Summary: The story of the rise of a tough, resilient worker to prominence and power in a truckers union.
Stallone plays a Jimmy Hoffa-type in this well-conceived drama about powerful unions. As Johnny Kovak, an honest factory worker, Stallone takes on mobsters, union corruption and a crooked US senator after being forced to stand up for his rights. After cutting a deal with the Mob, he finds he may have to pay a higher price than he could have imagined.

A shamelessly low-brow parody, Kung Pow: Enter the Fistis a scrambling of footage from the 1975 Hong Kong martial arts epic Tiger &Crane Fistwith new material shot by director Steve Oedekerk (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) in which he doubles for original star Jimmy Wang Yu.
Following the style set by Woody Allen in What's Up Tiger Lily?, Oedekerk also dubs all the voices, rendering the basic revenge story even more formulaic and ridiculous. The villain turns out to be working for flying saucers manned by French aliens (!) and the Chosen One hero has an odd habit of using animals as weapons (gopher nunchakas, squirrel padding) and, in the stand-out scene, doing a full-on Matrix/Crouching Tigerbattle with an extremely agile killer cow.
A lot of the film is just dumb, but it still manages to beat laughs out of you with its relentless goofiness. Though it might seem an ego trip for Oedekerk, he is actually a likeable leading man, pulling funny faces and deliberately dubbing even his own voice badly.
On the DVD:Kung Pow: Enter the Fiston disc includes an animated draft of the kung fu cow scene, with special effects elements shown pre-mixing. There are also several deleted sequences and a director's cut of one extended fight scene. --Kim Newman
