As it would turn out, the sequel to Stephen Chow's Hong Kong sports/kung-fu/comedy film Shaolin Soccer is going to be about a girl playing lacrosse. That's right, lacrosse. But, it's Shaolin lacrosse! Anyhoo, our bloggin' homies at AsianPopcorn have pointed us in the direction of this first Japanese trailer for Shaolin Girl. Enjoy.
Shaolin Girl Trailer:
Shaolin Girl (or Shorin Shojo) is produced by Shoalin Soccer director Stephen Chow (who also directed Kung Fu Hustle) and stars Shibasaki Ko who plays a girl returning to Japan after undergoing nine years of training in order to take over her grandfather’s Shaolin kung-fu dojo in China and ends up helping out a sport science university’s lacrosse team. Chow regulars Lam Tze Chung and Kai Man Tin are lined up to appear. Shaolin Girl is slated for a late 2008 release.
