What happens
Kung Fu Dunk (traditional Chinese: 功夫灌籃; simplified Chinese: 功夫灌篮; pinyin: Gōngfū Guànlán), also known by its former title Slam Dunk, is a 2008 Chinese-language action comedy film. It was directed by Taiwanese director Kevin Chu and filmed in Taiwan and mainland China. The film was previously titled Slam Dunk, but the title was later changed to avoid confusion with the Slam Dunk manga and anime series which it was roughly based on despite the film itself having no association whatsoever. The filming, however, conveyed a strong flavour of Hong Kong films, reminiscent of movies like Shaolin Soccer. It features a list of pop stars from Taiwan and Hong Kong, along with well-known actors of Mainland China. In 2008, the theme song "周大俠" (Hero Chou), which was composed by Jay Chou (who also stars) with lyrics by Vincent Fang and performed by Yi Chuan, was nominated for Best Original Song at the 45th Golden Horse Awards, which is included as a bonus track on Jay Chou 2007 World Tour Concert Live.
