CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

overonetkb-1 As stated by other Commentors this is a Stand-out in the Kung-Fu Movie Genre. Jack Long and Lee Yi Min do a wonderful job with the fighting style and choreography set before them . When you watch Long are Lee you see two gentlemen who practice good form , something not recognizable by many actors in this period. If you like this movie the "long brothers" and "Lee Yi min " team up with Joeseph Kuo in "Mystery of Chess Boxing " another classic . Mark and Jack Long entered the Hong Kong movie scene much too late. They both Started in Movies during the latter 70's and became stars in the eighties;subsequently, that was the early age of wire-fu which took away from the natural abilities of the acrobats and actors . Sad thing it was also the death of Kung Fu movies in the Americas.....

evilore 7 Grandmasters deserves to be a legend of martial arts cinema. Nowhere else, either from this period of cinema or the modern era, have I seen so much variety in fighting styles and such a huge number of quality fight sequences. While the fights may adhere to a '70s fight choreography feel to some extent, they're very fast and fluid, with each fight displaying a unique tone. Monkey style, mantis style, weapon fights, fights between the same styles, an unorthodox fight that will be at home to Jackie Chan fans, and several others. Each style is carefully considered and utilized authentically, not just as a gimmick to add superficial differences to samey choreography. And fortunately the fights are filmed at steady, wide angles with long continuous shots whenever possible to allow the viewer to fully appreciate the action.The story may seem unusually briskly paced, but this ends up being refreshing after experiencing countless martial arts films with convoluted melodrama, where good martial artists try and fail to act. What story there is explains the motivation for each of the fights without ever holding back the real goal of the movie.Visually, the film is quite gorgeous, with varied locations and bright, vast environments. The sound effects on the original mandarin audio track utilize wonderful whooshing effects for the fights, as you'd expect.This is a must-see classic for any fan of martial arts film.

darksorcerer This movie is the best. It doesn't have your jackie chan's or bruce lee or any other mainstream superstar actor (sorry bruce) But in my eyes its a classic.It story is about the current kings champion in china (sang kwan chung) about to retire, when his title is put under question by a mysterious note pinned to his banner. Sang kwan chan then sets out to prove he is the rightful owner of the title and defeat the 7 grandmasters. Along the the way he picks up a young student who is neglected by the current 3 other students of the Pi mae Grand master, who wants to learn the style and pledges his loyalty.This movie is not just your average movie. It has Many laughs and great fighting sequences and a climax that is truly awesome.If you see this movie and are a fan of the old school Kung fu movies..then buy it.

sfm85 This movie is so excellent. It has the best kung fu action, and the fights are good and long. The story is actually okay, and the dialogue, while dubbed, is still good. The actors do not speak the typical stupid kung fu movies lines. Watch this.
