What Parents Need to Know
About Shaolin Soccer
Parents need to know that this movie has some comic violence and crude humor, including a scene of a man peeing on a wall. There is some action/fantasy violence, and characters are wounded. Characters smoke and drink, and there's a reference to "American drugs" (presumably steroids). A character mentions suicide as a response to humiliation. There is a joke about being in love with a married woman. A character removes his pants (off camera) and makes another character wear his underpants on his head to humiliate him.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how Sing saw Mui as beautiful even when no one else did. How did he know? What made it possible for the Shaolin team to begin to win? Families could also talk about the way that Sing made Shaolin into a way of life that affected everything he did.

Sometimes you can't be sure if it's supposed to be funny or serious
For example, some of the soccer "action" sequences can be so over the top that you might be laughing but you're still not sure if its supposed to be taken seriously. However, this movie is definitely aimed at the younger crowd, but I still found it quite amusing due to its randomized humor. If you are older and this type of off the wall humor, I highly reccommend watcdhing "Airplane", the greatest spoof movie helped rejuvinate the genre. That, or the other Zucker movies such as "The Naked Gun" series.
