Balls of Fury

Posted on December 31, 2007November 30, 2018 by Village Vidiot

“Balls of Fury,” 31 December 2007, DVD.  Yes, it’s amazingly stupid. But it is funny and that’s what I was looking for. Stupid and funny on New Year’s Eve. Randy Daytona fails in the 1988 Olympics as a child prodigy table tennis whiz, his gambling dad dies because of it, and he finally washes up in Vegas where he’s doing tricks in the lowest of the low clubs. The FBI (George Lopez) needs him to infiltrate a ping-pong tournament run by an evil crime lord played brilliantly by Christopher Walken who looks like he’s actually having a really good time!. The goof kung fu training in ping pong is very funny, as is the sudden death tournament run by Walken. No big deal, no insights, but fun dumb humor made this a fun way to go out.
