Twitch with word of a sequel to Shaolin Soccer. Don’t get excited, it will be all Japanese with Steve Chow only producing. Why even bother? There is a Shoalin Soccer TV series in China that gets played on KTSF in San Francisco at times, but it is not as good as the movie, either.
Here’s what we know: it’s the announcement of Shaolin Girl (Shaolin Shoujo), a sequel to Stephen Chow’s action-comedy Shaolin Soccer. It’s a purely Japanese film – with Chow on board as producer – starring Kou Shibasaki and directed by Odoro Daisousasen’s Katsuyuki Motohiro with the sports setting moved away from soccer and into the world of lacrosse.
