Chang, a 16-year-old, Asian American, bets the high school basketball star that he can dunk by Homecoming. The bet leads 5' 8" Chang on a quest to learn to dunk—not only to impress his crush, Kristy, but to gain the respect of his high school peers too. But before he can rise up and truly throw one down, he'll have to reexamine everything he knows about himself, his friendships and his family.
Chang Can Dunk is a Family, Comedy, Drama film released in 2023.
4 subtitle releases available in English.

00:33:10,041 --> 00:33:12,500
Oh, right. Yeah, you're the kid
who wants to learn how to dunk.
661
00:33:12,583 --> 00:33:14,041
You said you were a basketball coach.
662
00:33:14,125 --> 00:33:16,625
I am. You said you were 6'0''.
663
00:33:16,708 --> 00:33:19,208
-[laughs]
-This is dumb.
664
00:33:19,291 --> 00:33:22,583
Yo, yo. Come on, man. I'm sorry, okay?
665
00:33:22,666 --> 00:33:25,333
We got off on the wrong foot.
Let's try this again.
666
00:33:26,333 --> 00:33:28,291
[clears throat] I'm Deandre Cooke.
667
00:33:28,375 --> 00:33:29,875
Chang, right?
668
00:33:29,958 --> 00:33:30,958
Yeah.
669
00:33:32,208 --> 00:33:34,583
Yeah, okay. Nice to meet you.
670
00:33:34,666 --> 00:33:37,291
So, how much height do we need?
671
00:33:44,958 --> 00:33:46,750
Just raise it back up when you're done.
672
00:33:47,375 --> 00:33:49,583
Oops. Ah. Too far.
673
00:33:52,916 --> 00:33:55,000
Now this guy here's a county legend.
674
00:33:55,708 --> 00:33:56,875
Buckets Cooke.
675
00:34:01,416 --> 00:34:02,708
You listen to him.
676
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,166
[Deandre] Thanks, Mr. J.
677
00:34:11,291 --> 00:34:12,291
Yikes. Okay.
678
00:34:12,375 --> 00:34:15,625
Well, first of all,
your jump mechanics need work.
679
00:34:15,708 --> 00:34:19,083
Right? You're not really generating
much power from here or here.
680
00:34:19,166 --> 00:34:20,958
Also, you're only bringing
the ball halfway up,
681
00:34:21,041 --> 00:34:22,375
so why are you cheating yourself?
682
00:34:22,458 --> 00:34:24,916
Full extension, okay? Let's try it.
683
00:34:29,375 --> 00:34:30,416
[Chang grunts]
684
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:33,708
-Oh, oh, oh! Holy crap!
-[Chang] Oh! That was, like, six inches!
685
00:34:33,791 --> 00:34:35,375
So, do you think I could dunk?
686
00:34:35,458 --> 00:34:37,166
-You probably still growing, right?
-Mm-hmm.
687
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:39,041
So, if you stay consistent
with your workouts,
688
00:34:39,125 --> 00:34:41,833
in about a half a year to a year,
I don't see why not.
689
00:34:41,916 --> 00:34:43,916
Uh, I need to do it in ten weeks.
690
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,375
-Say what now?
-Yeah.
691
00:34:45,458 --> 00:34:48,333
It's a long story, but if Chang can't dunk
by our last football game,
692
00:34:48,416 --> 00:34:50,000
he's gonna have to move to another school.
693
00:34:50,083 --> 00:34:52,916
I'll do anything you ask me to do.
Please. Just help me out.
694
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,333
-Ten weeks?
-Mm-hmm.
695
00:34:54,416 --> 00:34:55,833
Okay. So, let's see.
696
00:34:55,916 --> 00:34:59,125
In ten weeks, we're definitely gonna
have to do some one-on-ones.
697
00:34:59,208 --> 00:35:03,208
Uh, some weight training.
No doubt. Uh, plyo.
698
00:35:03,291 --> 00:35:05,916
-Uh, technique for sure.
-Yeah.
699
00:35:06,750 --> 00:35:08,166
-How much you paying?
-What?
700
00:35:09,416 --> 00:35:10,708
[stammers] How much--
701
00:35:10,791 --> 00:35:11,958
-What?
-Uh…
702
00:35:12,041 --> 00:35:16,000
My man, if you're trying to dunk a ball
in ten weeks, we gotta do it right. Okay?
703
00:35:16,083 --> 00:35:19,083
That means mornings, evenings,
Saturdays and Sundays.
704
00:35:19,166 --> 00:35:21,291
-I can't do all that for free.
-I don't have any money.
705
00:35:21,375 --> 00:35:23,458
What are you talking about?
I just sold you a top-shelf phone.
706
00:35:23,541 --> 00:35:25,041
Yeah, that costed all my savings.
707
00:35:25,125 --> 00:35:28,166
I'll return it, all right?
But that's all I got, all right?
708
00:35:28,250 --> 00:35:30,791
-How about that?
-Look, I'm sorry, bro. Okay?
709
00:35:30,875 --> 00:35:32,458
I really am, but I-I just can't.
710
00:35:32,541 --> 00:35:35,041
It's not gonna cut it. Okay?
711
00:35:35,958 --> 00:35:37,333
Good luck with your new school.
712
00:35:37,416 --> 00:35:38,708
[Bo] What do you shoot on?
713
00:35:39,750 --> 00:35:42,000
-I'm sorry?
-For your videos. What do you shoot on?
714
00:35:42,958 --> 00:35:45,125
-My phone.
-Your phone? Yeah.
715
00:35:45,208 --> 00:35:48,250
And then you just edit everything
on what? Let me guess, iMovie?
716
00:35:49,375 --> 00:35:52,833
Mm-hmm. Okay, so, if I were you, I'd be
investing in a gimbal at least, right?
717
00:35:52,916 --> 00:35:54,458
'Cause you've got a basketball channel.
718
00:35:54,541 --> 00:35:57,291
You're shooting everything locked down
from 30 feet back like it's 1920.
719
00:35:57,375 --> 00:35:59,375
Okay? Get us in on the action.
720
00:35:59,458 --> 00:36:01,708
All right? Don't get me started
on that fake slow-motion.
721
00:36:01,791 --> 00:36:04,166
You have to get that in-camera
with a high frame rate.
722
00:36:04,666 --> 00:36:06,833
Come on, man. Where's the mise-en-scène?
723
00:36:07,625 --> 00:36:10,958
Look here, little man.
I work hard on my videos, okay?
