Member Flashlegs Pete Jr Posted June 17, 2008 Member Share Posted June 17, 2008 I really enjoyed this movie but I think the staring role should have been Lo Leih for sure....Chuen Yuen has a really bad screen presence IMO!!! but I suppose Shih Szu made of for his terrible acting See Trailer.. Anyone with a view on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venoms5 Posted June 17, 2008 Member Share Posted June 17, 2008 Decent enough basher that tends to drag in places only picking up the pace when gore is splashed across the screen. I remember seeing it on the Black Belt Feature years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I think this is a Korean co-production but can't find any evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted June 17, 2008 Member Share Posted June 17, 2008 I quite enjoy this for the gore and Shih szu. The lead actor isn't too awful but his rugged Eastwood look doesn't match his mild performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Lo Lieh Posted June 22, 2008 Member Share Posted June 22, 2008 I thought this was a decent enough film. I never thought of it before but Lo Lieh would have been perfect for this role. It almost could have been a sequel to King Boxer somehow?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Winfred Posted July 1, 2008 Member Share Posted July 1, 2008 I prefer Chuan Yuan to Chao Hsiung anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Neither of them are leading man material. Chao is a good villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member bobo Posted August 3, 2008 Member Share Posted August 3, 2008 cover for thunderbolt fist--IMAGE release--NOV. 11th/2008. yes--it will have the english dub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member magicpoe Posted August 3, 2008 Member Share Posted August 3, 2008 Glad to hear they sourced the dub from somewhere. When I spoke with Image they were looking for the dub but said that Celestial didn't have it available. Hopefully Celestial came through for them with the original tapes for the English dubbing sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase "Rip-Off" seems to have always been used when speaking about Kung Fu films. Did you ever think about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mantis FIST Posted November 11, 2008 Member Share Posted November 11, 2008 I almost picked this up today at best buy, but I wanted to make sure it has an original dub. Has anyone got this yet or reviewed it? It said on the back that it is english dubbed, I just don't want a new dub ala come drink with me. Cheers!

Member lightning hopkins Posted November 12, 2008 Member Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm no expert, but to my amateur ears it sure sounded like the usual crew of Shaws seventies voices on the Image English dub track. While I'm sure the disc suffers from the same audio-visual issues that people have complained about with the other Image releases, the dub really gives THUNDERBOLT FIST a nice grindhouse feel that fits with the classic old-fashioned basher look of the film, and makes it one of the better Image Shaws offerings -- all that's missing are sticky floors, distant sirens, and the faint hint of pot smoke to recreate that perfect seventies 42nd Street movie viewing experience.

Member mantis FIST Posted November 12, 2008 Member Share Posted November 12, 2008 Cool. Thanks lightning hopkins! I thought it would have the 70s crew of dubbers but I just wanted to make sure. I am buying the dvd for two reasons only. 1. to supports shaw releases in the USA and 2. to get the english dub. I WILL not buy a shaw in the USA without the original english dubbing! Cheers!
