It’s the silliest thing in genre-twisting kung fu action comedy since Steve Oedekerk‘s CG-insertion of himself into 1970’s chop socky via Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. It’s also being dubbed as the first kung fu film written directly thanks to the hilarious and artful comedic wit of Facebook users for ad agency MercerBell’s year-long publicity push for food company Maggi Fusian Noodles.
The film is titled Fists Of Fusian, with scenes taken straight from Celestial Shaw’s 1974 Chang Cheh film, Five Shaolin Masters. Clips were split as episodes for the public to caption according to the Mandarin dialogue, and were voted for according to the most funniest. The scenes were then edited into about eighteen minutes of film that take a story of five fugitive Shaolin fighters secretly rebelling against Qing soldiers, and turning it into a story about bad jokes, girly fans, and the ultimate battle for noodles, with some sweet choreography from legends Lau Kar-wing, and the late, great Lau Kar-leung.
I don’t know about you, but I’m at work right now and I’m hungry. *sigh* Oh well. Hmph! Here’s Fists Of Fusian! Bon Appétit!
