"A movie within a movie, created to spoof the martial arts genre. Writer/director Steve Oedekerk uses contemporary characters and splices them into a 1970s kung-fu film, weaving the new and old together." Kung Pow
Oedekerk acquired the rights to this relatively obscure film and envisioned a groundbreaking comedy. He and his team meticulously rotoscoped (traced over) characters from the original footage, digitally removing them and replacing them with himself or new backgrounds, essentially creating a new movie from the bones of the old one. This process was incredibly labor-intensive. In an interview, Oedekerk noted that, due to the extensive digital work, Kung Pow ended up having more effects shots than Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace , albeit with a very different goal: "to make it look like an old crappy movie". He further explained that "every single shot in the film had to go digital," involving up-res-ing, down-res-ing, and over 600 regular effects shots for elements like the "fighting baby" and "fighting cow".
