Po quotes from Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024)

View Quote Perhaps you know me better as... the Kung Fu Panda!

View Quote Tigress is taking on the free-range chicken gang. Monkey's hot on the trail of the missing macaque. Crane was crowned King of the Crocodilians. Long story. Viper's wrapping up peace talks between the cobras and the mongooses. Or is it mongeese? And Mantis? Well, he's just trying to keep his blushing bride from biting his h'ead off. Just because they're not here in person doesn't mean they're not here as life-sized cut-outs. Now who wants a picture?

View Quote [Po is signing autographs to the villagers, when...]
Master Shifu: [off-screen] Po!
[They all see Master Shifu, who is sternly at Po.]
Po: Master Shifu! [gives him an autograph] Here, let me just… There, that’s much… worse.
Master Shifu: [deadpan] We have to talk.
Po: Absolutely. Let’s talk. Right after the ceremony. Let’s go! [hurries off with the villagers, leaving Shifu]
Master Shifu: Ceremony? What ceremony?

View Quote [While Po is getting some photos, one villager gets one with Master Shifu in it. Shifu growls in frustration.]
Po: He really captured your disapproving scowl.
Master Shifu: We need to talk. [jumps off him] Now. [snatches his staff from the villager and walks off]
Po: Hey, can I get one of those in a wallet size?
Master Shifu: [off-screen] Po!
Po: [runs off after him] Coming.

View Quote Po: Look, I appreciate the promotion, I think i’m just gonna stick to this whole “dragon warrior thing”.
Master Shifu: Dragon warrior thing? What is it that you’re holding?
Po: A cookie?
Master Shifu: Other hand.
Po: The staff of wisdom?
Master Shifu: [Slaps the cookie from Po] It was given to you by Master Oogway, Do you really think it was so you could open a restaurant? [Po tries to pick the cookie up but master shifu slides it away] Or pose for pictures?
Po: He wasn’t super specific.
Master Shifu: Oogway entrusted you with that staff so you could follow in his footsteps and become something better than you already are.

View Quote Master Shifu: This is an honor. Oogway chose you as his successor, and now you much choose yours.
Po: Master Shifu I already found something i’m good at and now you want to just take it away from me?
Master Shifu: No one is taking anything away, Po. Who you are will always be a part of what you become.
Po: Yeah, but where’s the “skadoosh”, you know what I mean? The “shasha-booie? I don’t want to seem ungrateful but I don’t know anything about passing on wisdom or inspiring hope. All I know are two things! Kicking butt, and taking names! And if I’m being completely honest I’m not even that good at the name taking. Like who was that fire breathing crocodile? I wanna say Steve…
Master Shifu: You were chosen to bring peace to the valley, and there are other ways to bring peace than simply "kicking butt".

View Quote Zhen: Just tell me one thing. How did someone like you become the Dragon Warrior?
Po: That's a mystery for you to solve during your two-year stay at the Valley of Peace prison.
Zhen: "Valley of Peace" prison? [blows raspberry] Sounds like a day care.
Po: It is a day care on the weekends. But it's also a prison.

View Quote Tai Lung: Panda. Oogway made a mistake choosing you as the Dragon Warrior. I just didn't realize how big a mistake it was until now.
Po: Whoa. Tai Lung? I'm gonna get that staff back, restore your kung fu, and return you all back to the Spirit Realm. You'll see.
Tai Lung: [coldly] All I see… is a broken promise.

View Quote Po: I believe you have something that belongs to me.
The Chameleon: Can't you even die right?
Po: Can't you even kill wrong? No. [chuckles] Wordplay didn't come together. Now, about that staff…
The Chameleon: [immediately flings the Staff of Wisdom back to Po, who looks confused] Take it. I already have everything I need from it anyway. I think this was destiny. A final face-off between formidable adversaries, alike in so many ways.
Po: If only I had a dumpling for every time a villain told me how much we had in common...
The Chameleon: It's true. We've both risen to the highest of heights. It's a shame only one of us can come out on top.
Po: It is a shame - for you!
The Chameleon: My combined powers of sorcery and kung fu make me unstoppable. And once I dispense with you, I'll expand my rule from Juniper City to--
Po: "... every other city and town and village, from here to the Valley of Peace and beyond." Yeah, I know!
The Chameleon: What? How did you know?
Po: I saw it in a vision. Cause I'm the Dragon Warrior.
[The Chameleon raises an eyebrow]
Po: For now, at least. But... I've realized that it's probably time I made a change. And so should you.
The Chameleon: I'm the Chameleon; I do nothing but change!
Po: Only on the outside. Real change happens from within. And if we're really as alike as you say, then maybe we can both let go of who we were and become something better than we already are? What do you say?
The Chameleon: I say... [suddenly shapeshifts into Lord Shen and kicks Po across the room]
Tai Lung: [watching from his cage] Well, I saw that coming.
Voice of Master Shifu: We’re very proud of you.
Voice 2: You tried it our way.
Voice 1: Now try it yours.
Po: I’m way ahead of you!

View Quote Tai Lung: [finally respecting Po after defeating Chameleon and restoring his and every master's kung fu] Maybe Oogway was right about you. [Po looks at him in surprise] You aren't completely useless after all.
Po: Oh, my gosh, thank you so much. [Tai Lung and the other kung fu masters bow down, showing their respect of Po]

View Quote Shifu: [spits his tea out in shock] HER?! Out of all the candidates you'd choose to train as your worthy successor, you chose the FOX?!
Po: You know when you know, you know?
Shifu: [frustrated] Fine, choose who you want! A thief, a stick, a carrot! I don't even know why I bother! I'm going to go meditate... a LOT!

View Quote [During the credits, Po and Zhen are in the training hall]
Po: Are you ready to begin your training?
Zhen: Are you?
Po: Yes, and I brought a little help.
[The Furious Five appear as Tenacious D's ...Baby, One More Time begins to play]
Zhen: [amazed] Whoa!
