If you loved Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, try Shaolin Soccer

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Stephen Chow, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Action / Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

playful

What Shaolin Soccer is

Hong Kong streets, soccer ball bouncing, temple bells ringing. A team of Shaolin monks kicks and flips, combining kung fu with headers and goals. Chow's comedic touch makes martial arts meet sports.
