Kung Fu Panda [Theatrical Release]

Product Description
Amazon.comWhat's a panda to do when his dreams of kung-fu awesomeness awake to the cold reality of noodle-making? Clumsy, overweight Po (Jack Black) dreams of becoming a kung fu master like China's revered "furious five," but instead seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather in the restaurant business. When great leader Oogway has a vision that the imprisoned kung fu warrior Tai Lung (Ian McShane) will soon escape, he declares it time to choose China's dragon warrior--one kung fu master deemed worthy of possessing the dragon's scroll and its secret to limitless power. Po and all the townspeople rush to the Jade Palace atop the highest mountain to witness the contest between Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogan), Crane (David Cross) and Viper (Lucy Liu), but Po is locked outside the palace. After a miracle of sorts, Po lands inside the palace gates, where he is chosen as the dragon warrior and placed under the tutelage of the decidedly non-plussed master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman). An unconventional student to say the least, hilarity reigns as Shifu tries desperately to make Po into some semblance of a kung fu warrior. Can Po possibly fulfill his destiny as dragon warrior, or was Oogway's final decision a critical mistake? A film rich with hilarious moments, superior animation, and an important message about believing in oneself and the power that comes from within, Kung Fu Panda is great entertainment that will have the whole family laughing and begging for more. (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

'Kung Fu Panda' Kicks!, June 24, 2008
By
JP's Picks (Boise, ID) - See all my reviews I enter this movie with one question: Was Jack Black born to play the voice of Po, or was he merely groomed to play it? I wouldn't be surprised if the whole movie were centered with him in mind. `Kung Fu Panda' is another Dreamworks' production, one that employs or improves admirable animation tricks--giving the film the vitality of a free-flowing digital puppet show. A visual delight, the film has the innovation of `Surf's Up (Full Screen Special Edition)' combined with the entertainment value of `Ratatouille'. Sent mostly on the fast track, the film has a good ol' witty time matched with artful adventure. Literally and figuratively, Po (Black) dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master. He's a chubby Panda bear who has more passion for eating than making the food at his family's noodle restaurant. As he's humoring his stork father, a crisis develops in the village: A prophecy states Tai Lung (Ian McShane), a dragon more aptly described as a snow leopard with pouncing Kung Fu proficiency will escape Chorgum Prison. The town converges on Jade Square, the center of The Valley of Peace where holy wise tortoise, Master Oogway (Randall Duk Kim), will announce the chosen Dragon Warrior. Clumsily, Po propels himself in the center where Oogway, pointing at Tigress has his finger on the panda instead.

Kung Fu DVD Reviews;

Exciting and Funny!, January 12, 2008
By
Victek - See all my reviewsAt first I was shocked by the violence in Kung Fu Hustle, but eventually I understood that it's not meant to be taken seriously. It reminded me of the violence in Three Stooges episodes where crazy things happen and then everyone gets up, dust's off and walks away. Sometimes I laughed so hard it was painful. The fight scenes with wire work and special effects are very effective. There is also a thread of childhood friendship which adds a sweet note to the film. There are a number of Special Features which add value if you like shorts about how the special effects were created, etc.

Ways of Kung Fu (1978)

One of the Best Old School Kung Fu Movies for Hard Core Fanatic!, March 9, 2007
By
Infinity "Wireless" (Ca) is one of the best old school kung fu movies of its Time. This movie was made in 1980 so the quality is watchable but not remastered. The story line starts when a young student of shaolin is sent by his abbot to a friend that teaches him kung fu. He starts to learn kung fu because of a vicious fake abbot takes over shaolin temple. I will stop from there but do buy this movie if you enjoy old achool kung fu. I do need to add that my dvd did come loose and scratched but I just didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it. More Kung Fu DVD : http://astore.amazon.com/chinese-kung-fu-dvd-20

This is one heck of an awesome movie!, January 11, 2008
By
Jerry E. Monroe (USA PA) - This is one of the best from Shaw brothers. I saw this movie years ago. And the remastered version is nothing short of Amazing! The training is excellent, acting fantastic and a Must see DVD. This is simply the best. If your an old school fan, Shaw Fan or any fan of real Kung Fu movies then get this one now! The Teacher of the Shaw clan shows his true teaching abilities and the action is nonstop. This is a 7 star movie, but I'm only able to give 5. You will love this DVD as long as you get the remastered version.
