Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Overrated and boring
Review: This movie sucks, I don't care how classic it is. I think there's just a lot of hype surrounding this movie, nothing more.

Rating: 5 stars
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!!!

Rating: 5 stars
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......

Rating: 3 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of those rare finds...
Review: This, like all early kung fu flicks, Rocky Horror, and a couple other films, is much more satisfying when viewed with a crowd. However, it can also stand on its own if you are just sitting home. This was back in the day when every teacher had a "secret technique" to show their student when all else failed. Another cliche duplicated later on: the guy who became the biggest butt kicker in the end was always getting picked on by every bully conceivable, even the other students at his school. Gotta love the glowing red hands, bad acting, and screwy dialogue. The fight scenes are actually well-done for a movie that had probably half the budget of Bruce Lee movies (and, of course, had no Bruce Lee in it either).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Poor Quality but Highly Entertaining
Review: Yes, the lighting is terrible, the dubbing is bad, and the colors look like crap too. However, this movie, in my opinion is as entertaining as kung fun cinema gets. The fight scenes are awesome (for some reason I enjoy the trampoline effect) and the plot is classic. Lo Lieh learns the Iron Fist technique and whoops some serious ass, avenging the murder of his two masters.

Pick this one up, it is a winner!!
