"Shaolin Soccer" is a Stephe Chiao production. Zhou Xingzhi for the Chinese speakers out there. He directed and starred in this over the top outlandish satire of the kung-fu genre. He is a comic genious of the lowbrow sort. In China he's bigger than Jim Carey. "God of Cookery" is probably his best work. "King of Comedy" is a surprisingly good romantic comedy. "Chinese Odyssey" is his most popular work among most Chinese but it is a satirical version of a famous work of literature "Journey To The West" aka "Tales Of The Monkey King" and much of the humor is lost on westerners not intimately acquainted with the tale.

If there is a "Shaolin Soccer II" you need to see of it is Stephen Chiao, because otherwise it will be a waste of your time. Most likely an incredibly boring sequel capitalizing on the concept of the original but not much else. Most Chinese sequels tend to have little or nothing to do with the original. "Drunken Master" is a chop socky Shaw Brother's era flick with bad dubbing that you may have seen on Black belt Theatre. "Drubken Master II" aka "The Legend of Drunken Master" is related to the first one only in that it also stars Jakie Chan.

Good Luck.
