Shaolin Ripoff

Making the rounds of the Bombay style sections (motto: never enough fluff) is a rumor that Muffy and Biff are attached to a Bollywood lift of the cheesy-brilliant Shaolin Soccer.

The movie will be called Goal. If the soccer is as bad as the close-zoom fakery in KANK, it’s gonna be a long movie.

But no worries, the Shaolin monks are on it with a stealth India trip to punish the violators:

… the legendary Buddhist Shaolin Monks [performed in Bombay]… a crescendo of sequences displaying speed, precision and coordination. [Link]

If I see weeping, I’m gonna lay some wing chun on these shameless rippers. Say hello to my leetle friend.

    Forget Shaolin Soccer. I hope someone does a blatant ripoff of the Iron chef inspired Stephen Chow film “God of Cookery”. Indian cooking combined with Shaolin Kung Fu should make for a delectable platter of movie goodness.
    Referring to KANK, I went and saw that in the most indian of indian audiences. Every time there was a song, groans all around.
