 |  |  |  |  This kung fu movie has a standard plot, but above average fight choreography. This flick also has way more genital grabbing/twisting scenes than the average guy may be comfortable with. If you can stomach that, 10 Tigers of Shaolin is a worthy addition to your collection, I actually prefer it to the similar Shaw Brothers movie "10 Tigers of Kwangtung". | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  This movie could and should have been a whole lot better. The story that this movie was based on is really good and intricate, but they just happened to make it a boring movie. The fighting scenes should have been better considering all the high class talent there were in this movie. Not one of them stole the show. It was a okay for the time period I guess. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

Basically, this story is about a corrupt town. Apparently, Lord Yuen runs things there. Everyone is corrupt, even the town doctor, who refuses to help 1 of the 10 Tigers when he is wounded in a fight. Anyway, there are also a huge group of guys in light blue uniforms who follow Lord Yuen's orders. I don't know if they are police, Lord Yuen's guards, or what.... Also, I believe this film was originally in widescreen, because on this full screen release there are plenty of times when people will be conversating and 1 guy isn't even on the screen. This is definitely worth watching. 5 things you will remember after seeing this movie:
- Althought they are called The 10 Tigers, everyone seems to be using the "Snake Style". You constantly see them forming "Snake Fangs" with thier hands in battle, and 1 guy goes as far as to spit in an opponent's face! As if he had venom hahahah, crazy!
- The town doctor uses some type of "Crazy Doctor" technique. He just rolls his eyes around like a retard praying while 2 of the tigers drill his face with punches. Then he unleashes on em with the quickness. Haha.. must see!
- The 10 tiger's have a pupil. His wife is hot. Lord Yuen wants her for himself. He and his men kidnap her. When the 10 tigers come looking for her, there is a naked chick (prolly a prostitute) in her place.
- One of the tiger's apparently loves to grab guys balls, he does it at least twice to at least 3 different men on seperate occassions during battle.
- It's sad that in american movies you rarely see an asian woman in a big role. Well there is a chick in here who helps the ten tigers... She HOT andcan kick butt!
Only reason I gave this film a 4 [stars out of 5] and not 5 was the high pitched horns in the BG music can get annoying. Please take into consideration how old this film is and when it was made when judging it. It's good for a laugh and some kung-fu action. |
