Member HAZ Posted September 17, 2009 Member Share Posted September 17, 2009 Does anyone know if Mei Ah put out Rikisha Kuri on VCD or DVD? Flashlegs has a DVD of this one. The plot is somewhat similar to Shao Lin Kung Fu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Omni Dragon Posted September 17, 2009 Member Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think it was released in '81 or '82. The lead actor who plays the young warrior protecting the princess was also in War Of The Shaolin Temple (the Tai Seng DVD) from around 1980. KFS how do you know it's a rip-off of Jet Li's Shaolin Temple because it was 82 Li's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Li's film was earlier, like from 1979 or 1980. I've seen different dates attributed to his first film. Either way, they both have similar story lines. As to who ripped off who, I'm not 100% sure. KFS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted October 27, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 27, 2020 I recently had an old-school binge which included the Kuo flick 'Dragon's Claws' with Hwang Jang Lee. I gave it the full review treatment over at COF - https://cityonfire.com/dragons-claws-1979-review/ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the great work @One Armed Boxer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Yuen Qiu in there (well, she always gives a good performance). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Super Ninja Posted October 28, 2020 Member Share Posted October 28, 2020 I noticed fans in this thread complaining about Kuo's usage of frame cutting or frame clipping in the fights. What does it mean, same thing as undercranking? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s when frames are actually removed to create the illusion of fast movement, but it always looks like garbage 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not a Joseph Kuo production the Lee Tso-Nam directed Shaolin Invincible sticks is a prime example.(good film though)🙏 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member morpheus Posted November 3, 2020 Member Share Posted November 3, 2020 Seven Grandmasters is definitely a keeper. I like Li I-Min and felt that he really should have had more films to his name. Jack Long Sai Ga and Mark Long Kuan Wu are excellent as well. The martial arts talent in that film was awesome with Corey Yuen Kwai as stunt director and having a minor role. Of course seeing Nancy Yen Ju Ju was the frosting on the cake. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
