The Shaolin Heroes

Rating:
Summary: classic martial arts flick, dreadful quality
Review: A wonderful HK classic with plenty of well choreographed fights, and even a meningful plot (well, by HK standards). The story follows a former Shaolin student, turned Ching -- Marshall Kao, who is forced to eradicate the very temple that once harbored him, and thus to betray his own btothers, who are initilally incredulous of Kao's new allegiance. Torn between his loyalty and his friends who have all but turned against him, Kao forges a plan to redeem himself and pays the ultimate price upon its completion.
The reason for a 3 star rating is the horrendous image quality on this DVD. I do not recall the VHS being this bad, it simply looks out of focus most of the time -- a real f%^*ing disgrace. Definitely recommend the movie, but do bring your prescription glasses as not to be completely baffled the impressionistic DVD transfer.

Summary: one of the best kung-fu flicks ever!!!!!
Review: I didn't get past 10 minutes before I had to turn this movie off! I have no idea if the movie itself is good or bad, but this transfer is absolutely horrid! It's so damn blurry you can't even make out the characters' faces! Don't even bother RENTING this abomination. Another dud stamped with wu tang's name.

Summary: See past the choppy filming, and see a classic.
Review: I don't know what some of these people reviewing this were watching when they got these ideas of the movie? but they were well from the truth. This movie is some what suspect due to the few noticable editing mix ups, but if you really look at what's goin on in the movie you'll be very impressed. Ti Lung is amazing in this film. playing the role of the bad guy/good guy/ who know's for sure. follow him as he helps bring down the shaolin temple that he studied from, working for the ching dynasty. Instead of killing all the students left alive he holds them prisoners, and tortures them. Unwilling and unknowing the prisoners are being tortured in such a way that there Martial arts is vastly improved. But when they finally find out what the purpose of there arrest, it's too late for someone. Ti lung is supurb with his shaolin palm fist, and his concealed palm, which looks smooth and deadly as he shows them off during the climactic battle which seems to pull the complex story together. Forget what these other reviewers are saying, and take a look at wu tang clan, you'll thank me.

Summary: weak
Review: I might be able to enjoy this film, if it weren't so choppily-edited and badly transferred. The audio is equally horrible, occasionally blaring and then fading out altogether. Bad, bad transfer - hopefully it will get re-released in a more watchable form.

Summary: Okay movie, very bad tape
Review: Nothing to do with Wu Tang (none of these films do), but a Wu Ma film about a treacherous Shaolin student (Ti Lung) who, through torturing his fellow pupils, actually strengthens them so they can attack the evil Manchu overlords. Pretty interesting plot for a traditional kung fu film; the fights are very traditional and do not rely on wire tricks. However, the quality of this tape is very bad, with lots of jumps, discolourings etc. Otherwise it would have earned 3 stars.

Summary: one of the best kung-fu flicks ever!!!!!
Review: this has some of the most amazing fight scenes ever, especially the last one in the prison area. the story is basic, about the shaolin temple being stopped by an emperor, in which one of the students from the temple is working for. he helps captures the students who are still alive and tortures them in the prisons for a reason (which i won't give away). definetally one of the best!!!

Summary: wu-tang is the best singing artist.
Review: Wu-Tang is the best rap artist in the world.So many people love them like me.Their is no reason for people to say bad comments about them.Anyways those that say stupit s%$@ like that is out of envy because they,re the best.I love them all.Wu-Tang clan members have a lot knowledge,wisdom,style and power to prove to themselves and the world.I just got a Wu-Tang tatoo on my back because i horner them for their success and their music.All their music vidios have amazing graphics,paterns,hot Wu Wear,and phat lyrics.I hope some day i meet Old Dirty Bastard,Gza,Rza,Ghost face,U-God,Inspect the Deck,Raekwon,Master killa,capadona and the Method Man.Wu-Tang forever on the raise.
