Summary: Angela?s dance on DVD
Review: Congratulations! The producers of this DVD got somehow hold of the Chinese spoken original print of this movie which seems to be undamaged at all after all those years!It?s a surprise since other releases of Crash Cinema like CRIPPLED AVENGERS or DUEL OF THE SHAOLIN FIST were rather poor on DVD.Superb picture and clarity and the movie?s original Chinese and English subtitles on the print itself.Perfect for all the fans around!The movie itself is a rather typical average Kung Fu comedy from the late seventies with some often-seen-before gag clich?s. It stars Angela Mao Ying who does her best to save the movie. By it is rather known that Jackie Chan served as a director of the martial arts choreography since he is a friend of director Chen Chi-Hua (not the director enlisted by amazon, sorry!) with whom he worked at Lo Wei?s Film Company in the seventies. And so his best movie to date is in fact one of the movies he did with Jackie Chan, SNAKE AND CRANE ARTS OF SHAOLIN.Greetings, Oliver Sodemann, Germany

Review: If you are a fan of Angela Mao Ying this is the DVD to get. It features a number of innovative training and fighting scenes which lead up to a spectacular conclusion. We owe the films great action scenes to Angela's art of Kung Fu and also the great Martial Arts Director Jackie Chan.

This Kung Fu fable is a must see and certainly one you should add to your collection. Enjoy.

Summary: Serious or Comedy?
Review: It had a very poor beginning. I'm into Martial Art movies -but only the serious ones. The type where there is serious anger being let out in fighting. Well don't expect that from this movie. Expect a bit of dumb jokes, dorky fighters, and a waste of time. However towards the end, when the movie finally picks up. The choreagraphy is excellent and the fighting is superb. Rent this movie first because its a tough decision.

Summary: Angela has comedic potential
Review: This is one of her last efforts - and it might be her best. As usual, she's cute as can be, as she delivers lethal leg kicks to the baddies. Her efforts to enlist the aid of two old martial arts experts in her training are hilarious. In the final scene she dances her way to victory - one sexy number. The only fault I can find is that when she dresses as a boy, she's too pretty to be believable.

Summary: Slapstick and Kung-Fu.
Review: Very funny Angela Mao vehicle. She plays a character named Fei Fei who is seeking vengeance for the deaths of some friends she just met, as well as trying to help two older kung-fu masters decide who is the better fighter. Much comedy is provided by these two men. One is a drunk with a prominent red nose and the other is smoking something that causes hilariously goofy music to play whenever he takes a hit off his pipe. Angela is very funny, mixing in a good deal of slapstick with straight fighting, in the various combat scenes. Also funny are nods to both Clint Eastwood's man with no name and Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme. Recomended to those looking for a more light hearted martial arts flick.
