SYNOPSIS:
The tiresome tale begins when a troupe of acrobats are bullied while performing in town. The leader of the troupe is killed and his two daughters vow to avenge their father's death. Ho hum, shall I continue? One of the leading bullies takes more than a passing interest in the girls (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) and the he begins to harass them. The girls ask their brother, a devout Buddhist monk to take their slain father's place and avenge his death but he refuses like the cold-hearted brute that he is. Later, everyone stops having fun when the bully loses an eye, literally and the troupe is wiped out in retaliation. The girl's brother finally gets his master's blessing to go out into the world and kick butt for justice when this atrocity is learned of. They rest is all a whirl of bad editing as the plot dissolves into a series of lackluster fight scenes that inspired me to start writing this review before the film was over.
REVIEW:
When good kung fu goes bad and bad dubbing gets worse. All the dubbing is cheaply layered over the old track and sounds completely out of place. The voice acting is the worst I have heard yet and English dialogue like, "We're being pursued by baddies" is so juvenile its painful. 'Baddies'... ugh! The action is poorly choreographed and emphasizes riding skills and acrobatics more than martial arts. The only interesting feature was the setting which often featured interesting ruins that were completely wasted on this film. Take my advice, get a shovel and bury this one for good. Even die-hard genre fans will have a hard time digesting this heartburn-inducing entrée. |
