CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

MartinHafer It takes a special sort of person to watch these older Hong Kong martial arts films, as the average person will no doubt watch them and laugh themselves silly at the stupid physics, silly plots and hapless dubbing. But if you are like me, you'll consider the cheesiness as all part of the film's charm and understand that this is all part of the genre. In this light, this is a slightly better than average film. Just try to ignore the silly special effects with involve flying heroes, explosions, exploding golden Frisbees, people catching arrows in flight and throwing them back and killing the shooters and many other impossible tasks.The film is about a fight within a family clan. One member is evil but claims that he is seeking a man with a whip to get revenge--while what he REALLY wants is to murder him and steal a government gold shipment. A fellow clan member, Lei Peng, urges him to abandon his revenge--and he later realizes that it isn't about revenge after all. When this happens, he takes the gold himself and plans on returning it to the government. In the meantime, the evil dude and his toadies attack and murder all of Lei Peng's family.Later, the guy with the whip's children seek to kill Lei Peng--thinking he was the one who murdered their father and stole the gold. But, since they want the gold, they pretend to want to help Li Po to find out where it's hidden. In addition, a lady in white joins their merry gang. The four of them eventually have a major showdown (after they realize Li Po is a good guy) and the action and silly special effects reach a very strange and odd conclusion when Li Po seemingly arises from the dead to beat the baddie and his evil henchmen.Despite the silliness of the plot, this is a pretty good film with decent fight scenes--it won't lose your interest if you are a fan of these fantasy films. Plus, there are some really dopey moments that are so unintentionally funny that I loved them, such as when one man said "If I lose, I will cut off my own head"--huh?!

caycefuture One guy asked in his review of 'Ninja killer', Who is that cop guy? That's Cuneyt Arkin my friend, Thurkeys answer to 70's Kung-Fu. In this film he kicks oriental butt, Istanbul style http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0035067/ However, take note this protagonist is not credited anywhere in the films listings. The guy gets girls on horseback, knocks people off roofs, and holds a grin to the last inch of celluloid for what? No mention whatsoever? Not even by IMDb. Come on guys seriously. Anyway thats Cuneyet Arkin C.U.N.E.Y.T A.R.K.I.N. Movie any good? Maybe. Maybe you want to steer the cheek a few hundred degrees and get kicked by another Kung-Fu flick. Free will huh? Ain't it marvelous. Perhaps I like this movie because I am a Turk. To me it's like gold. The rooftop fight is sped up to Benny Hill proportions. It can make you laugh so don't be afraid to live a little. Have you seen 'Bloodsport'? Then you'll know the guy with the huge pecs, he's Bolo Yeaung. Here a complete prat. A whimpish coward with crap Kunf-Fu check him out. He gave Van-damn a hard time more than once. Nostalgia with 70's flavour. Bruce Lee wannabes get slapped sideways like extras from enter the Turk. Punishment is adjudicated by a Turkish waiter type with more than cheese. Feel free.

sirdouglas46 I bought this movie unseen at Best Buy. They had a section of martial arts movies, about 30 in all. I actually let the IMDb fan review (on the back of the box) sway me- I should have known better. This film is pretty boring with a few exceptions. There is a quick scene towards the end where a man using lion technique ( I know that because he had silly lion claw gloves and ridiculous blonde hair that was supposed to resemble a lion's mane) gets taken care of in an amusing way.I was looking for a good 70's supernatural kung fu joint like this one I saw that was totally creative- of course, I cannot remember the title. In it there is this scene where the local prefect receives an urn as a gift from the emperor. Instead of food inside, there is a clown type of guy. He looks silly yet proceeds to put up a good fight as he rolls underneath his opponent. At one point he breaks his arms through the sides of the urn and presents a simple paper sword from his mouth. You're like... what the $%&^? Yeah, well this movie didn't have enough of that kind of creative mayhem.

dolemite-14 Fearless Fighters is one of the best times I've ever had watching a Hong Kong chop-socky flick. Everything in this film is massively over-the-top, from the hundred-foot leaps straight up that the actors so effortlessly perform to the fight scenes where lone warriors sometimes kill up to ten opponents at the exact same time. The really funny thing about Fearless Fighters is that none of the actors in the movie seem to know Kung-Fu at all! There's none of the brilliantly choreographed fight sequences we're used to seeing in Kung-Fu movies- the actors look like they're pretending the whole time, while flying through the air, jumping over lakes, using outlandish weapons- it's hilarious. Also of note is the English dubbing- it's excellent. NOT as far as the acting goes, mind you (it's TERRIBLE), but the lip-synching is almost flawless...very impressive. The story involves The Eagle Claw fighting clan, lead by To Pa, one of the most fearsome screen villains of recent memory. To Pa and the Eagle Claw clan robs the Almighty Imperial Lightning Whip (who looks exactly like Ming the Merciless) of government gold meant to aid the poor, tragically killing the Lightning Whip in the process. Lei Pong, the film's honorable hero (and follow member the Eagle Claw clan), attempts to stop the theft, and in turn is framed for the crime and jailed. Meanwhile, the Lightning Whip's children, Mulan and Chen Yi Chung, seek to wack to fool who offed their pops. First they suspect Lei Pong, but after a daring jailbreak, Lei's honor, good looks and charisma wins over the Lightning Whip's children as allies, and the true culprit is revealed- the bloodthirsty To Pa! In an effort to kill the one man who can stop his evil plans, To Pa uses his ill-gotten gains to hire an army of freaks and weirdos, including such colorful characters as the Soul Pickers (Flying Sparrow and the Solar Ray- you HAVE to see these guys), the Sword of all Swords, the Dragon Raiser brothers, some wacko with a blond wig and Tiger Claws, and the infamous Loner, also known as...One Man Army. This guy is so totally evil, and with his Deadly Twin Sword, he is one baaad man! The resulting conflicts between Lei Pong and company with To Pa's minions are among the most ridiculous ever filmed! The amateurish, yet outlandishly overstated fighting combined with high-flying antics (complete with some really poor cable work) and horrible stunt jobs make for some gut-busting good times, right on up to the earth-shattering ending. This film is a must see, not only for fans of martial arts movies, but anyone interested in opening up their minds to a higher plane of existence, as seeing Fearless Fighters may very well change your life! Oh, an on a personal note: The actor who portrays To Pa has the best delivery of the phrase "mince-meat" I've ever heard.
