Balls of Fury

Go To

  • 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:
    • 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 1, 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:
  • 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.
