Noodles and a bamboo stick make good weapons for Cliff Lok.......2003-01-01

OLý DIRTY KUNG FU (1979) is the Wu Tang Collectionýs retitled release of MAD, MAD KUNG FU, directed by Chien Yuet San and starring Cliff Lok, Simon Yuen, Chan Lung, and Lee Hoi San. Other reviews here make the mistake of confusing it with the completely different DIRTY KUNG FU (1978), which was directed by Lau Kar Wing and starred Wong Yue as a would-be bounty hunter, with Lau and Norman Chu as co-stars.

This one deals with an aspiring kung fu champ, played by Cliff Lok, who wanders the countryside perfecting his own style of kung fu and helping people in trouble. (Heýs also an accomplished noodle maker, which makes for some clever, comical scenes.) Because of his choice of weapon, he gets mistaken for the venerable champion known as Bamboo Stick and is even aided by the real Bamboo Stickýs top student (Chan Lung), who is traveling incognito to avoid recognition by enemies of his master. Lee Hoi San plays the local town boss whose no-good son (Cheng Kang Yeh) was mortally wounded after Bamboo Stick had come to the aid of a village girl forced into marriage with the son. Leeýs desire for revenge soon involves all three protagonists, neither of whom is good enough on his own to defeat Leeýs "Iron Head" technique. Eventually the real Bamboo Stick (Simon Yuen) coaches Cliff and paves the way for a final, grueling battle with the town boss.

The simple plot, which deftly mixes humor and suspense, offers an effective showcase for a series of well-staged fights showcasing the considerable talents of the four lead actors: the underrated Cliff Lok (KUNG FU GENIUS, DUEL OF THE SEVEN TIGERS); veteran Simon Yuen (the original DRUNKEN MASTER), who is frequently doubled by one of his sons (from the famed Yuen Clan); Chan Lung (also in KUNG FU GENIUS), in a rare heroic role; and perennial villain Lee Hoi San (aka Lee Hai Sheng, also in KUNG FU GENIUS). The tape quality of this Wu Tang Collection edition is not what it ought to be (see KUNG FU GENIUS), but it is a tad better than most of the releases in the Wu Tang lineup.

Good Movie.......2001-04-06

Movie starring Wang Yue he plays a ... bounty hunter who always cons other bounty hunters to help him catch criminals, they usually do the fighting as he is not good at kung fu, and he is constantly getting ripped off, he then goes after a man who is a master criminal and extremely skilled at Martial Arts.
He soon realizes that this man is going to be tough to catch as every man he gets to go with him to catch the criminal ends up dead. He then creates the eel style and a few tricks and goes after the bad guy.

pretty good!.......2000-01-24

at first it seems like a very poorly choreographed kung fu movie, but once you get into to it, it does improve. filled with humor and action, one of the better kung fu movie's i've seen. where as bruce lee is very serious and true action, this is more light hearted with crazier fighting. recomend!

"Mr. Ho, let me toast you.".......2006-02-16

As unlikely as it seems, Dirty Ho might actually be the better translation of the original Cantonese title. It's certainly better than Rotten Head Ho. Whatever the english title may be the film is one of the best Shaw Studio releases. Directed by Liu Chia-Liang and starring Gordon Liu (Kill Bill), Dirty Ho set high standards for comic sensibility, fight choreography, and costume and set design. Standards that many martial arts films today fail to live up to.

Like many Shaw releases, Dirty Ho opens with a funky horn theme that plays through the opening credits. Before those credits have finished there has already been a huge battle that works just as well as a dance number. It's anachronistic to the character relationships and doesn't have anything to do with the film yet in no way does it detract from the finished product. The narrative begins with two men, Ho (Wong Yue) & Mr. Wang (G. Liu), each hosting a little party in adjoining spaces. They each aim to win the attention of several women at the parties. This is where one of the first jokes begins. For narrative purposes the scene is meant to show how Ho is so hopelessly outclassed by Wang that he doesn't even realize that he's being schooled. The scene works equally well as a joke about the competing macho personalities of the protagonists. They one-up each other to the point of bankruptcy (for one of the characters) for the sole reason of having a few pretty courtesans hang out for but a few minutes. After Ho is escorted from the premises by the dirty po-po he's broke and needs to score some more jewels to get back in the game. His travels keep his path crossing with Mr. Wang's and soon he becomes Wang's disciple. Ho is not a willing disciple but must remain with Wang in order to get the cure for a poison that makes his head rot. This is all part of a plan from Mr. Wang to develop the talent he sees in Ho.

Wang though has other problems, like concealing his true identity. He is thought of as the likely successor to his father, who happens to be the king. Since he cares nothing for power and desires only to study and better the martial arts, wine and fine arts he is in a bit of a pickle. Trying to help him out of this fix is one of his brothers who has sent assassins to make sure that he never has to make the decision. It's up to Wang & Ho to fight back. They do this through a variety of means, mostly having something to do with fisticuffs. During Ho's training Wang beats back several would-be killers in some of the smartest battles to ever land on screen. In one scene Wang is tasting wine with an assassin and the two continue polite discussion and drinking while simultaneously trying to kill each other. The assistant to the host attempts to attack Mr. Wang with fighting styles that change according to the wine he is serving. Look especially for the boxing that follows the "Monkey Placenta/Deer Antler" wine. Wang later has a similar battle while browsing antiques with Ho generally remaining clueless about the entire affair until the build up to the final battle begins.

Released in 1979 Dirty Ho is quite a bit more than just a few fights scenes and a thin plot. The attempts on Wang's life are witty critiques of the pseudo-civility of politics where "The Gentleman" from one place might humbly and gently disagree with the views of his "esteemed colleague" while each does everything they possibly can to destroy the other by essentially any possible means. Mr. Wang as the protagonist as well is a more thoughtful character than one might expect from a kung fu flic. He is superficially portrayed as a benevolent royal of sorts but his actions show a many using his wealth to manipulate those around him, essentially for sport. His mentoring of Ho is mostly for his own gain and it leads up to a final action shot that freezes as the end credits begin to roll. Those are two of the many reasons that Dirty Ho is far better than one might expect from any film with that name.

A classic and must-own for martial arts film fans.......2003-06-30

Gordon Liu plays the comedian, something you haven't seen him do before. This movie is filled with comedic moments and excellent martial arts sequences. The only version I've been able to find is dubbed and has imprinted subtitles in multiple languages. The quality isn't the best, but this movie shines anyway. Don't pass it up--you'll be missing out on one that will likely become a favorite.

5 Stars.......2002-04-16

Definately a must buy for Gordon Liu & Liu Chia Liang fans. Liu Chiang Liang's excellent direction and choreography and Gordon Liu's perfect execution of stealth fighting make watching this film a delight. Wang Yu as the bungling disciple adds some humor to dark tone of the film. Best fight: Gordon Liu versus the art dealer. Funniest scenes: Wang Yu trying to heal his injured head.

Fighting while not fighting. Hilarious!.......2001-12-16

Gordon Liu plays Mr. Wang, an art, jewelry, and wine afficionado who is travelling across China. He encouters Mr. Ho a jewel thief in a crazy party competition (as in who can attract the most girls to their party). These two continue to run into each other. Ho is wanting to get back at Wang, and Wang apparently thinks Ho is amusing. There is more to the plot, but you will have to watch the movie.

The fight scenes were very well done. There was a really cool fight between Ho and Wang where Wang was using a female musician to actually do the battle, but Ho couldn't see what was happening and thought that she was actually very skilled in kung fu. Really well done!

There were a number of encounters between Wang and various assassins. For some reasons these assassins did not just up and start wailing on Wang, they were carrying on normal conversations and steathily fighting under the table. Ho, who was present at these encounters had no idea that Wang was actually fighting! Also very cool!

The sound and video quality was pretty good overall. The dubbed voices were a bit corny in places, but that is to be expected. There was a bit of noise from time to time (it looked like tracking problems from a VHS), but this was on the DVD. Nothing that harmed the movie anyway.

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.

COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE POST WHAT MOVIES ARE IN THIS COLLECTION.......2006-03-08

I would like to know why the reviews say awesome, kungfu at it's best, and a secret gem, it would be nice to get a description of why this is so good.

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.

I rating the movie; please read- it's important that people know........2007-03-26

It's actually 3 1/2 stars from me. But I could of done better with another actor at the time instead of Wang Yu. I love Liu Chia- liang's martial arts choreography in this films first and foremost.

A far as this DVD: I bought this DVD at first as a pre order because I had the Ground Zero version which had (before I threw it away) skips and jumps on the DVD and Amazon {on the Pre- Order} comments mentioned that it had 5.1 surround sound and it was widescreen. Very seductive for a kung fu fan like me to give in, but guess what people- It's the same version as Ground Zero's but the difference is that they (Wu Wei) had rescaled their version (Ground Zero's) to 2:60 instead of the original aspect ratio which was 2:35. Hold on there is more: they rescaled it again to 1:85, so, when you are watching the film- the original aspect ratio {of their version- Wu Wei} is covered by a 1:85 strip. It's horrible. At least Ground Zero's version had better resolution and it was the original 2:35 ratio. Hold on their is more: they copied Ground Zero's version from the VHS copy not the DVD as you can clearly see.

Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I paid $21 for this... Deltamac or IVL is the way to go Kung fu fans. Also, thanks goodness for Quentin Tarantino and Dragon Dynasty..... they are going to put bootleggers like these people out of business.

Fun Movie; Cruddy DVD.......2005-07-20

This famous Shaw Brothers title is pretty entertaining, but is badly let down by a substandard presentation. It appears to have beenmastered from an old VHS tape, and the picture isfull of tape dropout...add to this the audio anddigital artifacts and you have a most annoyingvideo experience. The fairly high price adds insult to injury; I've bought DVDs for $5.00 thatplay far better. I haven't gotten any discs from this particular company before, and I'm not likelyto do so again...buy if you must, but be forewarned.
