Member David Rees Posted March 2, 2011 Member Share Posted March 2, 2011 King Boxer is definately the best of the three..all time classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted March 2, 2011 Member Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hmmm...they're all pretty even to me. Early 70s is my favorite era of Shaws, so I love all three. If Chinese Boxer gets a decent R1 release that removes the crappy Casio keyboard/Celestial audio tampering, and I could hear the original score, that one would probably be my favorite.

Member bigrogie Posted March 2, 2011 Member Share Posted March 2, 2011 I like all three. My order of preference (close call between 1 & 2!): 1 - Chinese boxer 2 - King Boxer 3 - Thunderbolt Fist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Shawoholic Posted March 2, 2011 Author Member Share Posted March 2, 2011 KyFi said all are even:smile:...I guess King Boxer has heavy reputation and so does chinese boxer(both great movies) so thunderbolt fist is out of league in popularity....moviewise it is not!!!!

Member Fang Shih-yu Posted March 2, 2011 Member Share Posted March 2, 2011 1 King Boxer 2 Thunderbolt Fist 3 Chinese Boxer I give the same rankings, though they are separated just fractionally in my mindset! The Thunderbolt Fist is the "sleeper" of the three and needs to be sought out by those who've yet to get it! The Image DVD has a good English dub that's hilarious in spots; it's more raucous than the Mandarin dub, but both have their virtues! Shih Szu kicks major butt, and the ending is as gruesome as it is appropriate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Nakadai Posted March 2, 2011 Member Share Posted March 2, 2011 I was disappointed with Chinese Boxer. Wang Yu can get so repetitive. There really wasn't anything there that he hasn't covered elsewhere, better. At face value it's enjoyable, just nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member bobo Posted March 3, 2011 Member Share Posted March 3, 2011 maybe you should have included SACRED KNIVES OF VENGEANCE, as it had very similar atmosphere and action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Shawoholic Posted March 3, 2011 Author Member Share Posted March 3, 2011 maybe you should have included SACRED KNIVES OF VENGEANCE, as it had very similar atmosphere and action. I forgot that one..for good reasonI have seen it last time some 20 years ago from (cut?) uk tape with so-so quality.Would love to view it again definitely:bigsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Nakadai Posted March 4, 2011 Member Share Posted March 4, 2011 Not surprising King Boxer is way in the lead. I still need to watch Thunderbolt Fist however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 66 Mantis Posted March 7, 2011 Member Share Posted March 7, 2011 King Boxer by a mile. My all time favorite (my avatar probably gives it away). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted March 8, 2011 Member Share Posted March 8, 2011 These films all have similar themes... Each is in my collection and share a special place. I must admit, upon the first viewing of Thunderbolt Fist... That ending! Whoa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
