Renchi is offering an exclusive low price of only US$2.99 for each DVD of Kung Fu Dunk. The movie revolves around Shi-Jie (Jay Chou), an orphan who grew up in a Martial Arts School. With his nifty Kung-fu skills, he is spotted by Wang-Li (Eric Tsang) who invites him to join the university's basketball team in the hope of making money from him. There, Shi-Jie finds out that Li-li (Charlene Choi), whom he has been admiring, is the sister of the team's captain. She, however, idolises Xiao-Lan (Baron Chen), one of the other players on the team and it is this love triangle that throws the team off course initially before they gather their wits about them and focus on the real competition on the courts.
Director Kevin Chu works on a fail-proof formula of a tried-and-tested storyline and casting of superstar Jay Chou in the lead role. Supported by well known faces in the likes of Charlene Choi and Eric Tsang, this movie was a blockbuster during its release. The director also cleverly keeps Jay Chou's role simple and boyish and the love/hate, romance and other themes that the movie introduces and then deftly hidden from view, so that the attention consistently stays on the courts.
A comparison between this movie and other like movies such as "Shaolin Soccer", "Kung Fu Hustle" and the same-date 2008 release of Stephen Chow's "CJ7" will be inevitable. Yet this movie should be able to hold its own simply by Jay Chou's drawing power. Fans will be eager to see his kung fu skills and to see him in action playing his favourite sport - basketball. In addition, Jay Chou in "Kung Fu Dunk", compared to his earlier movies, attempts a 'slam dunk' in this movie by dappling with the deeper emotional stuff which his earlier works had largely avoided.
