Context YMMV / BallsOfFury

Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The film depicts Def Leppard as this.
2* FashionVictimVillain: In Masters Wong's words, Feng dresses like "He stole from Music/EltonJohn's garage sale."
3* HilariousInHindsight:
4** The brief ShoutOut to Creator/GeorgeTakei, when the FBI draws a (completely inaccurate) forensic sketch of Feng that looks exactly like him, seems a lot funnier when you watch this movie today. ''Balls of Fury'' was made in 2007, several years before George Takei's popularity unexpectedly exploded thanks to his gay rights advocacy and his massive prominence on Website/{{Facebook}}.
5** Creator/JamesHong plays an eccentric, though lovable old man who runs a restaurant (and also happens to be a parody of kung fu masters). A year later, he'd play Mr. Ping in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'', another lovably eccentric old man (or goose, rather) who runs a restaurant and lives in a world where kung fu masters are in abundance (incidentally, Creator/DanFogler would ''also'' have a part in that movie, albeit a smaller one, as Zeng the messenger goose).
6** Mahogany's primary role during the tournament is [[Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway giving out points.]]
7* MemeticMutation: "Have your grandma pull the car around."
8* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The movie had a tie-in video game, which falls into this trope with its finicky controls and lack of content.
9* RetroactiveRecognition:
10** Fans of Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway will recognize current host Creator/AishaTyler as Mohagany, Feng's dart-blowing henchwoman.
11** The FBI tech agent who provides the homing device is played by a pre-''Series/{{Community}}'' Creator/JimRash.
12* {{Squick}}: Master Wong eating noodles when he somehow catches Randy ogling Maggie, punishing him by grabbing his nuts with his chopsticks - then going back to eating. ''With those chopsticks.'' The scene ends with Wong shoving his chopsticks up Eddie's nose. ''[[RunningGag Then going back to eating again.]]''
