Hao Shuang Xing (Tiger and Crane Fists)
After
watching Kung Pow, I just had to see the inspiration. Tiger and Crane
Fists starts off with a completely different scene to Oedekerk's
version, which threw me off right from the get go. I assumed the
storylines would be roughly the same, and I suppose they are to an
extent, but Kung Pows is a lot easier to follow and understand.
Having watched Kung Pow prior to this, I can only really see it
as opposed to the original when I watch. Even the dubbing sounds
similar. There's not much I can say about Tiger and Crane Fists that
I haven't praised Kung Pow for already, so I reckon you'd have a
better time watching that instead.
Unintentionally
funny, but not as good as Oedekerk's adaptation. - 2.5 tigers out of
5 cranes
