Guest 5th Yang Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 If you think thats fruity...never watch Attack of the Joyful Godess. Seen it, but that was for Chinese Opera reasons. MA is more of a serious tone movie but if you guys like the Tammy Faye Baker look, more power to you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sandpalm79 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Well the makeup is also heavy in flag of iron its just on 7th generation bootlegs i could never tell. I dont mind it.

Member Brigadier Chow Posted May 19, 2007 Member Share Posted May 19, 2007 Me neither, forget about make up, these dudes masculinity have always been in question, like how they all take a bath together in Magnificent Ruffians.:rollin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sevenhooks Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 like how they all take a bath together in Magnificent Ruffians. I would chalk that one up to one of Chang Cheh's twisted, perverted fantasy moments. Dude was the Shaw Brothers version of Larry Clark. He just seemed to have a thing for musclular males without shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NinjaForce Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Like everyone else I can’t wait to get me hands on this one. Masked Avengers is one of my all time favourites. It’s imo one of the best Venoms films ( and that’s saying something ). With the Venoms you always get incredible action, but not always plotlines of the highest order, here everything comes together perfectly and the action almost surpasses the venoms own high standards. The film is dark, full of atmosphere and totally engrossing as a suspense thriller. MA is full of neat little touches that just elevate it out of the ordinary. The Bosses entrances in the finale are simply magical. HAZ74 asked earlier if it’s better than Crippled Avengers, for me it’s one of those Venoms films like 5 Venoms, Crippled Avengers, KWTGA, 5 Element Ninjas, that as soon as I’ve finished watching it, it becomes my favourite Venoms film. I suppose you can say from a technical point of view MA’s action is superior to CA ( although I love the action of CA just as much ). I believe MA was made in 1980 two years after CA, so it’s slightly faster. It has all of the qualities we love from the Venoms, powerful no nonsense movements within a complex and dynamic choreography, executed here with an almost unbelievable crisp sharpness and natural speed at it’s fastest. From start to finish the finale is so good I could watch it all day long. Imo this film features one of the finest weapons performances ever to grace the silver screen, not to be missed.

Guest carl douglas Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Is this kung fu or weapons base. I couldn't see much hand to hand combat in reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Brigadier Chow Posted May 24, 2007 Member Share Posted May 24, 2007 This is a film that mostly shows the Venoms prolific talent in Tiawanese Opera and use of esoteric weapons (ie. Trident). There is very little hand to hand fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
