Enable me to get private with you for a minute. This deliriously foolish parody of ’70s kung fu motion pictures was my favourite film after I was in sixth grade, and there are dozens of traces from it which can be lodged in my mind eternally despite the fact that I have never seen it in most likely 15 years. It tells the story of the Chosen One, performed by writer-director Steve Oedekerk, who has to save lots of his village from the evil Betty with the assistance of his sentient tongue, Tonguey. (“Yi yi!”) It is a mixture of digitally altered footage from an actual kung fu film, Tiger & Crane Fists, and unique footage. This one’s for the 12-year-olds and 12-year-olds at coronary heart.
