Northern Kung Fu Gurning***SPOILERS***


Stripped to the waist, clenched knuckles and buttocks, staring at the sky and kicking and punching fresh air objects, all to the sound of music. Whats not to like about this film?
Some of these guys facial expressions while dancing were absolutely terrifying. Their expressions could be described as super aggressive constipation breakthrough moments, after a 2 hour marathon straining session. I know that gurning was invented in the North of England. These guys were top notch gurners. They reminded me a bit of the Monty Python Gumby character.
The music soundtrack was fantastic. The film was pretty good, but spoiled by these lead characters hamming it up, Spartacus style, on the dancefloor, chip shop or piece of waste ground.
Watching this film, while a little bit high, so I'm told, is an absolute scream.


2/5 Points

The gurning is more to do with being off your face on amphetamines than hamming it up.

Yeah this was really weird and awkward movie.
