Charlie and Tony

Tony and his adopted brother Charlie are martial art enthusiasts that love competing in local tournaments to win trophies. They might be young, but they're also talented and passionate. Their rich father, Michael, seems like a nice guy, but he leads a secret life as a cold blooded killer that robs banks for gold!
Michael's latest heist involves stealing the keys to a vault full of gold, and then imprinting the keys onto a plastic pizza. Each of his associates get a piece of the pizza, so that no one can access the gold without everyone bringing their slices together... Yeah, it's as bonkers as it sounds, and it's only just begun.



When one of Michael's men gets cold feet about being a criminal he is killed for his slice of the pizza, but the man's daughter, Annie, escapes with the piece to a family friend. The friend is David, and to keep Annie safe he takes her to the house of his old war buddy who just happens to be Michael. Oh, shit! What a twist!

"Get that damn pizza!" - Michael

After David is injured fighting with Michael's muscle goons (led by the great Bolo Yueng) there is no one left to protect Annie and her piece of the pizza. Except, as you can likely guess, Charlie and Tony are eager to jump into action and take on the bad guys themselves. But first they'll need an epic training montage! Sipping cold beers, David teaches the boys all he knows, but can anything prepare them for the truth about their father?

David

Michael

Basically every single aspect of the movie is hilariously bad, except for the fight scenes which are put together with some skill and energy. Everything else is a fascinating disaster of awkwardness and cheese, which is very entertaining. The story moves along at a fast pace despite the plot holes, illogical scenes and random ideas thrown in for no reason. I wasn't distracted by any of the glaring mistakes though, because I was too busy laughing at all the freewheeling nonsense and goofiness.
It feels like a movie that was never proof read, and that "who cares" attitude only adds to its charm.

Montages are thirsty work

Be sure not to miss:
- Bolo Yueng disguised as an old granny.
- Michael adopted Charlie as an orphan from the Vietnam war... And he named him Charlie!!!?
- Sixteen year old boys having a bar fight with two little people is an actual scene in this movie.
- Harry
- Why were those ducks wearing hats?
