Summary: This is the best Kung Fu flick I have seen!
Review: I have a very large collection of Kung Fu flicks and this flick ranks right up there with classics like Fist of Legend and Master Killer. The fight scenes were unbelievable and the plot was very enjoying. I was completly taking by this movie! I highly recomend it to anyone!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: amazing fight scenes!
Review: Any self-respecting hong kong movie fan has to buy this one. I'm trying to think of a better martial arts film and I'm not coming up with anything. For sure one of the best ever from Yuen Woo Ping, too, and that's saying something. Forget The Matrix!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Hong Kong's best
Review: This stunning movie has some of the best fight choreography I've ever seen in a movie and it is spread throughout the whole film, not just in a couple of spots. They use a lot of strings in this film, but the balance between the "superfighting" with the strings and more realistic combat is balanced almost perfectly, where in some movies, the actors just fly around with almost no fighting. This is a true classic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Breathtaking, stylized action building to climax battle
Review: This film is typical of Hong Kong efforts of the early 90's. What sets it apart is it's appealing and charismatic leads: two heroic men, a woman and a battling boy. The action is so imaginative, so much fun that you are swept happily into the oriental fight culture. Its opening rooftop battle is so exhuberant the viewer is immediately caught up in the spirit of this martial arts epic. It develops its characters carefully, visually so when the final climactic battle occurs the audience is completely wrapped up in the goodguys, badguy outcome. And what a battle it is. Fifteen foot poles, fire, two Robin Hoods vs a seemingly unbeatable enemy, absolute daring-do to the point the viewer questions his own eyes. A joy to behold and a gem of the genre.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the quintessential martial arts film.
Review: The best fighting scenes, the best fight choreography, the best stars, the best wire stunts. Anyone who loves Hong Kong martial arts cinema already know this and this film. It is famous. If you liked the movie "The Matrix", get this film, it will knock you over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie was probably the basis to The Matrix
Review: This is one of the best martial arts flick that I've seen in awhile. The fight scenes are just incrediable and there aren't too many boring parts for those of us who just wants to see the fight scenes. There are a lot of similarities between the Matrix and this movie so you should definately see this movie first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest fighting film ever made.
Review: I love the superb fihgting scene

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great Martial Arts Action Packed Primer Movie!
Review: This Martial Arts Tale is pure off the chair entertainment. I highly recommend this film for those who have heard of the excitement that the Martial Arts movies of Hong Kong bring. This movie will grab your interest or it won't (please check your pulse). This movie features great characters. The skill set of the star cast is impeccable. A must for Martial Arts movie collectors and buffs. A great introduction for those who are interested in great action.

Rating: 5 stars
