Before Shaolin Soccer there was The Champions , a kung-fu soccer comedy produced by Yuen Woo Ping (action director of The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon )! Charismatic Yuen Biao stars as Lee Tong, a country kid whose natural athleticism becomes his ticket to the world of professional soccer. Unfortunately, Lee's first act upon arriving in Hong Kong is to offend the sport's number one player, King (Dick Wei), who uses Lee's initiation into the soccer world as an excuse to torture the kid. But Lee is undaunted, and when he finally gets the chance to show his stuff on the field, he becomes an instant sensation - which only fuels the jealousy of the corrupt King even further. Eventually the two square off in a no holds-barred soccer match, and the price is more than just pride...the loser may have to give up their legs! Co-starring Moon Lee and Cheung Kwok Keung, The Champions is an enjoyable and wildly entertaining Hong Kong Cinema classic, and an absolute must-see for any fan of Yuen Biao! First Press comes with a postcard, only available while supplies last.
