Choy Lay Fut/Tiger's Claw

Rating:
Summary: Great film showing Choy Li Fut techniques in combat!
Review: As a Choy Li Fut kung fu student, I was overjoyed to find this little gem of a dvd that showcases the particular style of gung fu that I practice as a martial artist in combat applications. They even use the same gil siks (sounds you make when fighting like dik, wak, ha, etc). For serious kung fu students of Choy Li Fut or kung fu its highly recommended. My only beef is that the picture quality is not that great but since its a recording of old footage I guess thats the best they could do. Tiger's claw was cool too more modern kung fu cinema than Choi Lee Fut and its cool to see a younger version of the guy who played evil Han in Enter the Dragon!

Review: Ground Zero releases can be a very mixed bag, but they
must be given credit for finding and making available
old and rare kung fu films. This double feature is great
for the price too. Both movies star a fairly little known
actor who went by the Americanized name of Cliff Lok. He's
a capable actor and fighter, though not star material ultimately.
I have to watch both of these again, so I can't get into plots
much.
Tiger's Claws is as much a vehicle for Shek Kin [he played HAN from Enter the Dragon!] as for Cliff Lok; Shek, who has appeared in perhaps 100 movies i hear, plays a tortured martial artist who has tried to leave the world of fighting [similar to a role he played in a movie called 'mysterious Heroes']. Lok
plays an ambitious fighter who wants to take on all-comers, and eventually tracks down Shek [he's the 'Tiger' in this movie, and his character is a bit more interesting and developed than Lok's]. I liked this better than Choy Le Fut, though some may think Choy is the better flick. They are both decent 'chop-socky' movies though, so treat yourself!
BTW: the picture quality is fair at best, but according to the movies disclaimer, the prints were the best available, and that is likely true, being 70s flicks made on a budget. I wouldn't
let that detere a genre fan however, as its the only copy you are likely to find at the right price.
