Kung Fu Soccer is Stephen Chow's long-awaited spiritual successor to his 2001 classic Shaolin Soccer, this time centering an underdog women's football team, the Emei squad, as they train kung fu into their game to fight for the "Supreme Invincible Cup." Zhang Xiaofei stars as Shuang, the team's hardened captain and de facto coach, who has to set aside her domineering habits to reconnect with her attacking partner.
Dilraba Dilmurat plays Jade (Yulong), the aggressive, unruly striker who gained real muscle and trained for months to bring an authentic physical edge to the role, breaking sharply from her usual ethereal image. Lay Zhang (Zhang Yixing) plays Xu Feng, the team's gruff old-school kung fu coach and former Shaolin soccer great, with Carina Lau and Takeru Satoh rounding out the cast in memorable special appearances.
Written and directed by Stephen Chow on his most expensive budget to date, Kung Fu Soccer topped the Chinese box office on release, blending practical stunt choreography, larger-than-life martial arts, and genuine heart into a story about an overlooked team proving they belong.
