Maybe we should!
Maybe not the third
@@knull_42 Bull, the third one is great and a perfect encompassment of all 3
All 3 were great.
How about Kung Pow : enter the fist? An absolute absurd movie about kungfu
What I like about the end fight is that while Shifu and Tai-Long were fighting it dark and stormy, but as soon as Po arrived, the sun was shining through the clouds.
That's true! He naturally brightens up the mood
@@NiceDudeMovieNight It's actually more than that. It's Colour Theory: Gold represents Heroism in the series: in that instance, Gold light from the sunrise was symbolising Po's arrival. The Dragon Scroll is golden. Even Tai Lung's flashback was golden, until he turned into the villain.
And consider all this, then look at Tai Lung's design. He has *golden eyes* because he *views himself* as the Hero claiming what's rightfully his. But if you check when he's a kitten, he doesn't have that gold in this eyes, because that view came later in his life. And notice how Tigress, who Shifu also thinks should be the Dragon Warrior, also has golden eyes and views herself the better claimant of the title, and similarly lacked the golden eyes as a cub...
The colour theory really develops more in Kung-Fu Panda 2, but I'll leave that for you to see in that movie.
@@KingofStrawberries Will you explain the red in the second movie when they react to that, too? I really like colour theory, lol
@@tsuumee4545 But of course! I love colour theory myself, especially when it just subtly enters the scene. Ever seen the Iron Giant? Towards the end, when certain events transpire, watch the colour of the sky :P
@@KingofStrawberries I like that! I am going to have to look up Colour Theory on my own!
with the fight sequence over the last dumpling, you finally get to see Master Shifu actually enjoying himself and laughing.
Yeah, it's cool to see Po bring that out of him and Shifu find proper closure with his previous failed apprentice
@@NiceDudeMovieNight "I eat when im upset" to "Im not hungry" what growth
This scene is also a homage to Jackie Chan's movie "The fearless hyena".
I love this movie! The Fight scenes are so epic its unbelievable.
Also I love the shot of Thai Lung looking at the scroll with his face being reflected while saying "It's nothing", really shows that his real problem wasn't being snuffed for the Dragon Warrior title but rather that he defind himself solely by his supposite destiny of becoming the Dragon Warrior that it consumed him.
Yeah, he was so consumed by the concept of "destiny" that he never took any real control of his own life. It makes for a really interesting and kind of tragic villain!
Not sure whether I'm looking too deep into it, but I like to think from 25:03 to 25:08 was symbolic of him accepting both parts of his new life: being both the Dragon Warrior and being a noodle maker.
Oh that would totally make sense! By the end of the movie, he embraces both parts of himself
"I really just dropped a mic and now I'm gonna DIE"
Chocolate milk just went out my nose
Oh no 😂
"There is no secret ingredient" is partially a commentary on other American-made martial arts flicks where there is some secret deus ex machina technique that is not only unrealistic but thematically undermines the main character's growth. Even the original Karate Kid had its special "unblockable kick" (which turned out to be a very basic and easily blockable kick you learn day 2 in most dojos). The "secret ingredient" in Kung Fu Panda is simply all the hard work you put in to be able to knock down the Dragon Scroll in the first place. It's much more applicable to real life anyhow.
Po when he looks at the scroll: “It’s blank.”
Tai Lung when he looks at the scroll: “It’s nothing!”
There’s that difference.
Blank is something that can be fill up, like a blank paper that can be draw or write over to make it better. Nothing is like you can’t replace it with anything. I love the point of view of Po and Tai Lung’s characters
What does one see when one opens the Dragon Scroll?….(it’s a mirror, so; self-reflection, psychological projection, perception, judgement) the answers for these visual metaphors are limitless, clearly why we all love this movie.
My wife and I saw this on our honeymoon. We wanted to go to the movies, but there wasn't a whole lot out at the time. We picked this one because we didn't have any better options and went in with little to no expectations. Needless to say, we came out totally blown away.
I believe that sometimes we need some goofy, mindless fun in life. It's nice to watch something that can simply be visually appealing and fun.
I was 6 when I saw this in theaters, and it's absurd to how much time has passed since then.
I would definitely be interested in seeing you guys react to the sequels, they're also really good.
There are sequels?
@@sidrat2009: yes, Kung Fu Panda 2 and 3, both wonderful and building the arc.
One of my favorite details from the movie: In Po and Oogway's interaction, Oogway calls out that Po eats when he's upset. Then later once Po has finished his training, he refuses to eat the last dumpling because he isn't hungry, showing that for the first time he is truly happy and proud of his accomplishments.
“ Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.” Is one of my all time favourite quotes.
Something i hadn't noticed until watching y'alls reaction is how full circle it comes with him realizing the meaning of the scroll that they keep the theme of food being a catalyst to his learning since he needs to hear about the secret ingredient to further his training even more.
Super happy y'all did a reaction to this btw honestly one of my favorite movie series where every iteration is a solid 10/10.
Pleassssseeeeee continue this franchise. Kung fu panda 2 is my favourite animated movie ever. Such a beautiful film
The animation only gets more and more beautiful as the films progress. And the soundtracks--ooooh!
8:32 "You've never seen _Bear_ Style!"
This is a reference to the Furious Five, who represent five different styles of Kung Fu: Tiger, Monkey, Crane, Snake, and Mantis.
Okay, but now you have to do the rest of what genuinely might be the greatest film trilogy of all time
i have always thought that oogway did the wuxi finger hold to himself when he says good bye to shifu... that's why al the petals get around him, and thats also why shifu says, "the hardest part is cleaning up afterwards", in KP3 we learn that when they use the technique, flower petals are always scattered around
I love that small moment where Tai Lung almost lets himself forgive Shifu, it shows part of the old him still lives. Which is why I honestly want him to have a redemption ark in Kung Fu Panda 4.
Loved Jack Black’s performance! Can’t wait to hear him as Bowser in the Super Mario Bros movie!
Yesss we can't wait either!
Me three!
Bros....I don't comment very often on videos, but I think this one is LONG overdue. I just want to say that I think you guys are just great. I love your genuine reactions, and your clear friendship. It reminds me of me and my best friend. Keep up the good work, and never stop being bros!
Thank you so much 😭 We have no plans to stop being bros!!
I need these guys to follow me around to just talk about whatever. Their voices and conversations make my brain calm. Trying to avoid medications, this helps for now.
Aw, we appreciate that a lot! I totally get how it feels when your brain won't shut up. Stay strong, dude 👍
Heck yeah, saw the community post, glad to see you all enjoyed it. Highly recommend the other films. The trilogy is a whole lot of fun. And if we’re doing some of Dreamworks movies here there, other recommendations I can give are the How To Train Your Dragon movies, MegaMind is a fun ride, their first film Antz, any of their 2D films, and their most recent hit Puss In Boots The Last Wish. Seriously all good stuff imo.
MegaMind and Puss in Boots 2 are the ones in your recs that we haven't seen! Antz is a fun one though 😁
@@NiceDudeMovieNight Nice. MegaMind isn’t mind blowing but imo is a fun flick and a lot better than what you would think. Puss in Boots 2 is amazing tho, like you wouldn’t think a sequel to a spin off to Sherk would be anything special, but the team behind it went all in in terms of animation, story, characters and just generally going all out to make an enjoyable movie experience, it’s legit really really good.
Everything regarding Tai-Long's escape is genius. A wonderful piece of cinema.
Kung Fu Panda 2 is one of my favorite animated movies of all time. I think you guys'd love it. I know I'd like to see your reaction to it.
You can take or leave the third one
Finally! A worthy movie! Their reactions will be legendary!
And that seen was left out ! I’m so sad 😭
''my fist hungers for justice (grumbling noises).. that was my fist''
-the dragon warrior''
10:21 I love the fact that everything the guards do only aid in his escape. They really did meet their fates trying to avoid it
The Tai Lung prison escape sequence is possibly the best animated action sequence ever put to film...I'll listen to alternatives
Can we take a moment to appreciate Shifu? Not only is this guy capable of weaving the furious 5, but in his expertise as a master and teacher, he was able to figure out Po’s strength (food) and use it to his advantage to train the next dragon warrior from scratch. What an amazing character man
Please, please, please - watch the other 2! They're just as good and the visuals are stunning!!
Hope you guys watch the other 2, they're so good as a proper continuation to Poe's story
Such a fantastic movie. KFP2 is still my favorite, but I gotta pay respects to the OG for being an amazing start to this series
The funniest animated Martial Arts Action Comedy Film ever made!
You should definitely watch the other Kung Fu Panda movies. His dream in the first movie even comes true somewhat in the second which was a nice touch.
One cool thing about the floor creaking at 9:09 is that was an intentional thing in China and Japan. Homes would have special floors that would intentionally creak to alert when a ninja/thief was trying to sneak around, or when children were out of bed.
Can't wait for you guys to react to Kung Fu Panda 2 and 3! It's a big claim but I'm gonna say it: Kung Fu Panda is one of the best trilogies of all time.
I really liked how the message of the story was incorporated in this animation. No one can feel they are too old when seeing this story, I think there is something intrinsic about this story that I cannot tell why a movie like puss in boots which came out this year did not have.
Is it a more mature set of characters which made this a classic whereas puss in boots had an adult topic at its core but very child like characters. All this to say that kung fu panda is a special product for what it delivers.
That wasn't completely Jack Black singing in Kung Fu Fighting. That was mainly CeeLo Green. Jack Black did some background singing in this song😊😊😊
That makes sense!
@@NiceDudeMovieNight here's the official music video🔥🤩🔥👉 czcams.com/video/JAU8JdLKk9g/video.html
I like how the message of the scroll isn't just "believe in yourself", but it's also about how you can't take shortcuts to greatness.
The red panda that can’t believe a normal panda could be the dragon warrior
YOU GUYS HAVE ABSOLUTELY GOT TO WATCH KUNG FU PANDA 2 AND 3
The best series of lines in this movie is the characters reading the dragon scroll for the first time, the scroll being reflective. Po says "It's blank" as in unsure of what it will become. Tai Lung says "It's nothing" as in hollow and empty.
Kung Fu Panda is prolly the best example of a movie whose sequel is just as good, if not better. It is *incredibly* hard to determine if the second movie beats the first. It's definitely bigger, and deeper, and gives us more about the main character (as a good sequel should). Also, the cast in the second movie is just as stellar as the first. If you haven't seen it yet, I don't wanna spoil it, because it'd be great seeing you figure out who's who. Definitely do it, guys.
I like how the reaction of the Chinese is basically, “We love pandas and kung fu. Why didn’t we make this?”
recommending "hoodwinked", "racing stripes", "flushed away", "the boxtrolls", "the dark crystal" (reboot series and film), "mowgli: legend of the jungle", "watership down" (reboot series), "the book of life", "kubo and the two strings" and "a monster in paris"
I love how Seth Rogen voices the badass superspeed Mantis. You all have GOT to watch The Legends of The Furious Five. It actually taught me a lot more about certain values and how they're connected.
For real!! I also loved the secret of the scrolls( If I remember it’s canon to the franchise) and I was really surprised by how the furious five meet each other and how Po start to love kung fu.
Accident or Destiny? 😂
I’m very glad they dropped the original idea for this film of being more a king fu parody w/ Po becoming cocky after being titled “Dragon Warrior”. Basically Shrek again, but Kung Fu themed.
Kung Fu Panda was the first movie I saw on premiere day. The sequels are great too and this and How to Train Your Dragon remain my favorite DreamWorks movie series.
9:00 and the mantis is Seth Rogen.😅😂
This is basically an animated version of old Sammo Hung movies like "The Magnificent Butcher"
Fun fact about The Furious Five. Their species and specific fighting styles are based on the real martial art styles of Mantis Style, Monkey Style, Viper Style, Crane Style, and Tiger Style.
Yes, and Tai Lung is a snow leopard, which have been revered in Chinese culture for thousands of years.
Is it weird that I was just as hyped for the movie as I was seeing the clip of Jack and the Saxaboom?
Love the content and I hope to see you guys react to Madagascar series soon ish
That was C-Low Green singing at the end.
I think a lot of people when they saw this movie the first time didn't care about Tai Lung except as a cool character because of the action, which can change on a re-watch, and looking at things from a different perspective. Tai Lung is a warrior who didn't deserve the treatment he got, he grew up thinking he'd become this legendary warrior if he only trained hard enough, and was disciplined enough, to learn everything he could, plus Shifu filled his head with dreams, pushed him in training, promising him that they would all come true if he hones his skills and abilities to the very limits, but when Oogway said NO, Tai Lung's world crumbled because it turns out that he had been struggling for so many years for nothing. He was furious and must have walked to the village because he was completely lost, or else he was telling everyone before how he was going to become a Dragon Warrior, and when he didn't become what he said he would become, maybe someone in the village angered him very easily, he was on the edge of snapping out of anger when he was rejected without an explanation, he just knew he wasn't good enough in Oogway's opinion. Later he spends twenty years in prison, immobilized, he finds out that someone is good enough, and then later he finds out that someone is good enough but is not trained, and disciplined nowhere near his level, Tai Lung is even more disappointed by seeing what was chosen instead of him. Now we don't know if Tai Lung rested at all on the way to the valley, but it seemed that he didn't, and at the end of the fight when he took the scroll and found out that what he was looking for was not written on some paper as he was led to believe, his tiredness finally caught up with him, and Po used his fat to win literally, and used this crazy move which he did not deserve, what's worse, there is no explanation or hint as to why he would know how to do this he just realized how the move works (That's what I dislike most about the movie of all things). So Po kills this tortured warrior in the end, and if you ask me, Tai Lung did not deserve such treatment, and I believe he could of gone in a better direction if anyone cared, and gave an actual chance, but no everything revolves around Po.
All 3 of these films are some of my favorite. So hilarious.
Never thought I'd live to see the day you guys see this movie!
It was a big hit with the kids at my elementary school, and we had it as one of our movie nights!
All of the cast consists of endangered or uncommon species, which is something I've always loved. Tai Lung, for example, is a snow leopard whose habitats are threatened and are the target of poachers. Since they live in high altitude areas, Tai Lung was already innately able to escape Chorgam Prison with ease had it not been for the chains.
Master Oogway is a Galapagos Tortoise! The high-end life span of these creatures is over 100 years!
Love you guys! You guys should try and do an all-timer like ‘No Country for Old Men’ or maybe ‘The Shining’ next. Maybe the new Mad Max if you guys have watched those two already? Either way love the channel
Wait a minute. I've just noticed when po gets picked as the dragon warrior his dad just opened the door making everything po did pointless 😂😂😂
I remember seeing this in the theaters when I was 7 and I loved the hell of it its also one my dad's favorite movies
I love this movie, and James Hong is just the icing on the cake.
Can’t believe this movie came out almost 15 years ago. I remember watching it in theaters with my mom and when the credits rolled, I thought that this was one of greatest movies I’ve ever seen. Also, now that I’m in college, I’ve realized how inspiration the song Kung Fu Fighting is
Part 2 is, in my opinion, the best of the series!
I love how much you love what you’re watching. It makes it so enjoyable for the rest of us! Great movie, great reaction as always : )
Glad to see that Papa Franku is still being refrenced to this day!
You guys are awesome! Loved this
I forgot how golden this movie was.
This is the best kung fu fighting movie ever. I love that Jack Black, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen and David Cross are in the movie, delicious foods, funniest moments and awesome kung fu fighting scenes
🐼🐍🐯🐵🐢🐲🔥🔥🔥🍜🍜🍜🤣🤣🤣
should do the other 2. It is a solid trilogy.
lollll the Napoleon dynamite clip in the AG ad. Love it
It was actually from Benchwarmers ;) same actor, though!
Kung fu Panda and How to Train your dragon is PEAK Dreamworks.
You guys awakened Filthy Frank Batsu games from my subconscious with that firework chair reference. I know what I'm watching after this
Confused
HOW HAS CHRIS NOT SEEN THIS MASTERPIECE
Gotta watch the sequels now. Both amazing.
Maybe try HTTYD series as well.
As to doing the rest of the franchise, one has not lived, until one has seen Gary Oldman as a peacock!
Great reaction! The second one is my favorite, hope you guys eventually get around to watching that one
Accented Cinema did a fascinating video essay on this movie... worth a watch.
it was cee lo green singing the song at the end. Man, ya'' gotta watch the rest of the movies!! the second movie is DOPE!!!
Bro, the Nickelodeon series of this was my childhood.
BTW, that was Cee-Lo Green singing Kung Fu Fighting during the credits
Totally watch all of them they are so good!!!😊
Xiran Jay Zhao made a video analysing the Chinese cultural and philosophical inspirations in the movie and one of the things she talks about is how Shifu represents Confucianism (which focuses on control) and Oogway represents Taoism (which focuses on going with the flow of the universe) and the contrast between the two philosophies is best shown during the peach tree scene before Oogway dies
I dont know about the others, but Kung Fu Panda 2 actually lived up to the awesomeness of 1. These vids are so much fun. Thanks for some cheer, Nice Guys.
Just found my new fav reaction channel!
I'm a bit disappointed you skipped the "I'm not hungry" line. Po eats when he's sad, and he's been bullied so much throughout his life that he eats constantly. Now, for the first time in a long time, he feels proud of himself and happy with who he is. He's realized that he doesn't need food to replace good feelings.
Funny - Kung-Fu Panda was released in 2008
When World of Warcraft released Mists of Pandaria in 2012 many people accused them of just stealing wholesale from Dreamworks, not realizing that Pandaren have been a part of the Warcraft universe since 2002...
Another couple of funny Kung Fu movies are "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" and "Kung Phooey". The first actually has scenes from classic kung fu films that have been cleverly dubbed over to help tell the story, and the second is more of an "Austin Powers" kind of spoof to kung fu movies too! 😊
Can't wait to see your reaction for Kung Fu Panda 2 !
I forgot how amazing the combat animation was in this film lol
u guys gotta watch part 2 and 3! the 3 together are a great trilogy
I’ve seen this movie a dozen times and I loved watching your commentary. Kung-Fu Panda 2!
Finally.. a worthy channel.. their reaction will be legendary!
All of these movies are gold.
Perfect way to start the week. Thanks guys!
Thank YOU for watching!
@@NiceDudeMovieNight You guys should review The Goonies or Encino Man next, if you have not seen them yet. Ride the coattails of the Oscars and help your algorithm.
To be able to see this for the first time again. Im jealous.
I remember when I first saw this. I was training to train others in suicide intervention. It had let out for the evening and since I was in a hotel far from home I didn't have much to do, but there was a theater nearby. I didn't have much interest in the movie, but it was the best thing playing. I am so glad I decided to see it.
What a majestic turtle! Haha
Second film is my favorite, can’t wait!
The bunny in Po's dream that calls him attractive was voiced by Jack Black's wife.
