TECH NOTES:
92 min. The default aspect ratio is a "forced" widescreen format that may require you to adjust your DVD video settings to view at full screen, without distortion. This version of the film also appears to have been spliced a several scenes. The image displays some film degradation and the resolution is fair. The English dubbed audio track is in mono and features adequate quality. Extras are limited to a chapter index.

The print is just OK, with typical scratches, bleeding colors and over-dark. The film is letterboxed at 1:85:1 but should be at least 2:35:1. Still it's an improvement over the full-frame [VHS version] of the film. Beware: during the final climactic battle the film is missing a section (that would appear substantial). During the fight the villain goes from looking unbattered to suddenly having been savagely bloodied. No attack is seen to show this progress in the battle. Suddenly his sleeves are torn from shoulder to cuffs and splattered in blood, and then the monkey fighter finishes him off! There's no meat with these potatoes! The fight (you've been waiting for the whole film) barely starts before it's over. This problem also flaws the VHS print. It's a fun movie though with good-looking kung fu.

The credits on this one are a mess, with horrible misspellings, names going off the screen, and the whole thing is generally blurry. Consequently, the information we have listed here may or may not be entirely accurate. Whoever was responsible for the credits on this version of the film should be ashamed.
