One of the things I hated about this film was the male protagonist. God, what a fruitcake! Maybe I would have been more convinced if he dressed up like a girl and kicked ass, much like how women dress up like men and kick ass. Reverse sexism is kung fu films. I like that, let me write that down.

The kung fu action was really fun, with lots of swordfights and magical kung fu. Some will be disappointed by it because yes this is a fanasty/kung fu film which utilizes wires, camera effects... Others will be disappointed by the notion that the final fight scene is nothing but people flying around and shooting lasers at each other. It does sometimes kill it for me when these films just want to titillate you with these stupid effects, but considering this film is consistent with my mindset, I accepted it.

If you like films like "Battle Wizard" or "Zu: Warriors Of The Magic Mountain" then look no further as you delve deep into the bowels of insanity which is this film, "Holy Flame Of The Martial World". I found this film to be purely insane and fun with lots of great costuming, characters, and plentiful weapons kung fu action. But if you hate weird shit, then avoid!
