Good wuxia film. King Hu's creative direction style is very distinctive and interesting. "Touch Of Zen" fans should definitely check it out. | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | Y | Great film. I would maybe give it another star but thats just my opinion | AH1706 |

I first saw this movie in the theater when it first came out. I am thrilled that it is now available on DVD. I could not remember the total story except for the ending. The [PanMedia] DVD is great. I am sure that if you like kung fu movies you will enjoy this. | | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

I came to this via the "New Dragon Gate Inn" and thought I had an idea of what to expect. As much as I like the remake, the original took me by surprise. Highly recommended on its own merits and as historical context for so many other movies that followed. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

First saw this flick in 1970 at UC Berkeley. 38 years later and it still has impact. It was different from the Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest flicks. This original version shows less skin than the second version done in the 1990's. It showed Chinese Americans that there was more on the screen than Hollywood's slanted protrayal of Asian men as unmasculine servants with names like "Hey, Boy" or "Hop Sing". Good action with a good storyline. One negative is that the final fight scene did not show how one of the dying "castrated" brothers used the sword that went through his body to help behead the evil Enunch standing behind him. It was very dramatic moment. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

This movie was much sought after--and I finally found it here on this website. It didn't disappoint as I watched it with nostalgia. It's as good as when I watched it as a kid. The story is simple and the direction is outstanding. The action scenes are totally non-CGI so you have to understand that it's not spectacular. All in all, it's a must-see for Chinese swordplay fans. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

The all-time classic that raised the bar for kung-fu films. King Hu should be recognized as one of the great film masters of his generation. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

This film was one that I've heard so much about, however only recently had the pleasure of viewing. King Hu's direction was very innovative, paving the way for films that even today steal his style and technique: see "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Kung Fu Hustle", "House Of Flying Daggers", etc. Bamboo forests were never seen the same... | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

I have been trying to see this film for thirty years. I had only ever seen "A Touch Of Zen". So was it worth the wait? Most definitely. In fact I would recommend the rest of King Hu's films. I just wish it was possible to buy them all as PAL versions. Also "Legend Of The Mountain" is edited to two thirds of the director's original. I would really love to see the full film. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

This is THE classic movie. The remake is okay, but King Hu was the first and still the best. It was my first wuxia film and I love it deeply. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

Being a big fan of the remake I couldn't wait to finally see the original and I wasn't disappointed. This film looks great you would never believe it was made in 1967. Good kung fu, great characters, and one beautiful set after another makes this another King Hu masterpiece. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
