Member Drunken Monk Posted October 28, 2008 Member Share Posted October 28, 2008 I just wanted some opinions on these movies. I don't often see them talked about and was tempted to buy them. Hard Bastard Buddha's Palm & Dragon Fist Drunken Arts and Crippled Fist Duel of the Ultimate Weapons Abbot White Arhats in Fury Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venomsfreak Posted October 28, 2008 Member Share Posted October 28, 2008 What version of Abbot White were you going to get? The dubbed one? From what I've heard the dubbed one is terrible, you can hear the original dialogue under the dubbing and it's pretty bad. You're better off with the subbed version, but even then it's only a so so movie. The best part is the monk detaching his arm to kill people with. Can't help you with the rest of the titles sorry.

Member HAZ Posted October 28, 2008 Member Share Posted October 28, 2008 Arhats in Fury is a good mainland film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TheManInWhite Posted October 28, 2008 Member Share Posted October 28, 2008 Of the two Lee Yi Min titles (Buddha's Palm and Drunken Arts), Buddha's Palm is the better film IMO. He co-stars with Chi Kuan Chun. And the villain is pretty good also (the guy who played Long Axe in Kid with the Golden Arm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted October 28, 2008 Member Share Posted October 28, 2008 The 2 best movies have been mentioned. Buddha's Palm and Dragon Fist is a nonstop shape fest. I counted something like 11 major fight scenes. Ahrats in fury is a good, almost great wushu movie. Kind of a weird, and it may take a few viewings to fully understand, but a powerful movie that is well worth watching more than once. Hard Bastard and Duel of Ultimate Weapns are worth checking out if you are a big Hwang Jang Lee fan. Bad movies, but I enjoyed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted October 28, 2008 Author Member Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thank you gentlemen. I had heard bad things about the Abbot White dub track but wasn't sure if it was that bad. Considering the movie isn't wonderful, maybe I'll put that off until a later purchase. I saw a clip from Hard Bastard showing Hwang Jang Lee in massive, bell bottom flares. That could be worth the price alone. Thanks for the confirmation on BPDF and Arhats in Fury. I think I'll pick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
