- Synopsis
- Shaolin was an art practiced through the ages; a skill mastered in the heart. In Shaolin Soccer, it is so much more than a philosophy for six young believers. It is a complete way of life. But as the world changed around them, and Honor and Discipline become forgotten virtues, they lose their way - except for one loyal follower, Sing (Chow). With the help of a former soccer star, he reunites his old, out of shape, misfit friends, and recruits a young woman with extraordinary Kung Fu skills. Together, they're out to combine the ancient power of Shaolin with the modern game of soccer and in the process, just might take the world's most popular sport to its most extreme.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Shaolin Soccer is 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' with soccer balls, a touch of Sergio Leone and not one microsecond of seriousness"
-
"If you're looking for substance in a Hong Kong movie, stick with Wong Kar-wai. But if brainless, predictable fun will do, check out Shaolin Soccer"
-
"Comedy-action lunacy of a truly high, and endlessly bizarre, order"
