Ping Pong Playa
Chris is a layabout who is only interested in playing basketball with his friends until forced to take over coaching at his parents ping pong academy. Though initially using it as an opportunity to scam money out of children he turns out to have a natural talent but just a bad attitude. He does however, decide to enter the Golden Cock Tournament since his brothers wrist is injured. The movie is comedic and pokes fun at racial stereotypes with quips about Chris being the Asian who talks like a stereotypical black person even referring to his father as 'dog.' Although incredibly predictable and not a laugh a minute still entertaining throughout. Just don't expect to feel enlightened about ping pong by the end.
