Plot: Champion player Fung (Ng Man-tat) is so good that they call him “Golden Leg.” However, when he loses the Chinese national championship game by missing a goal, enraged fans break his legs. Twenty years later, Fung is hauling equipment for his former teammate Hung’s (Patrick Tse) “Team Evil.” When Fung is fired, he comes across Sing (Stephen Chow), a monk from the legendary Shaolin Temple with superlative martial arts skills and a “Mighty Iron Leg.” Unfortunately, in modernday China, there is little money to be made as a monk, so Sing ekes out a meager living collecting garbage. Sing dreams of “a world gone Shaolin,” where Kung Fu is used to solve even the smallest problems. When Fung sees Sing take on a bunch of thugs with nothing but a soccer ball, he hatches the brilliant idea of forming a Shaolin soccer team. They set out to recruit Sing’s former Shaolin classmates— all are down and out— but each has a special power adding to the team’s limitless potential. One has a head of iron, another bears stomach muscles able to propel the ball at warp speed, a third weighs 300 pounds but possesses the ability to walk on air, and finally the goalie who can stop any shot. Well, almost any shot.Shaolin Soccer shows the game of soccer in “bullet time”, so the eye follows the action
