My Blog about the various things I like and some of the things I discover from time to time.

Shaolin Soccer - Netflix Review

Very funny campy 2001 comedy movie that until now I had never heard of.

As with many unknown Netflix films caution is generally the rule,  but lately I am diving in and giving more a chance.

There are many laugh out loud moments.

The special effects are on par with The Matrix. The story line is interesting.

From China I was surprised at the amount of border line humor was allowed. In Chinese but all signs and written words were in English.

Give it 20 minutes and you'll want to see it all.
