This karaoke singing session apparently took place during the Penhold VS Shakehand Charity Challenge tournament last week. Here you have Wang Liqin, Wang Hao, Ma Lin, and Ma Long of the Chinese national team singing sheepishly. These guys are such superstars in their home country, but seem a little shy singing here.

This is a short directed by Eli Craig whose feature film Tucker & Dale vs Evil is about to be released (and which has gotten great reviews at the Sundance Film Festival).

I would still love to see a really well done and realistic movie about table tennis and the intricacies of the sport, especially if said movie helped increase the popularity of table tennis in the United States.

Japan has the advantage of plenty of anime and manga based on the sport because of its popularity. Maybe I need to post more of that here and try to give table tennis a little push into American pop culture.

The short video is embedded in two parts below, and can also be easily found on YouTube. It stars a few recognizable actors including Paolo Costanzo (who starred in the Friends spinoff “Joey” on NBC), and Jake Busey.

This is some fine film making and I’m really looking forward to seeing Tucker & Dale vs Evil as well. (I’ll embed a trailer from that film after Tao of Pong as well.)

I wish Balls of Fury had been as good as this.

Here is the trailer for Tucker & Dale vs Evil (which may be a little scary in parts if really little kids are watching).

He Zhi Wen was born and raised in China, currently playing for Spain’s Caja Granada Table Tennis Club. You can enjoy this video and watch a highly skilled, very athletic player… but keep in mind that he’s 47 years old now and still highly ranked. This guy is a monster, and I mean that in the best possible way.

Enjoy the foot work in this video. No wasted motion or energy. Then it’s funny because as soon as he steps away from the table he’s looks like just another average old guy.[ad#inpost bigbox]
