KWOON movie Review by LukePosted by: GoonI happened to stumble upon KWOON one day when I was looking for some good kung fu films. Well I saw the line "Bad Acting, Good Kung Fu" I knew I found something great. With most kung fu films its a given that they have bad acting but to come out and say it.. its refreshing and hillarious. So I contacted Todd Roy the director and star of the episodes and got my self a copy.
On the DVD are three short episodes all about 30 minutes long. Not only do you get 3 episodes but you get tons of extras. You could spend a whole evening with this DVD and not get bored. Its so packed I noticed that he trimmed some of the extra clips down just to fit them on their. These guys are hillarious. Its some of the best Kung Fu comedy I have ever seen. Alot of slapstick jokes and some things you don't even notice unless you watch the episodes with commentary which I highly reccomend you do. For example there is a scene where Death is in his lair and in the background is a Ouija board. Todd explains that thats how they would make phone calls.. The kung fu in this movie is really well choreagraphed. Onassis, their fight choregrapher who also stars in the episodes, does a great job of properly schooling everyone in the Shaw Brothers way of fighting. Which to people who don't know is doing about 10-20 moves before cutting. Nowadays they cut fights up and make it choppy so it looks good for the cameras. Some like to call this MTV editing. Some of the funniest stuff on this DVD is in the extras though. Todd going to China is defintely a must see. All I will say is that it includes Tood, a blow up doll and hookers. Who can forget the Nate dance? That has got to be classic right there. The intent behind KWOON was to get these shows on Spike TV or FX something like that. I really hope something comes together for these guys because they really put alot of hard work behind everything they do. Todd really hustles to get this DVD out to everyone so that big corporations will catch wind and pick it up. I can tell you truthfully I spent a whole night just going threw all the features on this DVD. I watched all the episodes and than the I listened to the commentary. Than spent the rest of the night watching all of the features. You will laugh your ass off. Defintely go out and do yourself a favor and pick up this DVD. Lets hope soon they will get that TV deal. 10 out of 10
