In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Kung Pow” is a rare card of the Memes World series 76, number 22707 of the collection, and the 91st best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Kung Pow” meme mean?
The meme uses hyperbole to mock serious martial arts tropes. By labeling an overtly ridiculous fight scene as the ultimate cinematic masterpiece, it expresses playful sarcasm. It is often invoked to mock solemn debates about great action movies, or to bring humor into minor disagreements by comparing them to an over-the-top, goofy clash.
Where does the “Kung Pow” meme come from?
The imagery stems from Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, a 2002 spoof written, directed by, and starring Steve Oedekerk. The comedy mixed original footage with scenes taken from the 1976 Hong Kong flick Tiger and Crane Fists. Its standout moment features the Chosen One battling a CGI kung fu cow, complete with slow-motion parodies. While the precise creator of the text presenting this fight as cinema’s greatest duel is not documented, the joke became an enduring staple among internet comedy fans.
