Guest Yi-Long Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Is this once again a TV-series turned into a movie, or an actual movie!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kaleyboy Posted July 21, 2010 Member Share Posted July 21, 2010 Looks like a cut & paste job of the TV show, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member rdenn Posted July 21, 2010 Member Share Posted July 21, 2010 yep another tv condensed into a movie, worth getting though, good kung in the series and the eagle claw man from champions is great in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yi-Long Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Damn, that's just horrible. Why don't they just sub the whole series and release it here!? Most martial arts fan would probably lap it up, including me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member gorhama Posted July 21, 2010 Member Share Posted July 21, 2010 If all the fights are intact....I'll pick it up to watch Yuen Biao fighting again. That said, why is Tai Seng not releasing the entire TV series? Come on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Member Share Posted July 21, 2010 Come on guys... This mainstream world strives on AVATAR on KARATE KID REMAKES; releasing it in its entirety is against the average public. This is why I'm down for bootlegs when it comes to cases like this.

So you think the average public is now going for this Yuen Biao 'movie'!? I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted July 21, 2010 Administrator Share Posted July 21, 2010 Questions... Are these the same thing, and are they all related?: SHAO LIN SI CHUAN QI (Episode : 1 to 24) SHAO LIN SI CHUAN QI II (Episode : 1 to 50) SHAO LIN SI CHUAN QI ZHI LUAN SHI YING XIONG (Episode : 1 to 22) I had heard that there were three seasons of the show. Is that right? And is Yuen Biao in all three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted July 22, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2010 I believe he only has a smaller role/cameo in the third one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted November 21, 2010 Member Share Posted November 21, 2010 Picked up this movie haven't had a chance to watch it though, but I agree with everyone why not just release the entire TV Series with English subtitles?

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted July 13, 2014 Member Share Posted July 13, 2014 Here's a mini-review I posted almost 4 yrs ago. Hope it helps. KUNG FU MASTER (2010) Stars: Yuen Biao, Bryan Leung, Ji Chunhua, and Leung Kar Yan (at least I think it's him). Mandarin and English dubs with English subs. Running time ---- 95 mins. Warning: Some spoilers may appear. Yuen Biao plays Tan Zong, a Buddhist monk of great repute in martial arts. How great? His chi gung makes him impervious to blades. He is called to the Grand Commandant (LKY) to become the drill instructor for his troops. This is a false pretense as the GC wants to destroy the Shaolin's monastery. Zong arrives in town with his dimwitted, fat pupil and is immediately lured to a section that is a ghost town. There his pupil is kidnapped and he is attacked by all manner of assorted assassin clans. (There's an assassin using a coffin; a deadly seductress; assassins using clawed gloves; a musician with a spear-wielding student; an assassin clan using bladed umbrellas; and black potato sack masked assassins.) This is all in the 1st half hour. From there he goes to rescue his pupil from the last group of assassins and their green demon masked leader. Then on arriving at the GC's, there's a pile of benches in the courtyard. 60 soldiers (I counted) pick them up and then attack him in a variety of formations. In a 2nd courtyard he must cross a catwalk constructed of benches. Then he has to cross a hallway the walls of which are lined with skulls from which spears shoot out. Finally in a 3rd courtyard he meets the GC. They engage in foot fu so that Zong can prevent him from stepping on an ant. He then graciously refuses a challenge to duel with the GC and instead does so with General Renza in an armory. (I thought this might become reminiscent of the Yoeh/Ziyi duel in CT/HD but it did not.) After passing all the tests he is then jailed for politely refusing the position to train the GC's troops which are sent under Gen. Renza's command to assault the monastery. A handful of monks escape and go to the GC's palace and rescue Zong. They then face innumerable soldiers but mow them down (literally).They in turn assault the palace which leads to another confrontation with Gen. Renza and finally a big fight between Zong and the GC. I was impressed with the amount of action in this movie. I'm not kidding when I say it was nonstop. Let me put it this way: there's more fighting than there is talking and that's no lie. Having said that let me qualify it with this..........there's a good deal of wire work (actually there's a great deal of it). This picture is really in the wuxia vein. I'd compare it to Jet Li's OUTIC series but the story's not as good. It's great to see Biao in action again but it is painfully obvious that he's being doubled for a good portion of his fights though it is difficult to tell sometimes just when. Still, there's a lot of good kung fu on display here. If they make a 2nd one...........I'd watch it. (And I'm not a big fan of wuxia stuff.) It's definitely better than some of his films such as "Deadful Melody" and "The Peacock King" and it absolutely smokes "Millennium Dragon". If it's not something you care to purchase, it's surely worth a rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
