Plot Summary: In the unsanctioned, underground, and unhinged world of
extreme Ping-Pong, the competition is brutal and the stakes are deadly. Now,
this outrageous new comedy serves up this secret world for the first time
on-screen. Down-and-out former professional Ping-Pong phenom Randy Daytona (Tony
Award winner Dan Fogler) is sucked into this maelstrom when FBI Agent Rodriguez
(George Lopez) recruits him for a secret mission. Randy is determined to bounce
back and recapture his former glory, and to smoke out his father's (Robert
Patrick) killer – one of the FBI's Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng (Academy Award
winner Christopher Walken). But, after two decades out of the game, Randy can't
turn his life around and avenge his father's murder without a team of his own.
He calls upon the spiritual guidance of blind Ping-Pong sage and restaurateur
Wong (James Hong), and the training expertise of Master Wong's wildly sexy niece
Maggie (Maggie Q), both of whom also have a dark history with Feng. All roads
lead to Feng's mysterious jungle compound and the most unique Ping-Pong
tournaments ever staged. There, Randy faces such formidable players as his
long-ago Olympics opponent, the still-vicious Karl Wolfschtagg (Thomas Lennon).
Can Randy keep his eye on the ball? Will he achieve the redemption he craves
while wielding a paddle? Is his backhand strong enough to triumph over rampant
wickedness?

A
cheerfully ridiculous chopsocky walk on the dark side of table tennis. Sheri Linden: The Hollywood
Reporter
The Ping-Pong balls fly fast and furious -- and for a while,
so do the laughs -- in this willfully dumb sports-underdog send-up from
the creators/stars of Comedy Central's "Reno! 911." ...more
How
much you'll enjoy Balls of Fury depends solely on
whether you're into juvenile humor, groin shots, and
pratfalls Rebecca Murray: About.com Balls of Fury is a big, dumb comedy that spoofs films
from Enter the Dragon to Karate Kid while
putting a new spin on the sport of ping pong. The major
selling point of Balls of Fury is that it never for a
minute takes itself seriously....more
Delivers
some great laughs Bill Clark: From The Balcony
The title Balls of Fury opens the door for a
cavalcade of obvious jokes, and one should definitely
process that before entering the theater to catch this
comedy. It’s yet another that capitalizes on games that few
of us would even consider sports, and it continues this
summer’s unlikely run of comedies...more
