Member kungfusamurai Posted May 14, 2010 Member Share Posted May 14, 2010 I finished rewatching it. The mandarin version I have has subs that are unreadable, so I didn't follow the story closely. But I do remember it from before. Carter Wong's fighting was okay. He didn't do anything intricate. If his character did any somersaults, you could see it was Alan Tsui doubling for him. Lo Lieh was doubled significantly in his second fight against Jack Long. Too much frame cutting for me to call this a classic. When a movie is chopped up like that, I think of it as being broken. I mean, he was even frame cutting Alan Tsui vs the two Yuens! What the heck was Kuo expecting from everyone? He should have just undercranked or sped up the film in post-production. It just looks so stupid with everything jump cutting all over the place. I give Born Invincible a 2/5. The plot isn't anything spectacular, but I would have given it 4/5 if the fights weren't frame cut. And it loses a point for ugly hair: the Yuens, and Jack Longs lop-sided hairdo.
