    True Movie Review About The Creators and Hollywood in General

    This movie is full of faggotry and gay men content. The devil has truely entered the hearts of the creators. I hope Alah sends his Jihadists and suicide bombers to the place where they and their families congregate. This would be justice! Hollywood has gone too far and is really doing their best to taint American children's hearts with gay faggotry. It is our civic duty to put an end to this!!! Let God intervene as he did in Babalon and destry all who are trying to contaminate his world! Let him protect his own people and shield them from the angels set forth to destry those who are going to continually contaminate his people and young. May the lord grant justice upon these sinners with destruction of their earnings and prevent them of producing such evil movies. May all hackers share this movie freely so they earn nothing in return for such sin.

  • Oh No!

    Sucks. A waste of money.

    Not funny at all. I did not laugh one bit.

  • So-so

    Balls just out.

    Balls of Fury is a comedy based on the great Bruce Lee film, Fists of Fury and the Lee biopick Dragon. The comedy is uneven, the pace slows as some scenes run on without a big joke to finish them.

    Dan Fogler does a great job as the washed up ping pong phenom. He can do the physical comedy and his reactions work to get laughs. Christopher Walken is wonderful as always getting more out the material than it deserves just by being Walken. James Hong steals the show as the Master. The old guy can still get a laugh.

    Over 20 years ago A Fistful of Yen parody in the Kentucky Fried Movie got all of the comedy from the original in maybe 15 minutes and even that started to drag. The movie should have went beyond the original film and pulled comedy from other sources. They should have looked to Walken?s movies like the Deer Hunter for a start. As is the movie is a C+, it has some laughs and is amusing but not as good as it could have been.
