       The race for 2002's worst film is over--the winner is "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist".  It will take one hell of a terrible movie to overthrow this one from the throne.  This could also be one of the worst films I have seen in my entire life. 
 
      Trying to capitalize on the success of spoofs like "Scary Movie", "Not Another Teen Movie", and I guess "Mister Magoo", this film is a total piece of crap. Steve Oedekerk (who also acts as director for this nightmare) plays The Chosen One, injected into a 1976 ninja flick.  Boring.  Guess what--the bad guy is a ruthless prick named Master Pain (aka Betty).  That is pretty much all you need to know about the plot to also derive that this was pathetic and worthless for everyone involved.  I would not be surprised if Steve Oedekerk never gets another directing gig in Hollywood again.  In fact, I am writing every studio in Hollywood and personally asking them to make sure I am never subjected to that kind of torture again (torture being an understatement).  I think maybe the justice system should do away with capital punishment and just lock really terrible inmates in a room together and make them watch "Kung Pow" for a couple of weeks non-stop.  If that doesn't send the inmates begging for forgiveness and reform, then I don't know what will. 
 
      I actually found my head starting to hurt from the moronic jokes and lack of intelligence in this film.  I would recommend the Tom Arnold film "The Stupids" to everyone I meet if it meant "Kung Pow" would be obliterated from this planet.  At least Tom Arnold made "I'm My Own Grandpa" sounds pretty funny in "The Stupids".  Who wants to watch a cow shoot milk from it's udders in a tacky ripoff of "The Matrix"?  Not I, says the pissed off movie goer.
 
      Now, I always try to find something enjoyable about a film, despite how utterly, utterly tasteless and faulty it may be.  What did I find?  The only thing good about it was that it was short.  Had it been any longer, I might have just left the theater and demanded a refund from the scum sucking theater manager who decided to show a film which only ended up grossing as much money as a Central Park restaurant on a Thursday night.  This movie blew.
