Shaolin Soccer

“Get ready to kick some grass!”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 74, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Football becomes a kung-fu cartoon: impossible kicks, airborne players and a team literally called Team Evil. This is accomplished, deliberate slapstick rather than a failed sports film; its place on the shelf comes from gleeful excess and physics that never make the starting eleven.
