Summary: Exciting, Fun Action Adventure
Review: "Duel to the Death" is one of those films you either love or hate. Some are turned off by the campy action and editing (and believe me, this film makes editing look real easy) while others love the action, storyline, characters, and above all - ninjas. And yes, there ARE a lot of ninjas in this movie. Naked ninjas, ninjas that walk on water, big ninjas, ninjas that leap out of bigger ninjas, flying ninjas...the list goes on. Well what do you expect when the ninjas are the bad guys? Any way, at least the two main characters are likable enough. The final showdown as well is exciting and also leaves you with some essense of what the characters are like, rather than indiscriminantly killing off characters like some kung fu films do. One more thing: I am in love with this soundtrack. If there was any way I could get my hands on the main theme...I would be truly happy.

Summary: These kind of movies never get old!
Review: A great filck! It's about a competition between a Chinese & a Japanese samurai that doesn't go as expected. The movie is set in feudal 12th century China, it offers the usual 80's special effects with a bit of humor and wisdom. I rated it 4 stars for it's unexpected ending.. besides that it's worth adding to your video collection!

Summary: 5 Ninja Stars
Review: Any movie that features lots and lots of Ninjas in it is worth buying. This movie has armies of ninjas. Movies like the Godfather, for example, are classics....but if they had ninja assassins in it, it would be 10 times better...you all know what I'm getting at.

Summary: one of the best martial arts/ swordsplay film of all time
Review: Considering that this film was released when I was still in diapers this film was executed perfectly in every aspect. This story has it all. It has mystery, love, revenge, tragedy, and some of the best action I've seen to date. All of this is staged around one duel based on an age old rivalry to see who is the best. Will it be the Chinese or the Japanese. This is an oldschool film, but it is waaaaaaaaay ahead of it's time. It's definitely one of my favorites and I'm sure that anyone who buys this film without any expectaions except to be entertained will love this classic.

Summary: Martial Arts at it's Best
Review: Duel to the death is a stunning work filled with amazing fight scenes and a plot that will keep you interested until the end. The DVD is high quality and has very little of the wear that most films made 20 years ago tend to show. The cinematography is great and illustrates the beautiful fight scenes wonderfully. The action is centered more on sword fights rather then hand-to-hand and the movie is filled with ninjas, samurai, and warrior monks. The fight scene at the end is one of the best i've seen. Overall, Duel to the Death is great martial arts film and should be in the collection of any martial arts fan.

Summary: why duel to the death is the greatest movie ever. period.
Review: duel to the death is the greatest movie ever. why? because it is totally historically and politically incorrect. now, some of you might frown on that. oh well, this movie has ninjas flying on kites and people jumping off swords. but the most important thing about this movie is what it'll make you ask yourself. when you're through watching this movie you'll dig down into the depths of your soul to find the answer to this question: why did that guy stab himself in the foot?

Summary: I never thought it was funny
Review: I actually saw this movie at the theater when it first came out (I believe it was 1982). I saw it only once so I am writing this review from my almost 20 years old memory. This may be one of the best movies that came out in those days that helped bring HK movies to international recognition. As a martial art film the fighting scenes and special effects had broken some new grounds. The flying ninjas as well as the giant ninja that was composed of 5 or 6 female ninjas (if I remeber it right) seemed to me at that time somewhat ruined an otherwise great movie. The overly thick blood or ketchup that oozes out from the self-inflicted wound of the samurai kept bothering me for quite a while after the movie. One can't help but wonder why a movie that had apparently spent quite a good sum of money on special effects couldn't even get the blood look right.
Tsui (played Japanese, a big HK kungfu star in the 70/80s) was very good in the movie, I think he was the right choice. It was probably Lau (played Chinese)'s first action film role, I was rather suprised he was picked for the role because he looked sor t of weak in personality, but I think he played the character well (I don't know what the English version is like but the debate on Japanese and Chinese flowers really adds salt to the movie, and the two main characters do have temperament that reflect the two different flowers).
I was quite suprised that most of the reviewers here think the movie is funny, I certainly did not see its humurous side at that time. The footstabbing, well, all I thought at that time was he was showing his unyielding will even till death - the kind of strength of Japnese cherry flowers that he talked about earlier, it was also typical Japanese samurai spirit.
