First off, I gave this 1/2 star because I actually made it through the whole thing. But it was certainly a chore. Otherwise it would have gotten a ZERO.
It was one of those movies where you're introduced to so many characters that after awhile it gets too hard to remember who's who, especially the female characters in this one. Also once you think you have a handle on what's going it, there's some betrayal or role reversal and you're back in the dark. This flick is horribly chopped and cut too, so that certainly doesn't help. Usually the ending fights in these movies will have SOME kind of redeeming value, but not in this one. It will definitely have you scratching your head, especially the group of masked fighters that appear from nowhere that fight in a chain formation and make a sound like an injured duck.
If you're adventurous, give it a shot. There's some classic cheese that may make you laugh, but in the end you'll come out of it with a few less brain cells. It's kind of like watching the little neighbor kid that you hate learning to ride a bike. In a sick way it's fun to watch him continually fall on his face, but eventually he succeeds. This movie doesn't.
Kung Fu Vs. Yoga (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts This was a fairly mediocre film leading up to the superb finale. It had a lot of fights, most of which were entertaining. The final fight is a must-see. It is worth watching the whole movie just to see that fight alone. The humor was pretty off the mark, mainly due to the subpar dubbing, which took a bit away from the film for me. Also the comedic ending was not a surprise at all, as it was quite obvious how things were going to pan out at the end when they dropped the first hint. Overall, I enjoyed the film, but if I ever pop the DVD in again it will most likely be to rewatch the final fight scene.
One Man Army [1980] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This was a good movie. It had lots of classic kung fu cliches and the story was entertaining. The fights were good, The hero was a very likeable character, Philip Ko Fei was a great villain, and also a there's cameo by Beardy! It would make excellent Saturday afternoon viewing, and I recommend it.
