Plot

Randy Daytona (Dan Fogler), a star in the world of table tennis is already making a name for himself at a young age. However, he trips and hits his head during the semi final of a 1988 ping pong tournament and unconsciously exclaims, "I'm going to Disneyland!". As a result, he is forgotten for the next 19 years. He attempts to recapture his former glory but is soon confronted by the FBI and asked to go undercover to smoke out a notorious criminal and ping-pong lord called Feng (Christopher Walken). Randy then seeks the help of a blind ping-pong sage Wong (James Hong) and his niece Maggie Wong (Maggie Q) to complete his secret mission. {{Infobox actor | name = Dan Fogler | image = | imagesize = | caption = | birthdate = [[1976 | location = Brooklyn, New York, USA | height = | deathdate = | birthname = Daniel Kevin Fogler | othername = | homepage = | notable role = William Barfée in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2005) Randy Daytona in Balls of Fury (2007) }} Dan Fogler (born 1976 in Brooklyn... “Ping Pong” redirects here. ...
