New Movie: Kung Fu-kun

Chinese child martial artist Zhang Zhuang will be hitting Japanese theaters tomorrow with the release of Kung Fu-kun, a wacky action comedy that teams the kid up with al all-star cast of Japanese celebrities and comedians. Here’s the official film trailer and a plot summary from Eigapedia:
A young shaolin martial arts student defeats a series of foes and is told his final enemy is located in Japan. When he arrives he befriends a middle-aged woman who manages a Chinese restaraunt called Koraku. Together they get mixed up in various kung fu mayhem.
And a video of Zhang Zhuang showing off some cool moves on a morning news program:
If you’re interested in this movie, you might want to check out Mark Schilling’s review of it over at the Japan Times.
[props to Danny Choo for discovering these cool videos!]

Haha, he’s so cute when he’s fighting the three big guys in black.
I wonder if this’ll be shown much in China; might help foster Sino-Japanese relations just a little bit.

I’d watch it. I am absolutely certain it will be better than Taitei no Ken!

This video of a live TBS broadcast is a little disturbing. Zhang Zhuang starts bleeding pretty badly – makes you wonder the level to which he is being exploited…
