9. Kung Pow: Enter The Fist (2002)

Steve Oederkerk writes, directs, and stars in this kung-fu spoof that holds a Rotten score of 15%.

Now, humour is always subjective and if a critic isn’t laughing then they’re not going to give a comedy film a good review. Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is a deliberately silly film that a lot of critics found just too dumb.

Kung Pow's unrelenting commitment to being silly is reminiscent of Airplane! or The Naked Gun, with a barrage of gag after gag spoofing every facet of martial arts film tropes.

There's bad over-dubbing, a fight with a cow, and an extended sequence of a clearly fake baby doll rolling down a hill.

An under-appreciated gem that fans of martial arts films or goofball comedies will lap up.
