Editorial Review:

Martial Law star Sammo Hung is Dirty Head, an acrobatic servant with a nasty case of mange and a skull harder than a helmet, in this early Hong Kong costume adventure. The ambitious and arrogant Master Chan puts a contract out on Dirty Head because a prophetic funeral ritual gives his servant a leg up on becoming the next King of China. The episodic film chronicles his slapstick stay at a temple, where he hones his martial arts abilities alongside a pair of practical-joking classmates, and his ascension from wandering fighter to revolutionary leader as he attracts a small band of acolytes (including one fighter with some serious gender confusion issues). This 1980 production is full of goofy Three Stooges-style humor and Sammo's mugging, and while the cartoony sound-effect punctuation can get downright excruciating, his acrobatic kung fu is amazing, a fluid and energetic style rarely seen in martial arts productions of the period. The production suffers from pathetic dubbing, and the cropped widescreen film has lackluster color and numerous scratches. --Sean Axmaker

3 out of 5 stars silly, silly, silly.......2007-05-07

Sammo Hung in his 'funny' mode. Unfortunately, even he is not able to save this dog from dying.

3 out of 5 stars He's Filthy!!.......2003-01-08

Yes he is quite Filthy. If you read the synopsis on the sleeve for this DVD it must have been written by someone who hadn't seen the movie. Watch the movie first then read the synopsis. I liked this movie, it's pretty funny which makes up for its low budget. The local landowner tries to kill Filthy Guy because they believe a prophecy saying he will be the next emperor. The land owner wants the emperorship for himself so he must kill his own servant Filthy Guy who is about a durable as Curly from the Three Stooges. In the end the action come up as he frees a political prisoner, becomes famous, rebels join him and two hot babes fight along side him. If you like Sammo's comedy then this is one to get.

3 out of 5 stars So bad it's funny.......2002-01-20

Kung fu movies are known for having bad plots, bad acting, and terrible dubbing, but this one takes the cake. All the actors totally overact and the characters are are really dumb, and the dubbing is hilarious. The fight scenes are bad, they are definitely not the the best Sammo Hung and Carter Wong can do. The acting is also bad, and the plot is really bad, but you might like this movies if you like weird kung fu movies that are so bad they're funny.

4 out of 5 stars nothin special.......2000-07-22
