Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Solid Movie
Review: A good solid Kung Fu Movie - a monk finds and trains 5 young men
and in doing so knows that they will have to meet eventually
with a group of kung fu baddies planning to destroy Shaolin. The
downfall of the movie is using wires. It would have been a far
better movie if they didn't use the wires.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Silly movie, good but misused cast.
Review: A typical "bumpkin" comedy with a story that is basically a Chinese martial arts version of "The Dirty Dozen". Most of the ensemble cast is skilled, acrobatic and fast (particularly Mark Long and villain Jack Long). Disappointing finale emphasizes goofy acrobatics over technique.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 5 on 1: how fair is that?
Review: Five fighters all with differents attributes are taken in as students by an alcoholic, angry monk (mark Long). He trains them in there own specialties so that they can be ready to battle a band of tyrants led by there white hair wizard master (Jack Long). Good practice and fight sequences and a surprisingly entertaining story line, including a great rendission of "this ol man."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kung Fu anyone?
Review: Hello... no, i think i know what eveyones thinking, "just another dull kung fu movie," and "wheres Bruce Lee." Well clear those crab brained mind sets and get ready for the greatest action adventure ever to take place on your TV screen. Watch as the 5 young Kung Fu students learn from the drunk, yet wise, shaolin master, in an array of training sequences that will leave you breathless and asking for more. It also includes the famous "message in a box" kick, that is the most well known scene from all of Kung Fu movies. These masters move so fast that they appear to be flying around the screen, that they'll make your head spin resulting in American Throw Up, Constantly!

Summary: 5 Fighters go home
Review: I ppurchased this movie because I am a Jack Long fan. After ,viewing five minutes of the film I thought that I was in for a bonus when I saw the "6th student" from the Venom movies(his only non-shaw brothers film and his last film before his death). 20 no, 15 minutes after watching the movie I was disgusted with it,too many wires no authenthic Kung-fu styles,I could nto believe that Jack and Mark would play in a movie like this .In fact it bothered me so much that I did some research and found that this film was made in a time when the period piece Kung-fu movies were on their way out the door and the ones that were being made at the time were gimmicky and used more wire/camera tricks then authenthic acrobactics. The thing that I found most interesting was that It was also the first movie that the Long brothers had done without Joeseph Kuo from the "7 Grandmasters",and "World of the Drunken masters" fame. I think it was a shame these two actors were great in their time ,unfortunately their time was short . Don't buy this one please pass ....please

Summary: I expected more
Review: The box art looks real good, but I have never really taken to those old-school "comedic/slapstick" kung-fu movies. The fighting here is good, but not special. Jack Long has appeared in "7 Grandmasters" and "36 Deadly Styles," both two tiers above this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: simply the best!!!!
Review: This is without a doubt, the greatest kung fu movie ever! The action is fantastic, and the training sequences are long and quite inventive. This movie has a great cast of likeable heroes, and impressive villains that all fight like kung fu superheroes. The master is the greatest character in movie history, and is not someone you would want to mess with. This is one of the first kung fu flicks i saw, and it still is my favorite. Everyone needs to see this movie at least once, so dont let the dull box discourage you, pick up this lost gem today!!!!....END
