In this movie Ng-see yuen wanted to make a movie that was unique. And that he did. There is a lot of focus in this movie in concentrating on leg fighting. There is also a very large emphasis on HARD HITTING. Don Wong Tao is the best he has ever been in this one.

Okay.......2005-08-09

This movie was okay, nothing special about it. I'd watch it again if I was bored.

Classic Kung Fu Films Finally On DVD!.......2004-05-30

Secret Rivals & Secret Rivals 2 may be the two best independant kung fu films ever made. Starring two great martial artists, Wang Tao and John Liu, in the hero roles and one of the greatest kickers on screen kickers, Hwang Jang Lee, in the villian role. The fights in both films are excellent with the second film having even more action then the first! Also Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fight director, Yuen Woo Ping, directed the fights in the second film. The DVD's look very good as they are both widescreen. If you're a martial arts film fan, these two films are musts for your collection!

Definately a classic,,,I thing this one is equally as good as part 1. Be assured there will be no dissapoinment!!

You never know what you are gonna get with this guy. He only directed my favorite movie ever---legend of a fighter. He also choreographed one of the worst movies---from china with death. I liked the 1st secret rivals much better and the guy who replaced don wong tao really ruined it for me. There is just too many stupid things that happened in this movie. I seriously wonder if Godfrey Ho took part in the writing of this movie.

Very Good.......2006-01-14

As in the first Secret Rivals, John Liu's kicks are outstanding, however in this entry, the fight choreography is much better making for a much more exciting film.

Not the 'classic' I had expected.......2005-08-18

Maybe I was expecting too much, but this was just a touch above average. It starts out incredibly with two Kung Fu experts composing a poem. The dialogue is humorous yet profound... then in walks a man with a metal hand who spars with another student, followed by an excellent fight between a Shaolin Monk and a random henchman (at this point I'm thinking "THIS IS GREAT"). Unfortunately neither the storyline nor the excellent gong fu of Golden Fox was enough to carry this movie to the classic level. The fighting receives a 5 star rating and IS a must have for any serious collection- BUT there is nothing else outstanding about this film. It actually reminds me of a toned down version of a much better film, Invincible Armour (a true classic).

PS- the audio is horrid!!! I had to turn my TV up all the way to hear the words only to have to turn it way down in other parts because of wild fluctuation in the sounds... it was good exercise though.

Old "Skool" Kung Fu!!.......2006-07-07

I really enjoyed this flick,,,,equally an amazing performance from John Liu as he was in Secret rivals 1 and 2. I'm a John Liu fan period,,and expect nothing less than a stellar performace every-time I check out his flick,,this dude has never let me down!! The cinematography and choreography well done!! This film is easily up there with the best of them!! Definately a gem!! Respectively,,the dvd transfer may not be great unless you have the "Red-Son version,,,however, that took nothing away from this amazing, well put together kicker!!

wow, wow, wow.......2006-05-19

Now I will start off by telling you that this is by videoasia. So yeah, you may want to find another version, but I will tell you what. You don't know kung fu if you can't watch the picture on this one. I mean it isn't distorted or anything, and the print isn't too dirty, hell it isn't even fully full screened. The picture is just kind of like there and it's good, just no full rich colors. It is hard to explain the picture on this one, but if you have seen 7 steps of kung fu then I can say the picture is better then thta. I hate having to try to come up with new terms, but i will leave at "this dvd is very acceptable".

Also the sound will vary, typical videoasia release.

So the movie is freaking awesome. The action is directed by the great robert tai. The only real confirmations that I know of is that he is the SUPER cool bad guy from john liu's Incredible Kung Fu Mission, aka Kung Fu Commandos. And he worked as an action director on The Return of the Five Deadly Venoms, aka Crippled Avengers, aka Mortal Combat. So he is back as the bad guy for this, and I have to believe he at least had a hand in the martial arts instruction, because this a beautifully choreographed movie. And classic style, savign the very best for last.

Speaking of the dvd itself, it has a great special feature on it shows you arrest techniques and stuff like that. It is some really good instruction. A great new addition to the instructional video section.

Now the movie itself kicks some serious tail. You get a secret rivals type of a story where john liu's brother is killed and he finds a knife in his body. He goes to fight the southern fist champion(lo rei) becasue it is just known i guess that it is his knife. They talk it over and liu tells lo rei that if the murderer hasn't been found, then lo rei is going to jail. Lo rei, is just like, whatever dude, you are not gonna be taking me anywhere, so keep on blowing smoke if you feel like it. So we get to meet the boss behind all these plans(robert tai). And not really giving anything away(unless secret rivals 1 and 2 are some of your favorite storylines), but he framed lo rei of the murder. So that is basically the whole story, but we get a ton of good fights the whole way through the movie and a lot with a young acrobat that I have only seen in a couple of other movies. Everybody seems to remember ninja in the dragon's den because of the final fight with hwang lee, just so all you people know, the kid who kept saying: "My father will make you pay for this", well he is hwang's magic stylist son. HE IS ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITE MARTAIL ARTISTS. They didn't really showcase him in corey yuen's classic with hiyuroki? sanada, and the great conan lee. But even though his legs seem to be like 2 feet shorter than liu's (LoL), his form and legwork are freaking sweet. And his friend is a pretty good comedy actor. And that's another thing, corey yuen didn't showcase the MA skills, but This kid playing the woodcarver (LoL) was picked for his acting. Well both are on dispay here and he makes the movie so enjoyable it would seriously suck if he wasn't in it. So whoever directed this $100 movie, thanks.

So of course northern kicks champ and southern fist champion alexander lo rei are going to have their fights and those are all good. But you all know what you got this for. The final fight definitely tops all the others in this movie. But the choreography is just so awesome, I honestly had to put this movie right back in after the first time I watched it to see it again. And when the final fight came, oh man, it was even better than the first time.

So the dvd isn't remastered, but it is a GREAT movie.
