YMMV / Balls of Fury

• Awesome Music: The film depicts Def Leppard as this.
• Fashion-Victim Villain: In Masters Wong's words, Feng dresses like "He stole from Elton John's garage sale."
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • The brief Shout-Out to George Takei, 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 Facebook.
  • James Hong 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 Kung Fu Panda, 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, Dan Fogler would also have a part in that movie, albeit a smaller one, as Zeng the messenger goose).
  • Mahogany's primary role during the tournament is giving out points.
• Memetic Mutation: "Have your grandma pull the car around."
• The Problem with Licensed Games: The movie had a tie-in video game, which falls into this trope with its finicky controls and lack of content.
• Retroactive Recognition:
  • Fans of Whose Line Is It Anyway? will recognize current host Aisha Tyler as Mohagany, Feng's dart-blowing henchwoman.
  • The FBI tech agent who provides the homing device is played by a pre-Community Jim Rash.
• 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. Then going back to eating again.
