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 (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 killer – one of the FBI's Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng (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 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.
This movie is exactly what you would think it would be - totally pointless and incredibly stupid. However, as long as you know to expect that (why anyone wouldn't is completely beyond me), you can manage to laugh at quite a few spots. I rented this with bottom of the barrell expectations and came away thinking that the movie wasn't that bad. I always find Christopher Walken hilarious . . . . . even when he's being serious.
I wouldn't fully recommend anyone checking this out because it is a truly dumb movie. If you are okay with spending the money for some cheap laughs then knock yourself out though.
