Member Yakuza954 Posted October 24, 2008 Member Share Posted October 24, 2008 This is probably my favorite Korean martial arts film. Cool title, war-time setting, non-stop kicking, Karate fighters, Hwang Jang Lee in one of his first roles, and best of all, an absolutely insane bad guy who eats live fish -- what more could you want? The only negative I can think of is that this movie has one of the poorer dubs I can think of.. you forget about it though after the first 10 spinning heel kicks.

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted October 24, 2008 Member Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have to see this. NOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted November 3, 2008 Member Share Posted November 3, 2008 I just watched this movie. I got the Trinity DVD, and I don't know why, but I was expecting really bad pic quality, but I was pleasently surprised. It's full screen, but that didn't bother me much, and the pic quality is just fine. Thanks for posting your thoughts yakuza954, I had to get it right away after I read what you said, and I was not disappointed. Recommended to fans of kick fighting movies. Pretty good (and crazy) action. The lead actor is amazing. And of course I have to mention Hwang Jang Lee. A bit hard to recognize him with the white hair, but he does pretty good in his 2 fight scenes (he plays the white haired guy who fights at the beginning of the movie, and he also has a fight towards the end as a tournament fighter. Both short fights). And yakuza you are totally right about the dub. HORRIBLE!! One more thing. I've tried my hardest to forget Bruce and Shaolin Kung Fu 1 and 2, but I'm pretty sure this movie has the same villain. This guy's acting takes cheesiness to a whole new level :D And it looks like they use some footage from this movie in BRuce and Shaolin Kung Fu, or vice versa "Get him!!". Must have something to do with James Nam I'm guessing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member dragonherb Posted November 4, 2008 Member Share Posted November 4, 2008 I've got the FLK version. Someone knows if that version is uncut or not? It looks like this: First in widescreen (about 3 minutes) After that, fullscreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted November 4, 2008 Member Share Posted November 4, 2008 Is the Trinity DVD the same as the FLK? The pic quality in those screen shots look the same, but the Trinty DVD seems to have a bit cut out at the end, but I don't have any other versions to compare it with.

Member gravedigger666 Posted November 12, 2008 Member Share Posted November 12, 2008 Essential purchase IMO.Movie is about average(never boring or irrating though) until the final when David Kang starts to kick japanese ass big time.Hwang Jang Lee`s role is tiny,but he still gets chance to show his awesome skill:D.Double-kick to the head in tournament could/should be included in any kicking compilation.
