SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Good idea lost in the noise

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Its so bad its good. Recommend you watch it with friends and/ or adult beverages. Bad acting. Bad filming. Bad plot. Bad script. Bad effects. its truly one for the record books.Its so bad its good.It follows a vengeful fighter who swares revenge on his teachers killer. once he kills him he is conciderd the greatest figher of all, therefore he is challenged by others till his family is attacked and he is forced to fight what seems to be his final fight. The death toll is sky high with Chan killing about 100 men in one battle. But besides the over all slaughter, the martial arts seemed slow, and there were no fancy techniques or shapes, it just seemed like a bunch of angry drunk guys kicking and punching. It's worth watching just to say you saw it, but i don't think it's classic material. then again, it may be what your lookin for, all you can do is watch:)

The packaging says this was banned in Asia for its violence; however, what we have here in the American dubbed release appears to be a censoring re-edit, because I've seen worse violence in films, and the editing in action sequences here seem intended to pare away pro-longed blood-letting.Not that the uncensored edits are any much better; still, I continue to hope that one day I will be able to see this film in all its original pristine gore.How bad is this film, just as a film? well, the hero and his wife are standing at the grave of the hero's teacher at sunset - at least, the painted backdrop behind them appears to be that of the setting sun - how do we know it's a painted backdrop? because when the hero walks in front of it, the spotlight casts his shadow ON the sun! They just don't make suns like they used to, I guess.Actually, one has to get into a kind of weird "Mack Sennett meets Tsui Hark" kind of groove to enjoy this film. It's definitely a silent movie that somehow got made in the sound-film era; and it's definitely a wild wire-works ride through the realm of magical sword-fighting in ancient China - you can even see the wires attached to mannequins flying about pretending to be sword-fighters.Oh, well, I might as well admit that I just have a soft spot for cinematic moments when people are killed by having rocks shoved down their throats.Eight stars for entertainment value, but only for real connoisseurs.

So they say this movie was banned in several countries. So as I watched I tried to figure out why.. Well this plot is rather weak in that the normal "master" gets killed and the revenge thing happens.. Yet the twist this time is that this guy seems un-stoppable because of this so called sword that he has.. The fight scenes are rather weak and laffable compared to other films of this type.. What sets this one apart from a lot of the others is some of the so called Special Effects in the fights.. one example is when "Super Chan" seems to have a vertical jump of say 50 or 60 feet easily. He fights 100's of men in what seems like some sort of thing to make the movie a lot longer than it should be. You have a small love interest in the film with sad lookin backgrounds. I can on recommend this movie to anyone lookin for something different that they can laff at and poke fun at. AS you can't take it all serious. I think the reason is was banned as some of the fight scenes are pretty violent and bloody with some of these men being killed in really strange ways. I have already added this film to my collection as one to keep.. At least it is not as bad as Kung Pow.. If that is telling you anything..

Lighten up, if you found this page, or this film, then you know what to expect from Invincible Super Chan and films like it. No one wanders into a video store expecting Citizen Kane II from this kind of film.But if you expect outrageously silly kung-fu action along with nonsense dialogue and awful dubbing, than this is a movie for you. This is the kind of movie that you rent on a night with nothing to do, drink some beers, and laugh yourself silly as you watch ISC (as you will learn to refer to him) fly over mountains and generally whoop the bad dudes.Fun film
