Kung Pow! Enter the Fist is a 2002 American martial arts comedy film that parodies Hong Kong action cinema. Written, directed by and starring Steve Oedekerk, it uses footage from the 1976 Hong Kong martial arts film Tiger & Crane Fists (also called The Savage Killers) starring and directed by Jimmy Wang Yu, along with new footage shot by Oedekerk, who is also digitally inserted over Wang in many scenes, to create an original, unrelated plot.

Wimp Lo: Knock, knock. Who's there? Your butt that's about to be kicked!
  • As Mu-Shu Fasa disappears, he says, "This is CNN..." James Earl Jones is the voice that says this famous line on the CNN television channel, as well as the voice of Mufasa in The Lion King (1994) (of which Mu-Shu Fasa is an obvious parody)
  • When the camera is positioned above the waterfall, the RMS Titanic can be seen in the water below.
  • The scene in which Chosen is talking to Mu-Shu Fasa was filmed in Steve Oedekerk's backyard with a digital video camera. A lamp was used for light and a hairdryer was used for wind.
  • To create the effect of bad dubbing, writer Steve Oedekerk wrote a script of nonsensical dialogue for the actors to say. The real dialogue was dubbed during post-production. For example, when Chosen says "But, isn't Betty a woman's name?" If you read his lips he says, "But, isn't Trouble a family game?".
  • After Betty kills everyone the chosen one cares about he decides to invent a new stronger word than "bad" and "wrong", he comes up with the portmanteau "Badong", which happens to be a county in china (Badong Xiàn).
