Dreadnaught.......2007-02-13

i had the prevelige of seeing this film at a cinema in birmingham when it first came out and i was speechless its a top draw film in my opinion

Entertaining... But not for the kung fu.......2006-08-05

This is a star-packed occasion, and when that happens, no matter what the genre, the end product is usually dissappointing. "Dreadnaught" is no exception. If I were rating this movie on kung fu alone - and if you are looking to add to an "old school" collection, this movie is not worthy - a single star(I beg to differ with an earlier reviewers). If you are looking for a decent movie with good acting (for a kung fu film)then this is not too bad. I will breakdown my rating a bit more:

Original Chinese: gives one star
Old Wang Fei Hong: Great job - would've like to see him in more fight scenes. The same actor plays Wang Fei Hong in another movie (I wish I could remember the name here) and is much more active and creative. (star number 2)
Decent Story: 1 star

Remember: If you are buying this as a gong fu flick - DO NOT BUY. Yuen Biao and Lueng Ka Yan have much, much better movies (Knockabout, The Victim)... you can actually buy both for the price tag on this film!

Very Good.......2006-01-28

Has fun comedy scenes but there are some grisly moments when the killer attacks. Great fight sequences and an entertaining and interesting application of Yuen Biao's "washing" style.

DIFFERENT IS COOL!.......2003-07-31

This is not your average kung fu classic, more of a comedy chase caper. Yuen Biao does his normal share of amazing stunts but what makes this film cool is the unique fighting styles and the endearing relationships between the bumbling protagonist and those around him. Not as hard hitting as YOUNG MASTER or MAGNIFICENT BUTCHER, this film is still a gem worth having in the finest of kung fu collections.

... is wrong. Oh, so wrong..........2001-08-19

I have to say, I'm no expert on Kung Fu movies, but I have been exposing myself to a wide variety of kung fu films in the past 5 years.. One of the movies that got me into Kung Fu films was this one.

I mean, you have to watch it and enjoy the fight scenes. They employ "fantasy" attacks like killer sleeves, etc.. but they don't rely on the wire-fu techniques that are so overdone.

Just a sidenote RE: Wire-fu: I'm not a crouching tiger fan, because I don't think that the movie deserves the praise that it is such a great movie. The only reason I don't completely vomit when they gave it a bloody oscar is that maybe the ignorant bloated american conciousness will see that there are great movies overseas.

But I digress. Dreadnaught was a very funny movie, and I have ordered the DVD version, as the only copy I have now was a used copy from a bankrupt video rental store.. and this one is worth owning! Until I actually came to Amazon looking for Kung Fu movies, I didn't think that this one would be available on DVD, because I've never seen it on the shelf anywhere. I consider this a treasure, and am overjoyed that I can get this in a high quality version.
