| Balls of Fury | comment |
From a slate of obscure-sports sports movie parodies (DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story, Blades of Glory) that were popular in the mid-'00s. It is directed by Robert Ben Garant with the screenplay by Garant and Thomas Lennon.Nineteen years after a humiliating failure at the '88 Olympic Games against Karl Wolfschtagg (Lennon), ping-pong prodigy Randy Daytona (Dan Fogler) is eking out a living as a trick-ping-pong-artist; on the day he gets fired, he is invited by FBI Agent Ernie Rodriguez (George Lopez) to be the Bruce Lee equivalent in a ping-pong themed Enter the Dragon parody: reclusive criminal overlord hosting exclusive tournament in private fortress.The film also stars Christopher Walken as Feng, Maggie Q as Maggie Wong and Robert Patrick as Pete Daytona. | |

| Balls of Fury / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Randy's first opponent is Patton Oswalt. Robert Patrick appears as Randy's father Pete. Diedrich Bader as one of the "courtesans". Masi Oka as the bathroom attendant is brief enough to match Stan Lee - he gets KO'd after one line. | |

Not Just a Tournament | |
| Balls of Fury / int_275847f0 | comment |
Not Just a Tournament: As befits a parody of Enter the Dragon, the reason for the FBI being interested in the tournament is because of a crime lord funding it... and using it to draw the attention of unlawful people interested in his product, which is undetectable plastic firearms. | |

Only Smart People May Pass: Parodied. The directions to the rendezvous for the transport of the tournament are on the "Golden Racquet", as a Chinese riddle. Daytona seems to solve it, but then shows that the address was printed in English on the other side of the racquet, which nobody had noticed until then. | |

The Dragon: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is the man who's been doing all the legwork for Feng, including kidnapping and killing Randy's father. Feng's female assistant, Mahogany, who among her other duties executes losing contestants with poisoned darts. For extra Shout-Out points, she resembles May Day. The best player in the local competition in the first act is a little girl who is literally nicknamed "the Dragon". | |

The incompleteness of his training becomes a Hoist by His Own Petard during his battle with Daytona. | |

Casual Danger Dialogue: Maggie beats 3 people in ping pong at the same time while also answering the phone to take a food delivery order, while sounding absolutely bored. | |

| Balls of Fury / int_df60d405 | comment |
Culture Chop Suey: Feng's palace looks mostly Chinese, but there's Sumo wrestlers carrying his palanquin, and Feng's fashions make him look like Bram Stoker's Dracula. There's even what appears to be North Korean officers, but those are probably guests. | |

Ambiguously Gay: Feng. His "courtesans" are all men. And they don't need to be gay for some reason. Randy hangs out with one like they were bros. | |

Expy: Jason Scott Lee plays Eddie, the translator for "The Dragon," doubling as an Shout-Out to himself in Enter the Dragon and also as a Shout-Out to the urban legend of Bruce Lee fighting for the ability to teach the kwailo kung fu. "The Dragon" herself is an Expy to Bruce Lee, in this case in the realm of ping pong. | |

Mighty Whitey: Though Randy is referred to by his teacher as "gwailo" (literally "ghost man" but taken to mean "foreign devil"), he is acknowledged as the only player able to beat Feng's contestants (and Feng himself). | |
