| DVDJournal.comBetsy BozdechSteve Oedekerk's ode to bad '70s Hong Kong cinema is a gleefully bizarre combination of loving homage and merciless satire, bad special effects and unexpected jokes. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaEu não me surpreenderia caso descobrisse que este filme foi realizado por um grupo de adolescentes bêbados durante um churrasco da escola. |
| PanoramaJean-François VandeurenTotalement con et absurde, mais aussi totalement hilarant. |
| Filmcritic.comBlake FrenchWe can't accuse Kung Pow for misfiring, since it is exactly what it wants to be: an atrociously, mind-numbingly, indescribably bad movie. Unfortunately, we'd prefer a simple misfire. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderOedekerk wrote Patch Adams, for which he should not be forgiven. Why he was given free reign over this project -- he wrote, directed, starred and produced -- is beyond me. |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersI'd be lying if I said my ribcage didn't ache by the end of Kung Pow. |

| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanAn enjoyable, if unproductive, time at the movies. |

| Seattle TimesMelanie McFarlandKung Pow is Oedekerk's realization of his childhood dream to be in a martial-arts flick, and proves that sometimes the dreams of youth should remain just that. |
