournament against Team Evil.
Both men reach a consensus to form a soccer team specializing in shaolin, each with a mutual purpose: Fung seeks revenge against Hung, while Sing uses the sport as both a vessel for his discipline and a way to promote kung fu to the world. To this end, the latter sets about finding his five brothers (not biological brothers, but his fellow disciple brothers that all studied under the same master), all possessors of unique physical abilities. All of his brothers have since given up on Shaolin and are in similarly disgraced predicaments as Fung. After initially rejecting Sing's pleas, the brothers get together to form Team Shaolin. When it's revealed that Sing and the rest of the team barely knows anything about soccer and that Sing is the only one that retained his Shaolin abilities, Fung just about gives up with them. However, during their first match against Team Rebellion, the remaining five brothers re-awaken their Shaolin powers, quickly turning the match in their favor. They also proceed to wow the members of Team Rebellion, a gang of bullies led by a member of the mob. The defeated members of Team Rebellion requested to join Team Shaolin, to which they happily obliged. They would go on to recruit more members from other teams along the way.
- Awesome Music: The opening credits
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: When Sing first meets Mui at the bun stand, he sings a song to compliment her use of cooking and Tai Chi. When she accuses him of mocking her, a nearby patron backs up his sincerity with his own song, which inspires everyone nearby to join in a synchronized dance number. Naturally, this scene was deleted from some airings. Sing's song is mimicking a famous scene from 1960 Chinese musical called Liu San Jie (renamed Third Sister Liu in English), where the male lead first meets the female lead with a song, the same song that Sing sings to Mui.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: "Empty Hand", Team Shaolin's goalie, who is also a Bruce Lee Clone. In fact, this earned Danny Chan a role in a legitimate Bruce Lee 2008 television biopic after this, including a Role Reprise as Lee in Ip Man 3.
- Evil Is Sexy: Team Evil's goalie (portrayed by Cao Hua) is incredibly pretty.
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Unsurprisingly, dubs exist for "soccer giant" countries like France and Brazil.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Fung's struggles in the film become much harder to stomach after knowing his actor Ng Man-tat's life after the film. This was the last movie Ng would star in alongside Chow. The pair's relationship soured allegedly during the filming of Kung Fu Hustle, when Chow let another actor take the role which was meant for Ng. Over the next two decades, the relationship gradually mended, but was never the same again. Ng also had multiple health problems: diabetes, heart disease and liver cancer, among others.note Chow had actually invited Ng to star in The Mermaid in 2015, but Ng had to decline due to his poor health. Just before his death in February 2021, Ng even said publicly note during episode 3 of Season 6 of Ace vs Ace, recorded in November 2020, but first aired in February 2021 that he's still open to collaboration with Chow as long as "Stephen's not retired, and I'm not dead". Even more poignantly, Tin Kai-man (Iron Shirt) was the one who made the announcement of Ng's death on behalf of his family.
- Hilarious in Hindsight:
- The ominous Buddhist droning-chanting we hear as Team Shaolin recovers their abilities may have a different effect on viewers now that the 2010 South Africa World Cup has popularized the vuvuzela.
- Speaking of which, Empty Hand has been compared to Guillermo Ochoa, and curb-stomp matches shown in this movie aren't that far from reality after what Germany did to Brazil in the 2014 World Cup.
- The scene where all of the Shaolin monks stay still in their kung-fu poses like the camera pans through the soccer field predates the mannequin challenge that circulated the internet in 2016.
- Fans of supposed Spiritual Successor Inazuma Eleven have already drew connections between it and this movie.
- Hollywood Homely: Chinese actress Zhao Wei is exceptionally beautiful in Real Life. While her character Mui should be the opposite (particularly because of the acne), she still appears as what Zhao Wei naturally looks like.
- Memetic Mutation:
- Iron Head's shocked face is a popular reaction image macro.
- "Go back to Mars! Earth is very dangerous!"note Mui becomes the substitute goalie for Team Shaolin in the final game against Team Evil and shaves her head completely bald. Sing's reaction to the character's appearance is this quote
- Special Effects Failure:
- Several uses of The Oner to depict Team Shaolin's rampage across the field, practical wirework and all, make the CGI soccer ball even more obvious.
- When the team dramatically reassembles on the rooftop, the white scraft worn by "Light Weight" is clearly being pulled by a wire.
- Since Stephen Chow obviously couldn't have his female lead shave her head they used a bald cap. Unfortunately stuffing all that hair in there gave her a rather oversized head.
- Squick: Weight Vest eating an egg out of Iron Shirt's mouth... and it happens twice. The bloopers extra even show Iron Shirt making a face to let the egg yolks pour out of his mouth.
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: How many viewers who have seen the original Chinese version feel about the American release cutting off a lot of scenes. Thankfully, the American DVD gives the option to watch the original version.
- Values Dissonance: Presumably why the underwear no-hospital scene was Played for Laughs.
- The Woobie: Mui, a humble baker who has poor self-esteem and a harsh boss. She tries to make herself more beautiful but it ended up hurting her even more, her crush on Sing gets turned down; it broke her so much she ended up getting fired since the stress caused her to mess up her baking. She does get better at the end, thankfully.
- Woolseyism: In the American dub, the first Team that Team Shaolin goes against is called Team Puma, based off of the puma logo on their uniforms. In the original Cantonese dub? Team Tofu.
