Summary: Talk about a kicking movie
Comment: Tan Tao Liang - no wonder he's nicknamed Flash Legs. Jeez, this guy can hold a leg up in the air and kick repeatedly, without putting it down, just like a boxer uses his jab. Really, you just have to see this guy. The other guys are okay, but this is Tan's movie. The choreography isn't bad, there's no ridiculous Chinese humor, and the dubbing works - what more could you want? Okay, by today's standards, there's no spectacular flying kicks (or flying at all - no wires), the fights are slower paced, and the villain is drawn so over the top he's quite laughable, but if your thing's kicking martial arts, this is a movie that'll have you hitting your pause and replay buttons.

Summary: If only the Tommy Lee of kung fu cinema were as recognized as the drummer of Motley Crue
Comment: At least my world would be a much better place. The guy's choreography is up there with anybody ever. He was certainly top 10. And just like a lot of others, he would star in the movies himself. Lee tso-nan's creation of Tommy's hunchback fighter is so weird and wonderful. Not the best 2 on 1 fight ever like the dvd case says, but AWESOME for it's time.
I have to agree with beckyboy saying that the fights are great as is the story. But the picture is anythign but. Full screened which sucks casue with tan tao's legs flying every which way, you need it widescreeend. Picture quality for the tai seng version is not remastered but still very watchable.
So I don't want to give away the story cause it is oh so good. Revenge will take place but a with a real storyline. The voice dubbing of Tommy's hunchback ghost like character is classic and also look out for Phillip Ko getting beat down by dorian tan over and over.
A few minutes longer than your average kugn fu tale but Lee Tso Nan shows to be the top independent kung fu maker ever in my opinion over Joseph Kuo by his ability to tell a good story.

Summary: Old "Skool " Kung Fu!!
Comment: To give this flick anything less than 4 stars,,,that would only make me another follower,,,which apparently is the trend on Amazon. If the first guy (reviewer) started off with 2 or 3 stars,,,others tend to follow that trend,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT ME,,,,I WRITE IT AS I SEE IT PERIOD,,cuz I know my old school kung fu!!
This flick has a great plot, amazing fights scenes and the dvd transfer chrystal. Having said that to give this flick anything less than 4 stars would be a gross dis-service. Tan tao Liang performed brilliantly in this,,,,trust me,,take a chance and check it out,,,you will walk away nothing less than satisfied!! You could put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!

Summary: 2 1/2 stars actually
Comment: Well this movie was ok... No where near a classic to me. I recommend "Challenge of Death"; it was a better movie then this one.

Summary: "Warm, Cold, and not really Vicious at all!"
Comment: This was an okay Kung Fu flick. Some of the fighting scenes kind of lame and predictable! Plot was also predictable right up to the end. Acting not bad - seen better in other Kung Fu films. DVD crossover could have been a bit better though. I can't stand that "Ocean Shores" name and logo that seem to pop up in the middle of the screen and stays there until you begin to get sick of looking at it.
The villan, Tommy Lee (I think this is his name), looked like total CRAP! This bum just comes out of nowhere. That old drunk in Drunken Master looked better than he did and he was paid to look drunk!!!!!! What was Tommy's excuse? Yea, what's up with the white ghost face overdone makeup? He looked like uneven chalk marks was smacked across his face. Also, what's up with that fake echo projected voice? His overdubs totally SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!! That, in my opinion made him look and sound more like a real idiot than a true villan. This flick could have went on normally without him having the fake limp added to his already shabby appearance - his limp did not show up at all while he was fighting. What was the limp all about anyway? And that hump in his back? Come on! Seriously guys, I can deal with the jumping off and onto three-story rooftops and some of the bad wig jobs, but overall, I'm happy that the ghostface killer in "Ninja Checkmate" didn't look like this bum!
This is no where near a 5 star-rated film and giving it a 3 perhaps might be too generous. Not surely in my top 5% either.
The Kung Fu captain had pretty good kicking abilities. It was this that forced me to give this film a 3.
