Critics' Reviews

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
The first movie combining Ping-Pong and kung-fu and co-starring Maggie Q. How many could there be?Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Even at just 90 minutes, Balls of Fury - with its caricatures of the Asian underworld, with its G-man malarkey and gay jokes (Feng keeps an all-boy bevy of sex slaves) - begins to outstay its welcome.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Mark Feeney
The movie flaunts its ridiculousness and offers a relentless string of jokes about blindness, groin-bashing, and bodily odors.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
Intended as nothing more than a here-today, gone-tomorrow zany entertainment, and at the very least, it has a good-natured, slightly raunchy spirit about it. But ultimately, it's a hollow enterprise, all ping and no pong. It doesn't bounce; it splats.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: A.O. Scott
Raunchier and somewhat more imaginative than “Hot Rod.”Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
A joke of a title in search of a movie with a single good joke.Read Full Review »
