Summary: Crazy name but lame movie
Review: I thought i would take a gamble on this movie. I gambled wrong. I have no idea what the other guy saw to give it five stars. The quality of this movie was atrocious and the kung fu was really sub par. If your looking for a good movie to chill out and watch with some friends try: Master Killer, Fist of the white lotus, 18 fatal strikes or if you can find a copy of Mystery of chess boxing then your in for a real treat. >Peace

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Alright movie, Great DVD
Review: Ok, while if I were simply reviewing the movie it would be more like 2 stars. Some good fight scenes, and a cliche and over-used story. However, the special features are where the DVD really shines. The actor bio's being a definate favorite. For each of the three main actors, there are 5 different clips of fight scenes from their respective other movies. Unfortunately the video quality is terrible, it seems to be ripped right off a vhs copy (not even a super-vhs master...). The audio isn't in as bad of shape as the video, but it seems they didn't clean it up at all. The dubbing is pretty bad, but hilarious at times, with lines such as, "I like to do it in the dark". For having purchased it at the low price of 8 bucks, I'd say it's definately worth around that. If not only for the bad dialogue and great extras, then for the last fight in the movie. A really good 2 versus 1 featuring most of the styles that are performed in the rest of the movie. Overall, if you're a hardcore martial arts fan and don't care about video quality or story, definately check it out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An amazing film!
Review: This film stars Chi Kuan Chun,the star of countless Shaw Bros. classics.It has a great variety of styles.The technical aspects are terrific.only minor complaint is that it's full screen.It is in 5.1 sound though.A very rare film.The extra features are amazing also.Highly recommended,along with the Wu Tang Clan's other releases like Shaolin Drunkard and Kung Fu of 8 Drunkards.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Dont buy it but rent it
Review: This movie was very boring until the last fight scene. Which is why I gave it 3 stars. The final fight scene alone I think was worth the purchase, but I think you should rent it first and decide yourself. The last fight lasts about 15 min and is great because the fighters anounce their styles. They use cobra style, tiger style, tiger claw style, panther style ,rattle snake style and various other styles. Some styles even have a sound of that respective animal. Like when he uses the panther style, you can hear panthers roar. The final fight scene also includes a lot of trash talking which I like. Video was crappy. Some frames were either all black..or all green. I recommend you rent this movie, and fast forward to last fight.
