Summary: Not A Classic
Comment: I make sure I watch a movie twice before giving a definite opinion on it.After watching this one I can tell you its not worth buying and maybe not worth renting.Me being a martial arts fan,I like seeing movies I havent seen to see if I find a classic.However with this movie that is just not the case.Whats sad is this movies has some good fighting scenes and I love the old school kung fu movies.Whats better is no one is untouchable and everyone from the stars to the locals get hit in this movie.
But this movie suffers from a corny storyline like many other non classics.It also talks about the seven steps of kung fu and never explain what they actually are.On top of that the whole movie is just a bunch of 2 on 1 fighting.Either the master comes to the aid of the student,or the student comes to the aid of the master.Its okay on the very tough opponents,but all of the 5 hands gang?It gets boring watching 2 on 1 and knowing that eventually the 1 guy will lose.
I like watching the good guys fight 1 on 2 as those are the best scenes.Or the good guys fighting a guy with extraordinary skill at the end of the movie.So as a kung fu fan I can tell you that this is not worth your money.If you can then look for it in a game exchange for a bargain price,then you can return when you see you've wasted your money.Due to the good fighting scenes it earned at least a 3,it also wasnt the worst movie.Just not a classic that you keep and watch over and over again.

Summary: not a good movie, but with my favorite movie martial artist of all time, this deserves it's 4.
Comment: I should give it a 3, but good fights all around and an AWESOME final scene give it a kung fu 5.
Now the kids review deserves to be the only review on here. I bought this based on one guys comments of how he saw this in the theatre and everybody was screaming for the hook technique one more time and damned if he didnt't give it to us one more time!!!
I really got a feeling of what it would have been like to see the hot the cool the viscuos on the big screen. But this movie hliterally has fight after fight. Nowlike i said, that kid below should have the only review on here, he did an awesome job. i know these guys names like the back of my hand but he was able to spot tommy lee in this and a bunhc of guys that I have never even heard of he knew exactly who they are. But most importantly he knows who chen shan is(aka shen chan, chang shan). This is only the 4th movie I have EVER seen him in. The others are five fighters from shaolin, shaloin vs. lama, and shaolin strikes back. Most people know him as the badass tibetan lama from shaolin vs. lama. Now he is absolutely unrecognizeable in this, until he fights, don't try to pull the wool over my eyes. he has a move in the final scene when he goes down to do the splits, and 2 people attack him, he is fighting with both WHILE HE IS COMING UP FROM THE SPLITS.
Don't try to imagine but you will see. So the story is pretty dreary. A kid and his teacher have to take out this gang. And ALL the fights are good. Lung Fei is especially good. But the final fight is UNBELIEVABLE.
AND KID WHO REVIEWED THIS BEFORE ME, IS TONG LONG IN THIS?? I DIDN'T SEE HIM, HE IS THE GUY WHO WAS BRUCE;S VROTHER IN GAME OF DEATH 2. CAN YOU PLEASE POINT HIM OUT TO ME.
So the pictrue quality is kind of bad. No real distortion, just really faded. And it does cut into the chinese dub for dialogue for 20 seconds, but you could tell it was a stupid part. IT IS widescreened which was very nice. Some other comments said it would not play? I have 7 dvd players and I tried them all so I could comment here and the dvd played fine at all. I got this for 9.99 and have to say that you should not pay over like 7 for it. 1 for each step.
AWESOME FIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: top 50 classic of all-time
Comment: to start this off this does have some indescrepencies like the beginning the cast credits just disappear and your just looking at chinese scenery for fun and the underdubbing but it has some greta lines in this movie. and plus this film was directed by the kid who played ko fang in iron swallow co-satrring the beuatiful and tough kung fu queen judy lee aka chia ling and the fight choreography was done by tommy lee (a personal favorite of mine for fight choreogrphers).
this story starts off as a ruthless general and crime boss (chen shan) of a dreaded clan by the name of the "5 hands gang". the 5 hands gang (lung fei, barry chan, tommy lee, wong chi sang and a female actor) meet at on the member's house. then a mischievious young man by the name of young tiger (ricky chi tien chee) discovers a valuable metal after one member drops it (tommy lee). so he practices with it hanging from a fighting pole and then his master li san pei (chia kai) discovers it and automatically recognizes it and was shocked that he caught up with them so fast. so later tommy lee discovers his metal is missing and they find out that it was the young boy who finds and li is his master. so the spearman (wong chi sang) pays a visit to young tiger's house and they duel it out and young tiger kills him. li san pei shows up and tells him he should hide elsewhere and he'll investigate only to be ambushed by the rest of the gang and he miraculously survives the attack and later escapes to young tiger's hideout. he recovers and they master the art of the "7 step style" (1 of the finest training sequences ive ever seen with a little high speed action). then the female member discovers their hideout and she later gets ambushed and they make her realize that she's a traitor so she tells them everything. so 1 by 1 they ambush the rest of the gang starting with barry chan, then tommy lee. then in 1 seen where the english dubs turn into mandarin or cantonese li san pei takes on lung fei's character but he is spared in this movie and turns good. and young tiger takes on 2 lamas that carries out lung fei's and the general's orders on a scroll which is valuable to stopping the general's devious plans. then li san pei uses the metals they collected to distract the general from reaching his destination and then the fun starts with the final fight scene between 2 greatly talented and kung fu masters in chia kai and shen chan then ricky chi tien chee hops into the action making it kinda corny but still fun to watch. a underrated and underappreciated classic that should be in your top 50 indeed.
favorite scenes: chia kai vs. lung fei, ricky chi tien chee vs. wong chi sang, ricky chi tien chee and chia kai's training sequence and of course the final battle. and chia kai steals the show in this one and he is labeled the lee van cleef of martial arts films but most of everything he's been in he's been underused. i am a big fan of his because of this movie and his acting ability is ill too
