Quotes
Sing: [singing] Tai Chi Kung Fu used to make steamed buns, what a brilliant notion. Fill the pot from heaven with sweet buns; fantastic when done. You're a Kung Fu master, I can see. And your homemade treats look so tasty.

Q
How many different versions do exist of this movie?
A
Basically there are three different versions around. First of all one has to differentiate between the original Hong Kong Theatrical Version and the Director's Cut. The latter features two extended scenes and some outtakes before the end credits and runs approx. 10 minutes longer than the Theatrical Version. Both cuts can be found on several Asian DVD releases and the US-disc and a detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be seen here.There's also an International Cut available that runs more than 20 minutes shorter than the Asian versions. More than a 100 scenes were altered. A detailed comparison between the International Version and the Director's Cut with pictures can be found here.
Q
Can someone explain the ending to me?
A
At the end of the movie, Team Shaolin defeated Team Evil and won the championship. Sing's cyclone kick scored the winning goal. This can be clearly seen on the scoreboard during the final Trophy ceremony. Although many people believe Team Evil was leading 1-0 prior to Sing's cyclone kick, this is also not true. When the Team Evil player kicked the ball into Empty Hands' face and knocked him through the goal, the ball did not enter the net.
