Chop Socky Classic!!!.......2007-03-14

I originally saw this film as a kid waaaay back in the 80's when my local TV station used to have "Midnite Kung Fu Theatre". As a fan of "Old Skool" flix I was happy when I found this DVD in my local music stores used bin for 5 bucks!!! The print quality is good and is obviously not the cut, full screen TV print. This is proably the best release of this film that you will find, unless some company undertakes a massive film preservation project for this flix. Ignore all the Kung Fu snobs that will complain about slow fight speed or other such B.S. issues and add this to your "old skool" collection.

A GREAT OLD SCHOOL FLICK.......2007-02-24

now with all this talent in this movie how can a director, a producer, and choreographer go wrong and they dont but the video asia release has a flaw. the chapter selection feature is all screwed up and the insta action isnt quite accurate ither. but video asia did manage to release to uncut version which is an hour and forty minutes compare to the other past releases who give us an hour and twenty five minutes or so but anyway this flick stars the legendary megakickers john liu and wong jang lee. other talented wonders include yuen biao, lee hoi sang, philip ko fei, corey yuen, tino wong, sonny yuen shun yi, tyrone hsu hsia, wong chi sang, ching kuo chung, and the yuens choreograph the action so it well equipped. this is an adventure action flick so that explains why it is 1 hour 40 minutes long in the original cut. for a movie made in 1977 this has great action this version is definite pick up but bare in mind like i said this is videoasia and it has its flaws and you gotta ask yourself this videoasia release is too good to be true well not exactly just the chapter selection that messed up the flow.

Old "skool" Kung Fu .......2006-05-09

The Kung fu kid is right,,,,there seems to be a mild delay in the fight scenes,,,but WHO CARES. That did not take nothing away from this kick-ass flick,,,I said it before and I'll say it again,,,three words: TOUGH, TOUGH, TOUGH. This flick has to be up there on all of your top 10 best, and don't lie. If this one is not in the collection,,,you're not a true old school nut,,,PERIOD!!! The story nontheless very mundane, but the fight scene is off the hizzel!! If you agree with me on this one,,,I recommend "Mystery Of Chess Boxing" The best ever!!

5 bucks in the ne and used section, I decided to replace the vid tape and upgrade.......2006-05-06

And man am I glad I got this. This is THE version to get. I mean you have like 2 reviews down there that say the fights are slowed down, and you have another one who says that the release is awesome. So I have come here to set the record srtaight. THE RELEASE IS AWESOME, for videoasia at least. It is widesceened(not all the way of course)and great picture(for videoasia. The colors are nice and rich, they tend to bleed sometimes, and sometimes at the start of the movie, there does seem to be a but of distortion, chioppiness, and shakiness. But like I said, this is a videoasia release and their release of south shaolin master has to take a backseat to this, I had one hell of a good time watching this. And this is how fast Hwang Lee fights people, sorry if it isn't up to today's jet li standards, but the undercranking just isn't used that much, they tried to give you a little more of a real life feeling, sorry, go check out iron monkey 2 or something. I have had many problems with videoasia releases in the past, but after accumulating a total fo 7 dvd palyers, i always get ALL my dvd;s to work, all the time, except that dam doctor wai movie.
It is very possibel if you try it on another palyer, it will run at a normal speed.

Now this movie has many stars and i will try to name most of them, cause by the way this is the uncut version like other people said and you WILL see yuen biao's fight.

So the story is abotu the 3 invincible armour masters I think and john liu(secret rivals, fighting ace) gets framed for murder by Lee Hsoui?? You will recognize this guy as the monk who sort of opposes san te in 36th chamber, he also fought him in shaolin vs. wudang. He is also the guy who is opposite Gung on-hark as whang in-sik's other henchmen in young master, and shaolin traitor who gets killed by ti lung in avenging eagle. He has a really good acting performance in this and they actually fooled me into believing he was a good guy at the start of this. But of course he is not so Hwang lee seng sends Chiang Wang to get John. Adn I gotta say this guy wang di an AWESOME job in this movie. I sually dont; like him. He is in THE greatest chopsticks fight scene eevr from hitman in the hand of buddha, he is the guy who replaced don wong in secret rivals 2, and is teh one who beats up jackie's schol's master in snake in eagle's shadow, and he also gets beat up by jackie in drunken master. His hair is obviously so fake in this but he plasy his character SOOOOOOOO cool. He doesn't smile once, and his fighting is the same stupid style, but I have to sat that i loved him playing this role. So I haev to say that this is not your average Ng-See Yuen release. many people don't know it, but he actually directed many god movies like secret rivals and also this one. You can tell right away that they actually put some money into this flick. All the great sets and, costumes and SWEET wigs are definitely highly unusual for yuen. So the story isn't the shizzle by any means but nam me another white-haired mutant fight than this movie. I'm waiting... When phillip ko and his crane go up against Hwang's eagle, you will definitely have a smile on your face. Best white whair vs. white hair OF ALL TIME.

So the movie starts out a little slow, but at the 1 hour mark, don't plan on moving your eyes for abotu 40 minutes.

Excellent kung fu adventure. .......2005-10-18

The eagle claw combined with the invincible amour is definitely unbeatable this one of Jonh Lui better movies and with a cast with the likes of silver fox this is an entertaining martial art conspiracy, lots of action great technique, lets be real chinese movies is not noted for original creative story lines and great realistic acting skills forget that!!!! if you want a good action pack martial arts movie this will definitely satistfy your taste, one of the best eagle claw techniques diplayed on screen a must to any collector laterz folks.
