Member Chris Posted August 28, 2009 Member Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hey all - just wanting to know about some movies, if they're worth picking up. Either I can't find any reviews for these, or the reviews are wildly varying. Please let me know if you feel any merit repeated viewings, or if any are just bad (feel free to elaborate)! -Duel of Ultimate Weapons (good Hwang Jang Lee movie?) -Tough Guy (1972) -Rikisha Kuri (Joseph Kuo) -Shaolin Kingboxer -6 Directions of Boxing -Heroes in the Ming Dynasty -18 Fatal Strikes -Bloody Fist (1972) -Arhats in Fury -Shaolin Devil, Shaolin Angel I'm into the typical popular movies on here - Chang Cheh, Liu Chia-Liang, Yuen Wo-Ping. I usually dislike modern settings (cars, guns). The last movie I saw and loved was Lackey & the Lady Tiger. The last movie I saw and hated was Two Assassins of the Darkness. I know an all-around consensus is impossible but any insights would be helpful - thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jiujitsu77 Posted August 28, 2009 Member Share Posted August 28, 2009 ANY movie with Hwang Jang Lee in it is totally worth picking up. for the most part, i think its a filmmark flick (thomas tang?). DOTUW is a very good korean production. i would recommend picking it up even if it is a budget label dvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jiujitsu77 Posted August 28, 2009 Member Share Posted August 28, 2009 Arhats in fury is kinda....meh...but still worth it if you are, again, buying a budget label dvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted September 2, 2009 Member Share Posted September 2, 2009 For Duel of Ultimate Weapons, get the East West double feature DVD that comes with Last Challenge of the Dragon. Pretty good pic quality, and not dark like other versions. It’s a bad movie, but there’s some funny dubbing, and Hwang unleashes a lot of kicks. “Dong Wan, oh my, the best martial arts fighter in the land.” ---- “Exactly you wimp.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member odioustrident Posted September 2, 2009 Member Share Posted September 2, 2009 Shaolin Devil, Shaolin Angel is one of my favorite kung fu films, but it is not for everyone. It features strange kung fu styles (including one guy who fights with snakes); if that is something you enjoy, just total spectacle all the time, pick up that movie.
