Kung Phooey is an independent film, directed and produced by Darryl Fong. In addition he also co-stars in the movie with Michael Chow and Colman Domingo. The movie is about a monk who tries to find a mysterious lost "Fountain of Youth" (a magic peach). He travels to British Columbia (actually filmed in San Francisco, poking fun at movies like Rumble in the Bronx that disguise BC locations to look like US cities), and, with a new band of friends, tries to retrieve the stolen artifact. The parody comes into play here with many jokes making fun of old Kung fu movies, for instance joking about how all the bad guys make "Hi-yah!" sounds.

Synopsis

The plot follows Art Chew's (a pun of the sound one makes when sneezing) quest to retrieve the ancient peach. The movie starts with Art Chew traveling to America, as well as showing Art's training at the Shur-li temple (a play on words with the child actor Shirley Temple), showing many kung-fu clichés such as grabbing the pebble from the masters hand (which Art succeeds without effort), fighting on trees (in this case small potted palms) and "listing" for elements (Earth, Wind & Fire play a funky tune). After the montage is shown, Art meets up with his cousin Wayman (a parody on the way Chinese pronounce r as w), a Chinese adult who tries to act American so he isn't embarrassed by stereotypes, and foster cousin Roy Lee, an African American who sincerely believes he is a reincarnation of Bruce Lee.

Mumble est tireur d'élite au sein des forces spéciales de la police de Hong Kong, mais il est plus attiré par les jolies filles que par son travail, même s'il y excelle, ce qui n'est pas le cas de ses relations avec les femmes.Il finit par se faire virer pour ses excès. Forcé de trouver un nouveau boulot, son chemin croisera celui d'une jeune (et très jolie) femme poursuivie par la mafia. Avec l'aide de son acolyte Mammouth, il tentera de la protéger... non sans quelques arrières pensées.

On the other hand, Dick realizes that he had always loved Wai-fong but she has gone elsewhere when he wants to express his love.
