Guest Chinatown Kid Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 This is a classic 80's flick and my favorite "Ninja" film of all time. Definately Conan's best! Great Yuen Woo Ping fight choreography, my only complaint is I thought HJL was under utilized in the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yakuza954 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I didn't know Yuen Woo Ping choreographed it. I thought it was Corey Yuen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Opps, I guess I got my Yuens mixed up Yakuza, I knew it was one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest killer meteor Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Corey Yuen directed it - I think it was his debut Really enjoyable film - this is one of the few I prefer in English. And yes, that's the original title. The HKL DVD is the best and not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morgoth Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 C-Town kid- I wasn't disappointed with Hwang because it was like the movie ended, and then you get all these bonus fights, including Hwang! And this is definitely where the ear thing from Reservoir Dogs comes from. You have to get this Ivy Ling. One of the best kung fu movies ever. Shaka Ninja.

Guest gfanikf Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Actually I still need to see it, but heres a consolation picture of Conan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kungfusamurai Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Is that a pistol conan's packing in his pants or is he just happy to see Leslie Cheung? KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GwaiLoMoFo Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Excellent flick! Love the mix of classic ninja and kung fu action. The HKL disc is a must own. And gfanikf, this isnt the first (but hopefully last) time you've shared this photo with us. One of your favs huh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Oh no, not the gay stuff again :rollin Well I'm glad you didn't find HJL's fight disappointing Morgoth but Hwang's fight is just way to short imo and I was hoping to see more from him. It was nice to see him in that cameo role though, a little is better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chen Zhen Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 hands down my fav ninja movie, and one of my old skool favs. Corey Yuen did a great job with the choreography and direction of the movie. just dont go watching this expecting it to be a hwang movie, cuz it isnt....but as always he rocks. yeah conan lee was great in it, but i think the REAL winner in this movie was Hiroyuki/Henry Sanada. he was friggin good in this all around and he impressed me more than conan.

Guest The Running Man Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hiroyuki Sanada was so great at handling the high standards of HK action. A shame he only did one other HK film and not more so that his physical talents could really be put to use and be filmed right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ivy Ling Po Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Can't find Gay Hero in Conan Lee's filmography? Is it known by any other title? Thanks for the advice......I have ordered Ninja In Dragon's Den. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stormybman Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Everybody now...." The theme song...." :rollin !!! It's one of the best for a kung fu film of all time, right up there with Man From Hong Kong, Black Belt Jones, Blood of the Dragon, and The Dragon Lives... Hey, that's a good thread, best kung fu film soundtracks...I have come for the revenge of my master, this doesn't concern you, so I'll allow you to leave...

Member Omni Dragon Posted April 30, 2009 Member Share Posted April 30, 2009 I saw this film long time ago & like it very much also it's based on 1 of my all time favourite shaw bros film & probably all time fave of Gordon Liu Heroes of the East.

Guest WuxiaFan Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'm interested. Can anyone recommend a good version? If you have a universal player that will properly convert PAL to NTSC, the Hong Kong Legends (HKL) is the best version. If you're looking for an R1, I'm not sure. If you are region-free (universal), then you'll want to check amazon.uk.co, chaos.com, or hongkong-store.com for the largest collections of HKL discs. HKL is out of business, so any retailer that has them is limited to stock on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
