<![CDATA[<p> Before the competition at the "88 Olympics against the feisty Karl Wolfschtagg (Thomas Lennon), Randy finds out that his father put money on him to win the game to a man known only as Feng.  Unfortunately, because of the sudden pressure on Randy to win, he fails.  This means that Randy"s father gets killed as punishment for Randy not winning the game, and Randy is forced to not play the game again.</p>



 <p>At least for the next 19 years, when FBI Agent Rodriguez (George Lopez) seeks him out.  Turns out the man named Feng hosts secret to-the-death matches in Ping-Pong.  Rodriguez is out to 86 Feng's business once and for all, with Randy's help.  Rodriguez takes Randy to a tournament at an elementary school so that Randy can begin working his way up to be in Feng's game, allowing the FBI to finally catch him.  Randy realizes soon enough that he is dangerously out of practice to being playing in tournaments.</p>



 <p>We are then introduced to Wong (James Hong), a blind restaurateur who knows a thing or two about table tennis and has helped several people become experts, even the notorious Feng. Randy is taken under Wong's wing, as well as his niece Maggie who is also skilled in the art of Ping-Pong.  Through the teaching of Wong and his budding relationship with Maggie, Randy finally gets back into his element enough to up against “The Dragon,” the most worthy opponent of any Ping-Pong player.  Randy wins against the Dragon, who turns out to be a little girl, and is then given the golden paddle, the invitation to Feng's tournament.</p>


 <p>After a few humorous scenes of the travel to get to the tournament, there is the welcoming of Feng (Christopher Walken) to the movie, a reunion with Karl from "88, and a match against Maggie.  At the end of the movie, Randy has to defeat Feng and his men and avenge his father"s death, while helping the FBI shut down Feng once and for all.</p>


 <p>Out of 4 stars, I give “Balls of Fury” a 2. Even though the movie had a decent story line, the advertisement it gave for being a “Huge Comedy” as suggested by the movie poster was in vain as the movie really wasn't that funny. Even with Christopher Walken, the movie still flopped, and that's saying something.

</p><p>

  Despite a few scenes in the beginning, Wong's frequent antics, and a pretty climatic ending, “Fury” didn't have me rolling on the floor; it nearly had me waiting on the door.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FComedy%2FFury-Gets-Kicked-in-the-Balls.49224"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FComedy%2FFury-Gets-Kicked-in-the-Balls.49224" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
