some of the most dangerous 'collective' stunts in martial cinema

Shaolin Intruders 83' (an all out extravaganza of martial arts prowess, some of the most difficult and dangerous stunt work are featured in this film, great storyline as well. Pai Piao and Derek Yee are the heroes bent on unveiling an evil sect among the monks in Shaolin Temple known as the Devil's Brood. Chan Shen does fantastic as the head monk and this is probably one of Kao Fei's best roles. some of the stunts have to be seen to be believed. a must have film. Now, this DVD release is a bit of a let down in only one department no english dubbs. They exist and are very well done, but were not included on this release. Great choice for R1 release anyway. Awesome film.

Another great Shaw release from Image!

Made by revered choregrapher, Tang Chia, during the final years of Shaw Brothers, this one delivers the goods. During 1983, Tang Chia shot (as far as I know) three classics ~ "Shaolin Prince" a.k.a. "Iron Fingers of Death", starring everyone from this movie; "Opium and the Kung fu Master"-that one has Ti Lung reprising his role from "Ten Tigers of Kwangtung", as well as co-starring director Tang (great end fight) & this movie. Can't understand why Ti Lung wasn't in this one, but it still manages to be great.

Great chemistry between Derek Yee & Pai Piao, great performance by Li Hai-Sheng as the brutal discipline monk, Kuan Feng proves again he can make any weapon look good, Ku Feng (despite being up there in age at this point) is still able to get his fu on. Plus, I did not expect that twist at the end involving Kao Fei & Chan Shen. Look for the samurai warrior in "Super Ninjas" to appear here as a renegade monk. While this movie has some great fu (especially at the end) thanks to Tang Chia, Li Hai-Sheng & Chang Chuan, a moving finale & a Shaw Brothers gloss to it, there is some lame wire work. However, it can be overlooked since it's not overused, and this movie was made in 1983.

As far as the DVD goes, Image steps up to the plate yet again; awesome widescreen picture, original Mandarin soundrack with remastered subtitles, not much by way of special features but the movie presentation makes up for that. BTW, no offense but to all those people who complain about it NOT having an English dub...please, shut up, OK?

Gotta love it!

Being a true fan of martial arts cinema as so many of you out there are, it's a fairly simple thing to say that old-school Shaw Bros. movies are just simply the best! Better than all the rest! Image dvd has another great quality flic for us with some not so familiar faces. Lot's of wire work (which I absolutely love)but not flying necessarily, ton's of action which almost never lets up, some new weapons like a collapsible sword, gauntlet daggers, and giant dice on a rope? For fans who love shaolin themes there is plenty of monk action with outlandish test formations. Picture quality is superb! Sound is 2.1 or orig mono. Not a lot of blood. If you liked the others from this series why wouldn't you like this?
