No time to write a whole article for you, sorry. But a few points then...
Ok some of this are kind of spoilers, but I will try to kinda' encrypt it a tiny little bit...
1. There is a very old master, well, a green one. Did you notice what happen to him when he dies? Who does he remind you of?
2. The relationship between the old master, Shifu and Tai long, what does it remind you of? A The great student who becomes evil? (The story seems to be a kind off mix between the Luke-Vader plot in Star Wars and some Kung-fu films like Tai Chi Master)
3 When Tai long escapes his prison, the scenography of the bridges falling is almost exactly copied in detail from when the Fellowship tries to escape the Balrog in Moria.
4. Soft method wins the battle. Taiji wins in Shaolin Soccer?
5. "There is no spoon." ...
There are more... Later if I have time maybe I will make effort to write down.
My favorite scene, btw, is the "food fight" between Po and Shifu. That one is like an homage (or tribute) to Kwan Tak-Hing.
Again, I think it's a good, funny and very entertaining flick. If the creators had had some kind of original ideas as well, it would have become an instant classic.
