Where to Watch

So I thought this was simply a spoof movie like a Wayans brothers production or something starring Leslie Nielsen, but it was a different beast altogether. Kung Pow: Enter the Fist was a complete 70s martial arts movie dubbed with funny dialogue, if one is charitable, by a comedic actor who also inserted himself into the starring role. Majority of the movie is excruciating, but in last half hour, I started to chuckle as the comedic actor stopped interacting with the old footage by simply making funny faces & voices & began to effectively interact with the old footage. A lot of expensive & sophisticated production probably went into it, but still skip it. I did like the Boombox Henchmen.
