Balls of Fury review

This'll be brief. If you like old martial arts movies, or ping-pong, or both, this movie is very funny. Christopher Walken is hilarious, way over the top (unusual, right...), and eminently believable as the megalomaniac bad guy (yes, quite a stretch for him). Dan Fogler is funny, though I don't know I've seen him anywhere else. IMDB to the rescue again. No, not much that isn't brand-new. The real reason guys will enjoy this movie, though, is Maggie Q, who also made an appearance the earlier reviewed Die Hard sequel.

Worth a rental, especially if you have plenty of beer and maybe a ping-pong table available after the viewing.
