One of my disciple brothers, kungfu**** here on the forum, has been feeding me info on this one for some time now. It was as Sundance, if memory serves. I'm glad it's finally coming out.
Don't delete this one MK. There's more to come on it.

I just got back from hanging out with these guys, and they said it was amazing how many hate comments they got on "fred simmons" myspace after the Conan appearance. People thought it was real and demanded his school be closed down and he shouldn't be allowed to teach kids....hahahahaha. This will be an amazing movie for sure!

This flick is quite funny in a low budget way. It may hit a little too close to home in for the martial arts world, but that's its strength. I often found myself saying under my breath 'that totally nails master so-and-so (some one I know professionally)'. It's all about Danny MacBride, playing the supreme egotist master - no wonder Will Ferrell likes it. He's the king of the self-centered ******* character. I was hoping for some good belly laughs, but it really only elicited a chuckle here and there. However, it's stuck with me since I saw it. Many of the best lines, like 'Your weakness is disgusting to me' and 'I'll give you the basic right of stretching before our battle' will sound better as forum sig quotes than they sounded in the actual film. Given that, it's going to be required viewing for everyone here on the forum, just so we all have more grist for the mill to mock each other.
I'm not sure on the release date. Some sources say tomorrow. Others say it'll be on 6/6. See my Mongol post on 6/6. The Foot Fist Way will certainly be a limited release.

...It's all about Danny MacBride.
Geek Martial Arts Comedy Foot Fist Way Sweeps Into Theaters

Is the Judd Apatowian reign of fratastic films nearing an end -- or at least facing some healthy competition?
Possibly. Low-budget martial arts comedy The Foot Fist Way, which first premiered at Sundance in 2006, is poised to be the sleeper hit of the summer of 2008, thanks to a second round of screenings currently under way.
The underground film, largely forgotten after its initial run, was slipped to Hollywood heavyweights Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.
Turns out they loved it and helped the filmmaking trio, college friends Jody Hill, Danny McBride and Ben Best, get distribution with Paramount Vantage. (Keep an eye out for McBride, who has a boatload of minor cameos in films like Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder this summer.)
Now you can catch the tale of a mullet-sportin,' strip-mall taekwondo instructor by the name of Fred Simmons as he does his best to whip a gaggle of suburban moms and bratty kids into shape. The indie flick kicks delivers Napoleon Dynamite-style deadpan humor that's sure to click with fans of the British version of The Office -- it's that kind of smarmy, awkward goodness.
A slew of comedians, like Patton Oswalt, can't stop raving about film.
Oswalt wrote a glowing endorsement of the film on his blog: "I want you to go see it 'cuz it's hilarious and brilliant and if you like The Big Lebowski, Office Space, Dazed and Confused and Repo Man then you'll love The Foot Fist Way."
