Balls of Fury (DVD, 2007, Widescreen)

'Balls of Fury' is a purgatory-pleasure of absurd, borderline offensive fun that will have you laughing and gasping in offended-comic schlock at the same time !! Christopher Walken provides yet another opportunity to ply his eccentric shtick as the Villain set in the "Cutthroat World of Ping-Pong". - Yes, "Ping-Pong !! Feel the smiles starting on your faces; they will only grow.
'Balls of Fury' represents a new hilarious attack in the gross-out comedy category following obscure low-grade sports & events; driven by talented casts for classic genre newcomers with laugh-spewing classics, like 'Dodgeball' and "Beerfest".
Walken provides some of many amusing moments in this film, "written" by Garant and Thomas Lennon, who previously installed 'Reno 911!: Miami' on us this year. Dressed like a garish cross between Elvis Presley and Fu Manchu; Walken plays Feng, a Ping-Pong loving Criminal Mastermind sought by FBI Agent Rodriguez (George Lopez), a desk jockey eager to make a name for himself in the Bureau.
To that end, Rodriguez enlists the reluctant aid of disgraced Ping-Pong Champion Randy Daytona (Dan Fogler), who's never recovered from his humiliating loss at the 1988 Summer Olympics to strutting German Player Karl Wolfschtagg (Lennon). Although Randy hasn't competed in years, he gets his "groove back", thanks to the grueling training regimen of blind Ping-Pong Master, Wong (James Hong). (These training sequences provide some side-hurting laughter; that may require the PAUSE button while you change your outfit "If You Get My Point").
Summoned to Feng's secret tropical lair to play in an Underground Ping-Pong Tournament; Randy faces the World's Best Players, including his old nemesis Karl, as he tries to foil Feng's evil plans.
Alums of MTV's The State sketch comedy series, Garant and Lennon carry the comic timing and ingenuity to sustain this feature-length film. 'Balls of Fury' lurches from one broad staged set piece to another as it crusades towards the loud and spectacularly carousing finale. The filmmakers aim for the lowest common denominator with crude regularity, which generates the hugest laughs. The actors never need to struggle in performing the comedy equivalent of CPR on 'Balls of Fury'.
Viewers inevitably come to love lissome Maggie Q, Fogler's love interest. A Tony Award Winner in his first feature film lead, it's great to see a beauty as poised as Q play her love scenes with Fogler's charm-free, corpulent beast (or hairy smurf) character.
All around; 'Balls of Fury' presents the copulent fun that requires no deep thought; just a will to laugh and smile. Proceed into the film with that at heart, and you are destined for the ride of a crude-swilling lifetime. A definate don't mis, that will sit amongst the classic comedy shelves; with other recent inductees like "Old School", "American Pie I, II, III", "Anchorman", "Dodgeball", "40-Year Old Virgin", "Knocked Up", "Superbad"....and more.
Assured & Guaranteed Fun-Filled View !!

All around great comedy spoof movie. Good humor for all ages and also has great replay value. I would rate this movie a 4.5 out of 5.

This is quite an excellent movie. It's filled with jokes whether about a blind man living upstairs in a place with an open elevator shaft or a chubby metal head playing ping pong against Christopher Walken. It's a great watch at anytime.

Awesome movie! It is very entertaining and is never boring to watch! Great deal especially on here! Id definately recommend!

GREAT DVD BUT THIS REVIEW SUX ~~~~~~LMAO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LOL !!!*****************************************************************

If you appreciate silly humor, Ping Pong and a little bit of Kung Fu, this movie is for you. It would help if you are also familiar with Bruce Lee movies. There are so many parallels, you can't help but laugh at how they make fun of the characters. Maggie Q acted wonderfully as "girl-friend, apprentice, and kung fu expert". This movie is a keeper. There are some parts that are not appropriate for little kids. Simply skip those part. Other than that, 85% is filled with humor, fun, and Ping-Pong!

I like this movie alot. It is hilarious in some scenes and just so wrong in others. The plot line is interesting to keep the movie entertaining. The acting is great. It tells a story of a childhood hero turned into a joke, grown up and trying to avenge his fathers murder...kind of. I would recommend this movie if you enjoyed Dodgeball or any "spoof" type movies. Thanks.

it was a very funny movie , i seen part of the movie at a motel on HBO , so i decided to buy it, my wife thought it was very dry humor.

PROBABLY THE BEST PING PONG MOVIE YOU WILL SEE. IT IS BETTER THAN AVERAGE BUT BEGINS TO STRAY FROM THE POINT NEAR THE END. THESE MOVIES SEEM TO RUN OUT OF STEAM AS THEY NEAR THE FINISH LINE. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE OF ITS PRICE. AND SOLD IT AS SOON AS I FINISHED IT. BALLS OF FURY WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU RENTED IT. NOT A BAD SHOW TO SPEND WITH THE FAMILY ON A RAINY DAY.

Typical spoof movie pretty close to the real versions that it is attempting to poke fun at, lots of good and bad one liners. Extras on DVD are interesting with a little insight into the effort involved in making on of these spoof movies.

When I saw the trailer for this on another DVD, i said to myself, I have to go get that, its going to be hysterical - NOT. There were some actual LAUGH OUT LOUD funny parts, but too few to make the move one of the classic comedies. Its worth a watch because its definitely entertaining for the 20s or 30s crowd. Otherwise, you've seen most of the sight gags before.

could ultimately be a cult classic.. that movie that comes back. it was stupid funny and i enjoyed it. i mean christopher walken is as weird as ever in it.

Take a look at this video first:

This movie is funny. Just the idea of under ground ping pong and the fact they based it on martial arts movies is histarical. This movie is good to just unwind and relax to. I truly injoyed it. The out takes and delited scens are funny on their own. I recomend this movie if you have a chance to purcase it.

The seller had what I wanted. I bidded on it, and then I won It, then it was shipped to me in a timely manor. It came in time said in item description. Opened it, played it, and I was totally pleased. thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I was "Balls of Fury" in the theater and loved it. It is a stand-out comedy. I don't usually laugh out loud at a movie. This one I did and still do.

* Table tennis with the stylus works really well
* Battling the CPU is fun for a while
* Multiplayer mode lets you compete against your local friends
* You can play ping pong as Christopher Walken.

The Bad

* Graphics and audio don't exude much energy
* You may need to take advantage of multiplayer to feel you got your money's worth.

Game Details | About Our Rating System

Whether or not you enjoyed the recent motion picture, the video game rendition of Balls of Fury for the Nintendo DS is actually quite agreeable. The movie's goofy characters and lame story are merely window dressing for a table tennis game that's easy to pick up and quite a bit of fun.

Spanning the system's two screens is a vibrant, though plain representation of a ping pong table. Your opponents and their half of the table are shown on the upper screen, while your paddle and your half of the table occupy the lower touch screen. To play the game, you simply use the stylus to move the paddle around and, in turn, serve and return the ball toward your opponent.

I wanted to see the movie but their are some bad ebay sellers out there and I found one. after 7 emails and now answers over 6 weeks that means the seller is bad news. turned seller into ebay as bad seller.

I am still waiting for the DVD to come in. I bought it on January 19th, and I am still waiting. I would not buy from this seller again.

I was desperate for Christmas gifts and started shopping eBay on the Thursday before Christmas. I was very fortunate to receive 3 of the 4 items I was desperate for on Christmas eve. Thank you eBay and sellers for making our Christmas easier and better.

Good Movie, Thanks! It was just as descbribed. A+++++++, Great Ebayer........................................................................................................................................................
