Akiko Wakabayashi, Eisei Amamoto, Frank Buxton

In comic Woody Allen's film debut, he took the Japanese action film "International Secret Police: Key of Keys" and re-dubbed it, changing the plot to make it revolve around a secret egg salad recipe.

    Clever, but lame. I liked "Kung Pow!: Enter the Fist" much more.

    I thought it was funny the first time I saw it, but it really doesn't stand up to repeat viewing. Some very funny lines though..."Mom could always take a punch!"

    Hilarious and still very engaging (for reasons unknown).
  • March 3, 2008
    Unbelievably and awesomely hilarious.
  • October 30, 2009
    Good, a little strange, but funny.
  • October 27, 2009
    No, this is not funny even the first five minutes...

    You can?t help but laugh at some of the dialogue in this Woody Allen concoction. It?s a rather ingenious concept, and Woody does an amazing job dubbing the dialogue. Funny and very original.

    Woody Allen's very first film. Ah. It's not a perfect one, by any means, but it does have some absolutely wonderful moments. It's much more similar to an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 than to any of Allen's later efforts. Although parts of it are disjointed, there are e...( read more)nough good laughs to save the film. I definitely laughed out loud several times. Most worth seeing if you're already a Woody Allen fan. Or an MST3K fan.
