Great Wushu.......2007-05-24

The title says it all. 'This is Kung Fu' showcases many different martial arts routines from China. It's not a drama, there's no story as such, just a heck of a lot of kung fu. Which is great, because I'm a fan (and my teacher's in there doing a form, which is always fun).

There's a lot of talk these days about what makes up traditional martial arts and whether or not a modern style qualifies as being real, authentic kung fu. But all styles change with time, and there are so many different styles demonstrated in this film, if you're a fan of kung fu and you don't see something you like, I'll eat my hat. There are the younger Wushu stars of the 1980s featured, and also old masters, so it's a pretty wide variety of martial arts and practitioners.

Don't expect anything instructional, it's all for exhibition. But apart from the martial arts themselves, it also makes for a revealing and stimulating peek into the culture of wushu only a few decades ago.

Interesting Wushu performance art, but...........2006-07-01

There are some interesting and unusual demonstrations of some of the more exotic Chinese styles. Monkey style, snake style, drunken style, eagle style. Some tai chi push hands. Lots of unusual weapons. Swords, whips, knives and some more exotic implements.

But, these are mostly "modern" wushu performance art. There is very little traditional fighting styles presentations. We get to see lots of athletic demos by very young performers. Some of the forms seem to be more like Olympic gymnastics than martial arts. Traditional forms don't include things like backwards summersaults into full splits. We get to see a lot of those here. There are a few brief demonstrations by 80+ year old people.

The subtitles are strange. Not well translated. Unusual spellings. For example Pakraq for Bagua circle walking forms.

Yes, we do see Jet Li winning a medal at age 8. We also see him as a teenager looking like he was actually learning real martial arts.

This can be an interesting movie as long as you set your expectations correctly.

where were the dinosaurs???.......2005-01-27

well, as much as i appreciate the effort shown on Jet's part to do a wholesome kung fu documentary, i really must protest the total lack of dinosaurs. What the heck? you really can't expect a decent, God-fearing American to sit through hours of this mindless drivel when there are no dnosaurs present... honestly... Good kung fu, totally worthless special effects, the one lizard that i happened to notice looked like it was an iguana just chilling on the set, i mean, did they even want it to look like a dinosaur? Sometimes i think they didn't... that's how bad it was.
Trust me, if you are looking for kung fu action without the dinosaurs, you're wasting your time. If you're not retarded and want some Rex Kwon Do, you know that you should be looking for some real action.

yes this review was a joke. I'm bored. I haven't actually seen the documentary, but i'd like to.

Boring and of poor quality.......2004-06-06

Don't waste money on this. I know Jet had good intentions, but this isn't up to par.

The Almighty Chief Executive One-Stop Kung Fu Must-Have!!!!.......2003-09-08

This is the Kung Fu documentary you've been searching for. It has it all. Watch it over and over again. It's mind boggling that this documentary was even allowed to be made, let alone seen by western eyes. It exposes the heart, soul, and spirit of
traditional Chinese martial arts, seemingly covering the entire range of Kung Fu styles. Enough praise cannot be given. This documentary set the standard by which I will judge others from now on.

Description

Shot at the Glass House in Pomona, home of speed labs and pit bull farms, this show is frightening. Fists are flying everywhere, back kicks are barely missing heads, and the band is punk, metal, and gothic all at the same time. They may have started as an offshoot from Huntington Beach's 18 Visions, but there is nothing off-shooty about this group. No extra charge for the stunningly beautiful keyboard player by the way. Hats off to Trustkill for developing this band into hard core superstardom. This will be their year as they are confirmed for the entire Ozzfest, featuring the best line up ever for that tour. **NON STANDARD PRICING**

Awesome performance.......2007-05-28

If you are a fan of Bleeding Through, BUY THIS NOW! Descent sound quality, and one hell of a crazy show. The set list was a bit disapointing, a lot of old stuff. Which I happen to think is not as well rounded as their later releases. Still very descent.

AHHHHH!!!!!.......2006-04-21

Well, all I have to say is that Bleeding Through ROCKS!!! If you are a fan, this is a required buy.

Great in every way.......2005-11-29

This DVD is flat out brutal in every way.
Favorite tracks were Turns Cold To The Touch, Savior, Saint, Salvation, Number Seven With A Bullet, Insomniac, and Rise.
