"Shaolin Football" is a "sports + kung fu" type of movie. This theme has a precedent in the Hong Kong film industry with "Bo Niu", but Stephen Chow wants to use a lot of computer special effects in the film. He does not want a few simple martial arts moves to appear on the football field, but wants to turn ordinary football players into peerless masters.
