Reviews
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
rudge49 This was my introduction to Chinese martial arts movies, caught it on "Kung Fu Theater" on a Philadelphia station 25 years ago or so. The plot, such as it is , involves a man, a woman and a boy who are out to rescue a prince who has been kidnapped by a villain called "The Baron" in the dubbed version I saw. Has some fantasy elements,enough humor to release the tension. The heroes go their separate ways but reunite for the final showdown, each has their talent-the man, his fists, the woman her sword, the boy uses a hoop. And of course each is a one man (or woman) army. Good miserable rainy,snowy or icy stay-at-home day entertainment.
stud_73x Well paced movie with plenty of fight scenes, almost all of which are dominated by an unbeatable female. Many fights feature more than one female in action. Chia Ling (Judy Lee) has by far the most fights, her scenes are very convincing. Moderate gore, not a classic, but a must if you like fighting females.
