Summary: King of the leg fighters at his best
Review: Hwang Jang Lee is by far the greatest leg fighter in the history of Martial Arts Movies. He has played some the best villains in this genre. You may remember him as Rubber legs in Drunken Master, Silver Fox in Secret Rivals and Shan Kuan Yung in Snake in the Eagles Shadow. What has always amazed me and to a certain degree dismayed me that he always demonstrated greater skill than that of the protagonist he was pitted against. So much so that I always had a hard time beleiving that he could lose in the end. That is what I love about this movie as the hero he finally gets to live in the end. His skills are showcased wonderfully in this movie especially in the final battle. What this man could do with his legs was amazing, he could parry, block and and lock a opponent with his legs. Jet li fans should watch Hwang Jang Lee do his version of the " no shadow kick" without the help of wires.

Summary: Great Kung Fu Flick! deserves better DVD.
Review: Hwang plays the hero in this movie and displays his awesome kicking abilities. This movies' got allot of fight sequences and should be a part of your Martial Arts movie library, but the DVD should be better. The Martial Arts Theater Collection are all in full screen format. The movie is clear and watch able with some dirt, specks, and lines through the film, but not enough to bother you. The DVD should be in Wide screen and it is not, no extra futures are available and it is only in the annoying English sound track, if you like that it's ok I guess. I brought the movie already, so if a better version is released, I guess I'll get rid of this one. The English dubbed version just drives me crazy because of the way it sounds and the little Ocean Shores logo that pops out during the first chapter of the movie along with a copyright message in the middle of the ... movie ... me off. My opinion is if you collect DVDs for their fullest potential like Extra fetures, origianale and multiple sound tracks, and Original Widescreen format skip the MARTIAL ARTS THEATER COLLECTION. Trust my reviews I have 60 Martial arts DVDs and some of the companies I buy from make these old school and new school Kung Fu flicks look Excellent.

Summary: Must See for Hardcore Martial Arts Fans
Review: Hwang, one of the premiere leg men in the history of the martial arts genre, is at his best in Hit Man in the Hand of Buddha. This film includes the usual fantastic leg work from Hwang, but also some of the better stick-fighting scenes I have ever seen. True fans of the genre should sit back and enjoy the work of one of the true greats to ever grace the martial arts screen. Well worth the watch, although I would recommend finding a copy with subtitles rather than the dubbed English.
