Cliff Lok and top players shine in worthy kung fu fight fest.......2003-01-01

KUNG FU GENIUS (1979) is an excellent vehicle for unsung kung fu star Cliff Lok (OL' DIRTY KUNG FU) who plays a self-proclaimed kung fu "genius," notable for his unique ability to easily pick up varied kung fu styles. Even while in the midst of fighting he watches his opponents' moves and then uses them himself to defeat the opponent. In the film's opening scene, Cliff quickly peruses a stack of training manuals and performs Eagle, Butterfly, Monkey, Rat, Mantis and Rabbit styles.

Aided by his "idiot" sidekick (Cheng Kang Yeh), Cliff starts his own "Genius" school and immediately becomes a rival of the local "Spiritual" school run by Chan Lung. He is challenged by the top students there, including monkey expert and iron hoop fighter Hsiao Hou, and outfights them all. However, one of the fights takes place at the local brothel, and both schools run afoul of the brothel owner, Lee Hai Sheng (aka Lee Hoi San), who calls in his brother, a lethal fan fighter played by Wilson Tong, the film's director. Several more major brawls occur before Cliff takes on both Lee Hai Sheng and Wilson Tong in the spectacular 11-minute finale.

The film's simple but effective plot serves as a vehicle for at least six major fight scenes and functions as a showcase for the talents of four major kung fu performers (Lok, Lee, Tong, Hou), and several fine supporting players, including the always dependable Chan Lung and Cheng Kang Yeh. It's all very well-photographed and staged and is consistently entertaining from start to finish of its 84-minute running time.

The DVD edition from Eastern Heroes/Xenon offers a high-quality letter-boxed transfer made from a fine-looking, if slightly worn print. It's easily one of the best-looking kung fu DVDs available from this particular company and one which belongs in any kung fu fan's collection.

Lots of real-fu action.......2002-04-14

Not bad at all. No wire-fu (I like wire-fu) but the intensity and complexity of the fight scenes kept my attention and the plot had a few interesting twists and so was not as predictable as some. The styles were an invulnerable 'spiritual' style and lots of animal styles. The weapons were knives, staff, hoop(!) and fans.

The reason I did not give it more stars (I would give it 3.5 stars if it was possible) was because once in a while the choreography allowed us to see that it was, indeed, choreography and the *attrocious* sound quality. The video quality, well, like many others of this genre, it was taken from an old reel of film - but it did not distract me from the movie itself, except during the very 1st and very last frames.

Some good fight choreography!!!!.......1999-08-25

This movie was not fantastic, but the fight scenes were excellent. The comedy was not needed in this movie. The star of the film, Cliff Lok, did his best to make up for the boring plot line. If it wasn't for Wilson Tong doing the fight directing and movie directing, it wouldn't probably be the big hit that it was. This is definitely one to add to your collection, for the fight scenes are superior, especially the ones with Wilson Tong and Li Hai Sheng in them. Maybe not a genius movie, but not a bad idea!!

It's Ok but not to a martial artist.......1998-05-04

It is OK, but they move slow. The only good thing is Hsao Hou is in it. His monkey style is one of the best, but in this, he is slow. Check out "Mad Monkey Kung fu". The main star has bad stances and technique. Not really a kung fu Genius END

Decent but not as impressive as I first thought.......2006-06-30

For some reason both sets comments show on this page..

Here's a list of the movies for those wanting to know:

Set 1 (1 - 5):
18 Fatal Strikes
Enter the Invincible Hero
Sleeping Fist
Fists of Legends 2
Shaolin Chastity Kung Fu

Set 2 (6 - 10):
Return of the Deadly Blade (1981)
10 Magnificent Killers
Fury in Shaolin Temple
Revenge of the Patriots
Shaolin King Boxer

While I will admit these are mostly all decent films, it's sadly telling that the movies in the "previews" included on these discs *AREN'T ON ANY OF THE WUTANG CLAN DVD SETS* (yet, at least). So if you want Liquid Swords, Master Killer, Nine Demons or any of the Venoms, well, as WuTang would say it.. you gotta buy those seperate, son.

On the other hand, if you already have all the known premium old-school fu titles and you want some good action at a decent price, then these sets (and their later 20 dvd set, also available here) may contain films you haven't seen. If so, grab 'em. If not, pass.

Outstanding compilation for true fans of the art of karate! Went back and purchased 2 more for my teenage nephews.

Kung-fu @ it's best.......2005-01-29

If anyone knows kung-fu it's wu tang. There is nothing finer than a collection of the best in fighting. If you're expecting a video music collection, then you're looking in the wrong place. This is fine kung-fu classics at their best. Remastered and just freaking amazing. Enjoy the wu tang classics. Kung Fu Fantastic.

AWsome.......2004-12-19

I personally love Kung-Fu movies and To watch Kung-Fu movies that the Wu loves Is truly cool, if you like kung fu classics and the Wu-Tang Clan definnatly pick this up.
