Brave Girl Boxer In ShanghaiThe movie starts off with Doris Lung looking for her brother's killer. She meets Man Kong Lung and they try and figure out how to catch the killer. So how do they catch him? Using their fists of course! This movie has nonstop quality basher action (basher meaning oldschool punch and block fighting style). Doris Lung didn't have many lead roles in her career, and after seeing this movie I really have to wonder why. She is very petite, but she can hold her own against just about anybody. She fights everyone she meets, including a gang of karate students who carry around hatchets. And Man Kong Lung is at his best in this movie. There is undercranking used, but Man Kong Lung is still moving very fast. If you like oldschool bashers, this is highly recommended. The movie is fun all the way through, but gets darker as it goes along. Good movie.The Videoasia version is crap.

Love And SwordWhile we are experiencing a wonderful restoration and re-release of some of the great HK kung fu flicks from the 1960 thru the 80's, the concurrently produced fare from Taiwan is still in a state of disrepair. None of the Taiwanese directors have much fame here in the US except for King Hu. Director Yu Kang Ping is a complete mystery to me except that he thought well enough of himself that he placed photographs of him directing the film during the opening credits.The plot is firmly within the confines of the wuxia / martial world genre. A famous kung fu family is all massacred by masked assailants except for the blind daughter of the clan patriarch. She is sheltered by renown fighter Hsiao-Fang who has taken on the task of finding the killers and killing them. The leaders of the martial world are distressed by Hsiao- Fang's revenge and they hire super-killers to dispose of Hsiao-Fang. A young orphan comes across Hsiao-Fang rescuing an ambushed swordsman from highway robbers. The boy comes under the protection of Hsiao-FAng and moves into his hidden mansion where the young girl is living.Yu Kang Ping certainly has a style to his direction and the film is lively despite the average plot line with it's twists and turns that didn't surprise me at all. The fighting is very stylized with lots of poses and the rhythmic movements from Peking Opera. Fights start at the drop of a pin but the interesting dramatic flourishes raise the film above a lot of others.Unfortunately, like other Taiwanese films of the time, the print available is not very good and the video transfer doesn't help. Several scenes are very dark and the color is mushy. This looks like a transfer done about 20 years ago.Recommended, especially if a new transfer comes out. | 1979 | Chia Li, Kan-Ping Yu | Adventure, Romance | 5.9 (20 votes) | 91 | 20211228 |

Mighty One, The [Tong zi gong]THE MIGHTY ONE (1972) stars Ivy Ling Po, the only major Shaw Bros. star in the cast. It was directed by Joseph Kuo, who later gained fame for numerous 1970s kung fu classics made in Taiwan, including MYSTERY OF CHESS BOXING, BORN INVINCIBLE, 7 GRANDMASTERS, and the 18 BRONZEMEN series. I'm assuming this one was made in Taiwan because the sets and locations look different from those in the usual SB swordplay productions of the time and because none of the SB regulars are in the cast. The actor who plays the villain, a red-faced, white-haired evil kung fu master in a black-and-red outfit, is Lu Ping, who is identified in the disc's Special Features bio as having been a top star for decades in Taiwan (he was about 40 in this one).

Super Man Chu - Master of Kung Fu [Lie ri kuang feng]SUPERMANCHU (1 outta 5 stars) Terrible, terrible Chinese action movie from the 70s... complete with atrocious dubbing and badly-synced sound effects. A bunch of bad guys randomly kill and terrorize some innocent people and a pair of good guys team up to beat the snot out of them. There... that's it... that's the story. All you're going to get out of this movie is some barely competent martial arts action (the heroes don't seem to have too many fancy moves) and some unintentionally stupid American dialogue dubbed in. One pretty good scene has one of our heroes surrounded by bad guys up on some balconies who lasso him with ropes and pull him up into mid-air (marred only slightly because you can obviously see the ""invisible"" wires that are actually keeping him suspended). Hey, it's not a great scene but it's the only thing in this movie that sticks in my mind and I need to write *something* to pad this review out to a decent length. | 1973 | Min-Hsiung Wu | Action, Drama | 5.6 (38 votes) | 90 | 20211228 |

I found myself wondering if the people who did the translation really spoke English or not. its a close call. anyways, lots of great misquotes and so on... some of the stunts are so funny its totally fake and some of the fighting scenes are the same, it doesn't even look like they are really hitting each other but, like i said, this all just adds to the effect of the film... classic! seriously, the dubbing is so funny, there are Chinese dudes, British dudes, and American dudes all doing different characters... id give this 7 out of 10 just for being so funny! | 1977 | Teng-Hung Hsu | Action | 4.5 (29 votes) | 0 | 20211228 |
