I changed capoeria to tae kwan do. I've seen the movie and the style resembles nothing like capoeria.-intranetusa

Are you sure it wasn't banned in Mainland China? I heard it on the news... --Comrade-HW 12:52, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I thought the Lion King Theme was woven in and out through the movie. Also, when there are sad scenes involving Mui, Grieg's "Solveyg's Song" is playing.

The two dreadlocked soccer players during the semi-finals were the female protagontists from two of his previous movies, "God of Cooking" (Karen Mok) and "God of Acting" (I don't remember her name)

intranet, how does it resemble TKD at all? TKD has close to NO groundwork. It's more like breakdancing a la Zack, the first Black Power Ranger, if nothing else 75.30.230.217 01:25, 22 December 2006 (UTC) Ninjarina P.S. I did the note about music and other notable characters but I forgot to sign it.

[edit] This should be filled out before being put back in the article.

List of Brothers/Best Friends First Big Brother;Iron Head: The First Big Brother works in a club as a janitor. He has the ability of Iron Head. His head, as it is implied, is as tough as iron. He has the ability to do flips, balance and head butt people or objects with being injured by it unless if the person was stronger than he is (ex. Team Evil's "Iron Head" was enhanced with steroids which made him "more powerful" than Iron Head) The Chinese Pronounciation of his name is Teet Tou Gung. His stance is balancing on his head.

Second Big Brother;Hooking Kick: Suffering from a a receding hairline and baldness, he works as a collector of feces and urine and a dishwasher. His ability is to do circular footsweeps, whirlwind kicks and spin kicks. The Chinese Pronounciation of his name is Shoon Fung Day Tong Tui.

Im confused as to how deflating a soccer ball and yelling "No more soccer" makes a sequel more likely......71.243.216.211 05:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I think the story should be longer. Could anyone please expend it or I can write it if I'm allowed to; I mean it'll be easier since I have the movie itself. Sincerly Kniaz

I'm a bit confused..is there Shaolin Soccer 2 in HOng-Kong ?, i have seen this on E-mule.

[edit] Goalkeeper

His name is "Empty Hand" and not "Iron Palm". Do you ever see him use his palms to strike anyone in the entire movie? No. He uses his fast hands to catch things. This is for the anonymous user who keeps on changing it back. (Ghostexorcist 21:59, 22 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Unverified information

"In the last scene, when Mui plays a goal-keeper and saves the goal by using her Tai Chi techniques, the Lion King theme song plays in background."

Is there proof of this? The music playing is similar to Lion King, but it's part of the original Shaolin Soccer soundtrack. Someone should remove this information unless someone can verify this information with a reference.

Why the hell would you strike a line through a sentence on the main article? There is already a tag asking for a citation. What you did could be considered vandalism. Do not do it again!

And for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, he did this: User:208.47.211.5 (Ghostexorcist 18:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC))

There's no need to be downright offensive about it. I didn't want to remove it just in case someone could verify it, but I didn't want it to be mistaken as true either. Also, I'm the one that put the citation tag on it at the same time. I did what I thought was right in the best interest of accurate information. If it was wrong, thanks for correcting it, but you don't have to be a jackass about it.

And now you know better. Don't do it again. (Ghostexorcist 20:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC))
