Summary: The "Priest" let me down.
Review: The overall value of this disc is not very high at all.
There are no extras whatsoever. There are no language soundtrack or subtitle options. All you get is dubbed English soundtrack.
Despite the claims of a Xenon "remaster" the technichal quality here is very low. The print itself is in awful shape, really. The transfer is in fullscreen, yet the sides are compressed making everything look squashed.

The story itself is entertaining but only standard fare. The action is somewhat sparse throughout. The acting/direction is grade B and not to be taken too seriously.

Unless this film holds some great sentmental value to you I would recommend not spending your money on this dissapointing and careless "remaster".

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: fasle advertisement, misrepresentationNOT KILLER PRIEST
Review: this case displays the movie killer priest and has pictures from the movie and the short uninformed summary of the original killer priest..but when i popped in the disc labeled "killer priest"...i saw a totally different film from the old classic i know and love!!!!! there was NO evil conman/sorceror, NO iron palm!! and of course NO levitating "killer priest".

check out the REAL killer priest on vhs. its under wu tang collection, but its not part of their shoddy dvd series!!!!!!
its a hard to find tape, most likely to be able to find on ebay, or websites for genre flix.

i contacted XENON and GOT MY MONEY BACK!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TAOISM VS BUDISHUM
Review: THIS MOVIE IS UNBELEVIBLE. THE PLOT IS ABOUT A MONK NAMED TAMO WHO TRAVELS FROM INDIA TO CHINA TO SPREAD THE WORD OF BUHDA. TAMO FIRST TRAVELS TO SHAOLIN TEMPLE BUT TAMO DOESNT SUCCEED VERY MUCH CAUSE OF THE NEW IDEAS. HE THEN TRAVELS TO THE GOVERNER OF CHINA IN WHICH TAMO FAILS TO DO. HE TRAVELED SOUTH TO LUNG CITY TO A YOUNG DOCTER NAMED CHI YUN. THIS IS AN AWESOME MOVIE. I WOULD RECOMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANY MARTIAL ARTS FAN

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: fasle advertisement, misrepresentationNOT KILLER PRIEST
Review: This movie may not be the best martial arts film of all time, but it's still a good one, and in my opinion, a must-see. A priest comes to a small village and people start to die. Who will stop this evil priest? You'll have to see the movie to find out. Make sure to watch the great fighting sequences, especially the finale in the last scene!
