Member ShaOW!linDude Posted January 2, 2012 Member Share Posted January 2, 2012 THE INSPECTOR WEARS SKIRTS (1988) --- one of the villains (may have been Jeffrey Falcon) uses Mantis style during the end fight against Sibelle Hu and the other girls.

Member wongfeihung62 Posted January 2, 2012 Member Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think 7 Grand Masters has Mantis fist in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Kung-Fu Scholar Posted January 2, 2012 Author Member Share Posted January 2, 2012 INVINCIBLE SHAOLIN (unbeatable dragon) Actually that's southern mantis fist not the same thing as northern mantis. My mistake though. Should have made the distinction. THE INSPECTOR WEARS SKIRTS (1988) --- one of the villains (may have been Jeffrey Falcon) uses Mantis style during the end fight against Sibelle Hu and the other girls. Falcon uses monkey fist against Cynhia Rothrock (who uses eagle claw against him). Monkey's leg works is identical to mantis fist however. As for 7 Grand Masters I check it out. Thanks,.

Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted January 20, 2012 Member Share Posted January 20, 2012 MANTIS FIST AND TIGER CLAWS OF SHAOLIN I luv the intro cartoon mantis definition of a Praying Mantis. IMO this is darn good flix! And if I recollect correctly the main villain is 'everybody's favorite, a certain Mr. Dean Shek. Who BTW is quite good as a straight laced no comedy villain. Yes I am correct Boy Wonder.....Gollie Je Batman, that man Shek is a real villain in this one. Lets see if we can take him down Batman..... Wait just wait... Boy Wonder.... first we must see if he begins to annoy us with those dreadful comic antics of his ..... THEN Boy Wonder.... SMAK! BLAM! POW! BHHHUMP! that will be the end of the Shekawreck in kung fu cinema...Right Batman patience is king of kung fu here. LOL! (maybe)? And John Chang is simply terrific here! Don't know if on your list THIS may have and alternate title...Typed in search on You Tube::Mantis fist kung fu movies.....this was the first entry....try there..... may be some more....good luck! GD Y-Y P.S. MY earlier remarks about Mr. Shek. I still stand by them! 05-25-2009, 11:30 AM I do like him because in the early years of watching these movies seeing this guy being so wacko was NEW & FRESH. As the years rolled along and several hundred kung fu movies digested he became a very recognized face in the crowd. Unfortunately most of you began to detest him. (1-20-12 not sure that 'most' of you DH)? I think he must be highly skilled to pull off the stuff he did over the years for that he has earned my respect. Like him or not he is quintessential in the art of comedy & kung fu. quin·tes·sen·tial [kwin-tuh-sen-shuhl] Show IPA adjective 1. of the pure and essential essence of something: the quintessential Jewish delicatessen. 2. of or pertaining to the most perfect embodiment of something: the quintessential performance of the Brandenburg Concertos.
