Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted November 7, 2010 Member Share Posted November 7, 2010 Boxer From Shantung and BA 2 are good, I haven't seen the other 2 movies. BA 3 is easily my favorite of the series, and not just because of the superb end fight. It is a very fun movie with a good story, Kuo Choi is hilarious in it, and Ti Lung has a good role. What other movie will you get to see Ti Lung play a monk with a shaved head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted November 7, 2010 Member Share Posted November 7, 2010 Boxer from Shantung is a must-get IMO, it is an old school basher with great rags to riches to axe in gut story. Insanely violent for 1972. I've never been crazy about the Brave Archer series. I just don't feel that Chang Che could pull off the super complex/wuxia thing as well as Chor Yen. I don't really like any of them. Iron Bodyguard was OK. Not in the top tier of SB but alright. I haven't seen Spiritual Boxer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron Boat Posted November 7, 2010 Member Share Posted November 7, 2010 Boxer From Shantung is required viewing, Iron Bodyguard is not as violent or action oriented as you'd think, BA and SB I've never had a desire to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Athena Posted November 7, 2010 Member Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hello XTREMEHORSEMAN ! I would recommend to get 3.The Brave Archer 2 4. The boxer from Shantung None of the movies are bad but Iron Bodyguard is not as good as a some of the other ones in my opinion ! I love the whole Brave Archer series & think 2 is good ! Hope you get happy with your final choices !! Xiexie, Athena.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 My ratings (out of 4): 1 - The Spiritual Boxer *** 2 - Iron Bodyguard *** 3 - The Brave Archer 2 **.5 4 - The Boxer from Shantung **.5 Also how good is Brave Archer 3 compaired to the first 2? It's easier to follow that Part 2. Part 4 is the poorest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Shantung has great scenes... but is overlong. Worth it for the bloodsoaked finale alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member make believe Posted November 8, 2010 Member Share Posted November 8, 2010 You really can't go wrong with Boxer from Shantung. It is a long movie but thankfully it doesn't drag or get boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted November 8, 2010 Member Share Posted November 8, 2010 Boxer from Shantung is a masterpiece. Spiritual Boxer is kind of fun. I liked the first two Brave Archer movies---did not like part 3 at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
