Balls of Fury

Balls of Fury is a film from a slate of obscure-sports sports movie parodies (Dodgeball, Blades of Glory), that were popular in the mid-'00s.

19 Years after a humiliating failure at the '88 Olympic Games, ping-pong prodigy Randy Daytona is eking out a living as a trick-ping-pong-artist; on the day he gets fired, he is invited by George Lopez of the FBI to be the Bruce Lee equivalent in a ping-pong themed Enter the Dragon parody: reclusive criminal overlord hosting exclusive tournament in private fortress.

Tropes used in Balls of Fury include:

"I'm trying to sacrifice my life in the name of our love, quit being such a dick!"

  • There Was a Door: Inverted. You could try to break through the armored door, but that's stupid when there's a window right next to it.
  • Training from Hell: Naturally.
  • When You Snatch the Pebble: Subverted: we never find out what lesson the cricket in James Hong's hand was meant to help impart, but it apparently wasn't "grab it as quick as you can."
  • Yellow Peril
