Summary: Really cool for a low budget kung-fu film----true film
Review: This movie is rather interesting despite the quality of the film. The film is really old but there are many good points to the movie. Here are some of the reasons why.First, I would like to address the accuracy of the film in terms of actual Kung-fu. The Iron Fist kung-fu is a true kung-fu technique. However, even though my title says the movie is true it is true in the sense of how you do iron fist not necessarily based on actual fact of the story. The story of course is fiction and really makes very little sense but the actual working up to be an Iron Fist grandmaster there is some truth to how the movie depicts the training. In reality, Iron fist kills with one hit. And no they dont fly in the air to hit someone like they showed in the movie. The way you train for Iron Fist is correct but they only showed the end of the training. Nobody starts out burning their hands first like he did in the hot coals. Actually that is last in the training. Imagine if it was your first time doing Iron Fist and you had to melt your hands in coals first. Ya right then nobody would learn it. Actually what happens is you work up to that skill then when you burn your hands in coals you already feel nothing. You also train to kill with one hit not 50 hits. BUt of course the movie would be boring if someone hit and killed everyone with one hit. Also the Iron Fist only needed one strike not 50 strikes to actually hit somone but then again it would make a very boring film. Secondly, if you were to train Iron Fist you started with hitting a brick but you laid a piece of cloth on the brick so you wont hurt your hand. Then when you progressed you took the cloth off. Later you hit iron, then again last you burned your hands in coal. After each work out you dipped your hands in herbal chinese medicine to make the injuries you sustained to your hands heal quicker and lessen the pain. Well you get the point. Pros:
-General Accurate Depiction of Iron Fist technique.
-Uses Interesting rather modern fight coreography for such an old film. Cons:
-Poor story telling. You understand what they are trying to explain but its not well done.
-Old reused storyline. I mean come on Japanese vs. Chinese kung-fu fights get a little old dont they. I mean Chinese Connection with Bruce Lee, Fist of Legend w/ Jet Li are some of the other martial art films w/ chinese vs Japanese.

Summary: A Classic!
Review: This was the very first martial arts movie I ever saw. Since then, there have been uncountable others, but I've never forgotten this one. I thought the effects were somewhat cheesy but when I first saw it, at about age 15, it was really exciting and made a huge impact on how I saw these kinds of movies after that. If you're into the genre, I'd say this was a real collectors item.

Summary: 5 Fingers of Death (1972) d: Cheng, Chang Ho
Review: This film was said to be "...the progenitor of the 1970's martial arts craze", and "...Hailed as the greatest of the Kung Fu movies", with that kind of praise one would think that it would have been given a better treatment than this DVD. Although I must admit, it is nice to see it released, and available in a dubbed full widescreen version. The disc has little extra features, and a very grainy VHS looking picture, which puts this very low on my list of favorites. The basic plot consists of a martial arts trainee soon to become a master of kung fu, facing many challenges. Great acting and fighting from star Lo Lieh and a bunch of other Shaw Bros. Regulars.

Summary: In the begining .........
Review: This was my first karate flick as a7y.o. in 1973, when my brother took, and I have never forgotten it. This flick has all the quarkiness that made these early films unforgetable......Yes, like bell bottoms, afros, and three inch soles, you may be embarrased to admit that you enjoy this stuff as many are, but nostalgia is the reason for my watching this. You can almost smell the popcorn as your feet stick to the floor......

Summary: A MUST HAVE!!!!!
Review: This should be one of the first movies to get if you ever start collecting kung fu movies or just would like to watch one and see what's the craze. Not only was it the first kung fu movie to hit American soil, but where would Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li be if this movie didn't have such a breakthrough. Lo Lieh set this movie off. I liked the old school action, other than the pausing punches and kicks that came along in the mid-seventies. GET THIS MOVIE!!!

Summary: Hilariously Dubbed Kung Fu Party Movie
Review: This is indeed the Kung Fu film which started the craze in America before Bruce Lee took the lead. The film contains outrageous Kung Fu stunts achieved by such tricks as running the film backward or having the actors jump from off-screen trampolines. The bad dubbing and worse dialog provides an unintentional element of hilarity which makes this film uniquely entertaining for its genre. My friends and I saw this movie 5 times on its initial American release, laughing until we cried each time, and dragged everybody to it that would go. You haven't lived until you've heard lines like "he's thick as two planks", and "take these two knives, and I'll see ya later!"

Summary: After 25 years, this movie is still the one and only.
Review: This is the movie in which all martial art films are compared. This is the classic "Five Fingers of Death". This movie goes along side all of Bruce Lee's classic movies. A true martial arts film lover will watch this movie over and over. Leonard Maitlin, doesn't have a clue about this film.
