Invincible is Incredible
I bought the 8 Diagram Pole Fighter not expecting much. It has shown on a few enthusiasts lists, but its limited availability left many newer kung fu enthusiasts not knowing its splendor. I literally tacked it onto my Amazon order as an afterthought from a marketplace vendor cheap. What I was treated to was a super fast paced, superbly choreographed spear and pole movie that kept me absorbed ...

Very Good
Has fun comedy scenes but there are some grisly moments when the killer attacks. Great fight sequences and an entertaining and interesting application of Yuen Biao's "washing" style.

us fu fans need to get together and get rid of groundzero
I still had to give it 5 stars cause the movie is so damn good. But it is really sad how bad they messed this one up. Most of the fights can be seen clearly, but I have the red sun version of this and it INSTANLY became one of my favorites ever. So if you are like me and see this thing for 3.99 at the used store then I highly suggest picking it up, but then again if you are a movie fan at all ...

What style of Kung Fu is this?!
Oh man! This is one of my all-time fave Kung Fu films. I remember rushing home from my paper delivery route so that I could enjoy the brutal and mind-blasting Kung Fu action-blast that was known as "Action Kung Fu Theatre" on Buffalo 29. This was in the early eighties before uptight network executives sold every last minute of air time to infomercials and dull reality television shows. If you ...

BLACK MAGIC DELIVERS SHOCKS AND SHIVERS
I was shocked and delighted at this incredibly entertaining and bizarre spectacle that goes way over the top but in some weird way also seems restrained. I'm not into blood and gore or the recent glut of Cinema de Sadism, but this retro classic does not flinch from the story it's telling. Not for all tastes. Actually, on second thought, it's probably not for most tastes. The print ...

Gun and swordplay madness
Alan Tang plays Black Panther, a mercenary who gets hired by Melvin Wong to retrieve evidence from the police station. He brings all of his mercenary friends along on the mission and this is a very strange bunch. One guy always has to have a passifier in his mouth or he acts like a baby. Tony Leung Ka Fai's character goes insane whenever a woman speaks Mandarin. This movie is so childish that ...

Not one of Chang Cheh's best, but enjoyable for fans of Lily Li and David Chiang
David Chiang stars as the Wandering Swordsman and robs from the rich and gives to the poor. He comes across Lily Li and saves her from possible death. Her brother runs an escort service and Chiang gets tricked into heisting the treasure they are carrying. Now he has to fight all of the guards of the escort service and retrieve the treasure from the thieves to prove his innocence. While ...

Quite good for fans of Stuart Whitman.
The print is excellent but what makes this DVD worth purchasing is the audio commentary. The uncredited director Monte Hellman offers some insight into the trouble bound production. Stuart Whitman's commentary is recorded in a hotel room and is not as clear as I would have liked,though his stories are fascinating.

Image Entertainment with a perfect release of a spectacular Shaw Brothers Wuxia movie from 1979
The movie opens with a duel between Ti Lung and Chan Wai Man. Ti Lung has a special technique where he pierces his opponent's shoulder blade and the tip of his sword is always left behind. Chan Wai Man manages to escape and goes to see a doctor played by Ku Feng. Ku Feng seems like a good doctor, but there is a lot more to him than meets the eye. He is changing Chan Wai Man into a different ...

Great Old School Actioner
For those waiting decades (literally) to get a remastered and widescreen version of this film and with the original English dubs, this is so far the one to get. One important thing though, is the Celestial Pictures remastered version, even though only with subtitles, the picture and audio quality is much better. You will notice the difference if you have both versions and watch them side by side. ...

Strong performances, story & action
White Lotus Cult is the first of three films to feature the character of 'Iron Bridge' Sam, a folk-hero figure similar to the character played by Jet Li in the Fong Sai Yuk series. Here Sam gets trained in martial arts, finds time for a little romance and does battle with the 'Cult' of the title. All the lead actors give strong, well-rounded performances making you care about their charcters. The ...

A complete waste of time
If you manage to stay awake this whole movie, you are a real kung fu fan. The story has something about the Dragon Sword master getting killed. The movie is mainly mindless talking, with some fight scenes mixed in. The fight are ok at times, but nothing special. The only reason I wanted to watch this was because I saw that Michael Chan Wai Man is in the cast. And just my luck, he doesn't ...

Very Good
Though not as good as David Chiang's "Shaolin Mantis", "Slice of Death" is quite good. The training sequences and fights aren't believable but enjoyable. I recommend this after you've seen better choices like: "Executioners From Shaolin", "Shaolin Master Killer", "Invincible Pole Fighter", "Shaolin Mantis", "Fists of the White Lotus", and "Five Deadly Venoms".

Over the top
"Run and Kill" is yet another one of those Hong Kong Category III films I seek out whenever possible. I wrote awhile go something to the effect that these sorts of films aren't coming out anymore since the Chinese took over from the British. I'm not sure I can confirm that statement, although it does seem peculiar that every Category III film I've seen came out in the early 1990s. If you aren't ...

I can't believe that there is no review on this awesome movie. I bought this flick at a pathmark. it's old school at it's absolute best. plenty of back in the woods fast action fighting with lots of technigue. its by videoasia but picture quality n sound very decent.I'm warning you collectors you'll be cheating yourself big time if you don't get this one.

Two movies: One superb, one awful. Split the difference
This two-disc re-release has been out for nearly a year, but hasn't received a proper review yet. So here goes: Both of the films on offer were released separately by Anchor Bay several years ago. Both went out of print as individual releases, but Anchor Bay put them back into print by repackaging them together -- presumably to move stock, but also to do latecomers to the world of DVD a ...
