Balls of Fury follows Randy Daytona, a former table tennis prodigy whose career was derailed at the 1988 Olympics after his father, who had bet on him, was killed on the orders of the mysterious Feng. Years later Randy is scraping by with low-rent shows in Nevada when an FBI agent recruits him to infiltrate an underground tournament hosted by Feng, a crime lord with a personal enthusiasm for the sport. To get close to his target, Randy must return to competitive play and work his way back into form.
The film is a comedy directed by Robert Ben Garant, who wrote the screenplay with Thomas Lennon; the two also produced alongside Roger Birnbaum and Gary Barber.

Dan Fogler leads as Randy, with Christopher Walken as Feng, George López as Agent Ernie Rodriquez, Maggie Q as Maggie Wong, James Hong as Master Wong, and Brett DelBuono as the young Randy. The credited cast numbers 28.
