A Huge Comedy With Tiny Balls
In the unsanctioned, underground and unhinged world of extreme Ping-Pong, the competition is brutal and the stakes are deadly. Now, the outrageous new comedy, Balls of Fury serves up this secret world for the first time on screen!
Down-and-out former professional Ping-Pong phenomenon, Randy Daytona (Dan Fogler) is sucked into this maelstrom when FBI Agent Rodriguez (George Lopez) recruits him for a secret mission. Randy is determined to bounce back and recapture his former glory, and to smoke out his father's (Robert Patrick) killer - one of the FBI's Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng (Christopher Walken). But, after two decades out of the game, Randy can't turn his life around and avenge his father's murder without a team of his own.
He calls upon the spiritual guidance of blind Ping-Pong sage and restaurateur, Wong (James Hong), and the training expertise of Master Wong's wildly sexy niece, Maggie (Maggie Q), both of whom also have a dark history with Feng. All roads lead to Feng's mysterious jungle compound and the most unique Ping-Pong tournaments ever staged. There, Randy faces such formidable players as his long-ago Olympics opponent, the still-vicious Karl Wolfschtagg (Thomas Lennon).
Can Randy keep his eye on the balls? Will he achieve the redemption he craves while wielding a paddle? Is his backhand strong enough to triumph over rampant wickedness?
Critic Reviews:
" A good-natured, easy-to-take goof. " - Jeffrey Westhoff
" The last must-see comedy of the summer. " - Eric Lurio
" A breakout role for Dan Fogler, who comes across as a combination of Johns Belushi and Candy, exhibiting the former's unbounded enthusiasm, and the latter's ever-endearing charm. Just remember to check your brain at the box-office. " - Kam Williams
