Bio: collect and watched every good kung fu movie out there, i start watch kung fu film when i was 3, so 20 years experience, collect over 1200 kung fu dvd. i call my self the true kung fu movie collector!i always tell the truth about kung fu film, that's the reason we all here, bruce lee is not a god, donnie yen is really try hard, 36 chamber is not the best classic........., be honest to your self, do you really think a film is great? or because every one else say it's good? i like to be myself!
Shinobi (product link) Action/Adventure / Fantasy This has got to be the worst ninja movie ever. I don't understand why people rated it so high. Sure, I watched the manga and anime version, it's great, but the live action version sucks because they don't have the budget to make the special effects look real, and the actors look so fake. I can't believe how dumb this movie is. As I said, if you have no brain and still believe in fantasy and fairy tales, then this movie suits you perfectly. But if you are a hardcore kung fu action fan like me, stay away from it at all costs. I think that's why we're here in the first place!

I neither agree/disagree with your review but you watched a Japanese "ninja" movie for hardcore kung fu action? Lolz
In fact NO WAY, if you have no brain then you wouldn't notice the great storyline that this movie offers. Man, this movie has everything. Each to their own. But shit, you missed a magic movie here.
I'm not sure if I would call this a ninja movie and I could see where some hardcore kung fu fans could dislike it, but I felt this was well done and quite interesting. I couldn't help feel like I was watching a superior version of the X-Men
Shaolin Master Killer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure this got to be the most over rated film ever, i don't know why people rated so high, it's got very slow and boring action, slow storyline, i felt to sleep half way of the film, i reckon this is gorden liu's worst film, watch the invisible pole fighter instead!

You should give up watching & rating martial arts films
The Princess Blade (product link) Martial Arts / Swordplay/Sword(s) ...Don't waste your money like me on a crappy movie like this again! There are so many movies with much better acting, story, and action than this rubbish. Take my advice, if you are looking for a movie with cute girls, lots of blood and a interesting storyline, get – “Azumi”! You will thank me for that!
Bury Me High (product link) Action/Adventure / Thriller Terrible film, I wasted my money on this one. Not a single good fight in this one. Everything is so slow. Bad kung fu flick.
The Warlords (product link) Action/Adventure / War A must-see Jet Li movie with good story and action. Don't watch his movie called "War", because it's a waste of time. "The Warlords" is on par with "Fearless"!

This is a less than five star film, but not by much.
The film is a mess, it has talent but it does not go anywhere. As a reviewer you should write a detail description on why you enjoyed it because this review is inaccurate & a disgrace to true film fans.
My Wife Is A Gangster 3 (product link) Action/Adventure / Girls With Guns Very funny, with some really cool action, but not enough fights--needs more kung fu!

We both went a little high with 4 stars. It's good, but nothing great or special.
I was tired and mistook yes for no on your review of "Shaolin Master Killer", you really missed the mark! I'm pleasantly surprised to agree with your review of "Invincible Pole Fighter"!
Kiltro (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts Another low budget kung fu flick--nowadays everyone is making those $5,000 kung fu movies. Good performances, those guys got skills, all they need is the budget to make it big. If you like "Contour", you will like this, but don't expect the same level as "Contour".
The Way Of The Dragon (product link) Martial Arts total dis agree, the fight were slow, story is boring, i don't see any special about this film, why people say bruce lee is so great? has he win any world boxing match? no, has he defeat any champion? no, so he just an average human being, his movie is nothing special, just some basci kick and punch, i feel like i can do better!

mike you are an ignorante- read the books so you can understand what he accomplished and then read the books written about you.
Again Mike, this film is a product of the seventies. Bruce Lee directed, and did the fight choreography. Besides the great Chuck Norris fight, Bruce turns in an awsome comic performance!
Challenge Of The Masters (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I wasted my money on Gordon Liu's worst film, the fights are slow, made me fall asleep, go and buy "Invincible Pole Fighter" instead!

"Invincible Pole Fighter" is better, but this is still quite a good film. The fight with the bandit (Lau Kar Leung himself) is good enough for at least 4 stars. The rest is good too!
The Iron Fisted Monk (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Complete waste of money, Sammo's worst film, they even do a soft porn in this old school kung fu film. Skip it at all cost!

Perhaps the rape scenes could have been toned down, but there was definitely a need to provide motivation for the traditional "train hard and get revenge" storyline. There is much good with this film, and I would rate it much higher.
Disciples Of The 36th Chamber (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Okay old-school kung fu flick, better than the other "36 Chambers" series, but hey same problem: messy showdown, not enough fights.

This is a bit better than you say, and the other 36th Chamber films are much better. Your aesthetics are mysterious.
Dragon Tiger Gate (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Nothing special, only worth watching the first 10 minutes, the ending is a let down. Trust me, [there's] nothing special about this film.
The Secret Rivals / The Secret Rivals 2 [2-Pack] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure terrible, you call that kung fu? I call that dunb fu. what a waste of my money. I think I was fooled by some peoples review. it's not even worth looking at it. for old school, only watch liu gar lang's film, cause that's good kung fu guranteed, but any one else, don't even bother!

SPL: Sha Po Lang (product link) Crime / Drama This film is very similar to "Flash Point", but I think this is the better one of the two. The story drags on a bit, but the action was great. Donnie Yen is clearly getting old, and he likes to show off a bit too much. We all know he is great, worth collecting!

I rate this higher than you, but you're due for a positive response, and not off by all that much.
I actually mainly agree with you, I'm just putting no because everyone disagrees with you. This was a great movie and I rate the fight between Donnie Yen and Jackie Wu Jing as one of the greatest ever.
Fighting Beat (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A low budget flick, but trust me, the action is mean. Another Tony Jaa wannabe, but he's really got skill. Tony Jaa's style jas become a trademark for Thai films!

This movie is pathetic, acting is crap, action is crap. Nice babes, but everything else crap, crap, crap.
Dragon Wars (product link) Action/Adventure / Science Fiction Very boring film. It's a Korean film, with a white guy in it? You know what I mean, it's a big rip-off of "Godzilla" and "Transformers"--very bad CGI, the dragon looks so fake, go watch "The Host" instead!
Im still waiting to see a copy with good English subtitles to comment on the plot. The action is pretty good. Jija does the moves very well but her power is not believable. She needs to work on delivery of impact but other than that action is pretty good.
Fearless [2006] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I wasted my hard earned money on Jet Li's director cut. It's a really bad film. The director's cut is so silly, watch the original version instead!
I thought the DC version was a big difference from the theatrical release. I've been a kung fu cinema fan for years and I truly believe this film really elevates the genre to new heights! Maybe its my love for positive and uplifting martial arts films
I thought the directors cut was much better than the theatrical release. From Legend Of A Fighter to Fearless the directors cut, your a hard man to please! Tolerance Grass Hopper!
Transformers [2007] (product link) Action/Adventure / Science Fiction Very boring film, only good at the end. They should hire Corey Yuen as the director, it would make it a lot better!

you know, your a regular Ric Meyers. Misinformed, ill-logical, and likes to make irrelevent comments.
The Big Boss (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts this film suck, complete over rated, the fighr is slow, and story is boring, bruce li make me wanna go sleep, his acting is so bad, i think he got to be the most over rated person ever lived, why people think he is the best? tony jaa got way better skill than him!
You are correct. Bruce lee is over-rated, and this is hardly his best film. I am from China and saw thousands of Chinese movies. This one is not memorable.
This was not Bruce Lee's best but again the time frame is 1970-1971 when this film was made. Bruce Lee's charisma carries this film and makes it a classic as his first full-fledged martial arts movie for Western audiences!
Enter The Dragon (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Well not too bad, an okay film, with some good fights. I rate "Game Of Death" as Bruce's best film, this one is okay, but the rest is just rubbish. Bruce did show some good action, but not much. Compare thie movie to "Ong-Bak", it just total suck, why Bruce become so famous? I reckon is becuase he starts his film career early. If he tried to do his film today, he would not stand a chance compared to Jet Li or Jackie Chan!

dude, a mentally deficent 2 year old could refute your asinine reviews.
Another classic mike lee review. Given your previous reviews, I am not too surprised that your favorite Bruce Lee movie is one in which they had to use a stand-in in some scenes.
Now Mike, If Bruce Lee were here today making martial arts films in his prime, I believe they would be as good or better than films starring Jet Li and Tony Jaa. This particular film had a good story with the good fights!
Fist Of Fury [1972] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is Bruce Lee's worst film, totally stay away, the fight is slow and boring, totaly overrated. I was fooled by those so-called reviews, this movie is a big rip-off of "Fist Of Legend", watch the Jet Li version is way better, the original is always the best. I totally agree Bruce Lee is a a good actor, but not a real fighter. He is so small, and he has proved nothing in real fighting. Bruce Lee is always the most overrated person in the world, he is not the best as it seems!

uh.... I can only asume you are 3 years old. No insult, it's just your grammer is a bit lacking.
You are correct to a great extent. The movie is worth seeing, but it is mainly Americans who have seen few or none among Chinese movies who are overly-impressed with Bruce Lee. I am from China, and I have seen thousands of Chinese movies, so I can judge.
I almost agreed with this review simply because I couldn't quit laughing at it. Anyone who thinks the Jet Li version is the original should probably pick another genre of film to watch.
Remember this film was made according to the production standards of the seventies. It was not the greatest but it was a pretty decent old school production introducing us to Bruce Lee!
You have no logic. This movie is amazing and so is Bruce Lee. And didn't Bruce Lee prove that he was an excellent martial artsist and one of the most physically fit people ever? And didn't he pretty much create the Jeet Kun Do?
Your belief that an original film is a ripoff of a remake from twenty years later is a serious problem. Bruce Lee had legitimate martial arts experience - a grounding in Wing Chun developed into his own Jeet Kun Do - rather than artistic Wushu.
The Curse Of The Golden Flower (product link) Drama / Action/Adventure a mix feeling bot this film, the action slow and boring, the lead actor trying too hard, than what are we watching? the custome and the back groud, yep, it's amazing how they built the palace, watch it as an forbiden city show would be great!
Hard Boiled (product link) Action/Adventure / Bullet Ballet I just watched this film, it's a very average flick. The gunplay looks very fake, and the storyline is slow. I think "The Killer" is the better movie to see; this film is also a bit overrated, good to watch it only once!

ok, this whole "being yourself" thing is nothing more than self-served denial. You have got to be kidding me! this film is great. Compliances towards others thoughts is irrelevant!
Come on Mike, this is one of John Woos greatest classics along with the Killer! I loved this film, Chow Yun Fat and Little Tony were excellent in their portryals. Though you prefer the Killer, this film rates more than two stars!
Really? just 2 stars? Mike Lee watch it again, I mean did you see the action warehouse scene or the ultimate action man's dream the gun play in the hospital or the awesome beginning in the restaurant.
You just dissed the biggest, baddest and best action movie of all time. You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Please stop writing your idiotic reviews.

you know what, I did actually like this film. Fun and stupid!
This film was an early try at completing what might have been Bruce Lee's greatest film! The scenes with the real Bruce were not even complete. Its worth a look, there is a good Sammo and Bob Wall fight, but this is not a four and a half star film!
But you gave the box set 4 stars- I think your trying to make people mad or your confused about the star rating. Anyways your reviews are funny at least I enjoy them ya know.
The film Bruce Lee intended to make doesn't exist. This reconstruction/reimagining/re-something is nice to see, but it can't compare with his completed films.

No, there are no crabs involved here, and that's no crap. "Duel to the Death" is a well made film with good acting and choreography. Four stars, or thereabouts.
Your sanity called... it's lost and can't find it's way home. You might not like the wire-fu style, but to call this flick boring is just wrong. It's full of action.

"Fearless" IS better, but this is a much finer film than you say.
Have to agree with Sgt. T. on this one. You have to look at the film technology when the film was made. Old school kung fu stars had to really know their stuff, sfx was not as advanced.
Fearless is a newer film, of course it would be better action wise. This film was pretty good for the time it was made, you should be more tolerant on old school films or don't watch them.
as with my previous review, lot of people do not agree or hated, because i tell the truth, sure i never say bruce lee is not great, but he is just bit over rated as it seems, and not all of his film are good, that is the truth, like fist of fury, big boss, and way of the dragon, compare the fight to todays standard, it's very slow, the acting is cheap, and there is really nothing special. but bruce lee did show some good action in game of death and enter the dragon, that's why i give an higher rating. my piont of view is , bruce lee is an good martial art actor, he has no real fight record like mike tyson or mahamade ali, and beside of his movie, he proofed nothing that he can fight for real. movie and real fighting are so different, any one can act in kung fu film with little bit of training. but i never say bruce lee is not good, i always like him, but we should all treat him just like an normal human being, not an god, and he is never the toughest person ever lived, thanks!

Your argument is not consistent with your other reviews. Even if it were, it has nothing t do with a review of this film (which...you know...is what a review is supposed to do).

Kind of iffy Jet Li movie, has about enough fights, but it's crippled by bad writing and direction. Jet Li sometimes makes bad films! This is probably among his five worst (but certainly not so bad as "The Master" or "Kung Fu Cult Hero").
Fist Of Fury: Sworn Revenge [SE 2-Disc Set] (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts Highly recommended. Yeah, it's a TV series movie. So what? It's cheap, but Donnie really shines in this film. They were on a really tight budget, but they have so many great fight scenes, it's way better than some so-called kung fu flicks today. Get this series, you will like it!

The action choreography is about as good as one can achieve in a modestly-budgeted television series. No, it can't compare to a really good film: It isn't a film, but a pretty entertaining TV show.
My Wife Is A Gangster (product link) Action/Adventure / Girls With Guns i don't understand why people rate this film so high. It's a really below-average film. I did not enjoy it at all. Some of the humour is very boring, gives you a feeling of trying too hard. The action is very fake, leaving me unsatisfied. Not recommended. Watch the Korean film "200 Pounds Beauty" instaed!

Do you use some sort of template to write your reviews? They are pretty much all the same. One would think after that much practice writing the same thing, you would become more comprehensible.
