36 reasons why I didn't like the film "The 36 Deadly Styles":

First, the opening sequence was way too long and boring. Second, there were countless scenes that had no real meaning. Fourth, the [Mei Ah] subtitles should have been proofread.

Fifth, regarding fight scenes, most seemed to be inserted just to add action to the film with no real build-up.

However, one good note about the action in the film was the training sequences that showed the leads practicing martial arts forms and techniques.

The sixth reason I didn't care for this film was the comical hair and make up. Bolo ("Enter the Dragon", "Bloodsport") in a red weave?!! Need I say more?!

Reasons 7 through 36 are that the film had no coherency whatsoever, and failed to deliver on at least 30 more reasons, even with some notable character actors like Hwang Jang Lee. Hate to say it, but you can skip this one.

I love this movie, especially the end style. Two snakes from the grave! Great fight scene!

This movie is pretty poor. Even by independent kung fu movie standards.

Cheung Lik is uninteresting as a leading man. Bolo looks ridicilous in that awful dreadlock wig. And the whole thing just looks cheaper than usual.

But at least the fights deliver... right? Wroooong...! The Jack and Mark Long fight is really a subpar effort for them. And even the finalé with the great Hwang Jang Lee is disappointing.

Joseph Kuo has made his share of cool indie kung fu classics. This is NOT one of them.

Joseph Kuo is one of my favorite kung fu film directors, but this movie was a bit stupid! The Long brothers fight scene was the only thing good about this movie! And seeing two guys in western women's wigs was funny!

With a name like "The 36 Deadly Styles" and the accompanying box art, your mouth starts to water. Yet you will likely be somewhat disappointed. The fighting in the first and middle reels is good, but not great. I found myself fast-forwarding through most the film --- a bad sign. The plot is passable. Things get rockin' in the final reel and really rockin' in the last few minutes. Is that enough to buy the film? Add fan-favorite Jack Long to the mix, and you'll probably want this one.
