Shaolin Soccer

Shaolin Soccer (少林足球, 2001) is a Hong Kong action comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Written, directed by, and starring Stephen Chow, the film runs 89 minutes and was distributed internationally by Miramax — a blend of martial-arts spectacle and sports comedy that no pitch meeting could have predicted.

Sing, nicknamed Mighty Steel Leg, has one goal: prove that Shaolin kung-fu belongs on a football pitch. He talks his old mentor Fung into backing a team, then tracks down five brothers — each a specialist. One hits with enough force to set the ball on fire. Another defends goal with movements borrowed from a scorpion. And Mui (Vicky Zhao) turns out to have a touch that physics textbooks haven't described yet. Their path to the million-dollar championship runs straight through Team Evil.
