Wow, I guess people saw this movie way differently than I did


5.3 rating on imdb. I give it a 9/10 because admittedly not every single joke landed but enough of them did. Normally I might put it around a 7, but considering the low rating, I vote in response to imdb's current rating.

Balls of Fury is a perfectly executed Enter the Dragon remake for people who like ping pong and wish Bruce Lee's movie was a comedy. Dan Fogler embodies the heroes journey unlike anyone since Neo from the Matrix. I'm hyperbolic (kinda), but there's no other way this movie would have it. Definitely underappreciated gem.

Good performances by pretty much everyone except Christopher Walken. But isn't that always the case.

I agree! I have it a 7. I thought it was funny enough. I do t know why it's rated so poorly.
