Ain’t it great that the paid writers here can’t get their basic familiarity with the classics down enough for their reviews? Why, the reviewer at the Avocado would never make such a mistake!

Thank you for posting! This description of how they wanted Noho Hank’s character to be is so perfect: “What if he was like one of those guys who works at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store?”
thanks for posting this!
Well, this proudly joins the relatively small cohort of shows that’ve managed to leave me truly reeling at the end of an episode. Holy fuck, this is precisely how you make a slow burn gut punch last a full half hour.
It would be bearable if they had a ‘No Eye Contact’ rule but the unwashed think it’s their right to look around freely.
Cleanliness of those goggle is one thing, but I can only image how many people they have to staff to mop off vomits for the first time VR user.
Close caption is your friend. My problem is since I can only watch this on my laptop the dark scenes are hard to see. I tried streaming my laptop onto my Chromecast but it kept acting up. At least ad block works. Even with these issues this is the best thing on tv right now.
I really, REALLY hope they don’t go where I think they’re going, and BRODIE her. Having Carrie have been broken in Russian prison and become a Manchurian double agent for Russia so when Saul gets her back to normal she’s actually a Russian plant, a la Brodie. For the whole synchronicity of him as her ‘soul mate’…
I spit my coffee. I had never seen that before. Hilarious.
That scene is actually funny. I was always partial to the villain character pointing at pictures of tigers and saying “tiger..... Tiger....tiger”. Don’t know why it makes me laugh
I’ve always felt that Kung Pow is a masterpiece of nonsensical humor, and also a great parody of poorly americanized kung fu movies of the 60s and 70s. Since I love both of those things I’m pretty much the target audience. Since you liked Don’t be a Menace... I suspect you will enjoy Kung Pow.
Kung Pow! is a stupid movie but an infinite well of quotable lines.
I have a real soft spot for KUNG POW, and snorted when I saw this again. It’s by no means perfect, but I laugh a lot at it. The baby-rolling-down-the-hill gag is a favorite.
The weird thing with Kung Pow is that whenever someone describes a bit from it or quotes a line, it usually sounds pretty funny to me, but then I see it in the move itself and I feel absolutely nothing.
“We are two ventriloquists.” “He swings a little bit faster!” “He swings a little bit slower!”
“My nipples look like milk duds!”
Sometimes my wife will look at me and just start going:
WEEEE-ooooooooWEEEEEE-oooooo
It always kills me.
“We trained him wrong on purpose, as a joke!”
It’s a movie that walks that line between terrible and hilarious for me - it’s just insanely quotable.
Two from Hot Shots Part Deux:
Ooh, dreadful (mostly) sequel time!
Yeah, I don’t care. I love Kung-Pow.
I still quote that movie. Sometimes when it makes sense, sometimes not.
