Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
broaf People dis on this movie, but let me tell you something: If you see one movie, EVER, let it be this. If I had 50b thumbs, every last one of them would be up. I mean how can you go wrong with a line like, "Funny... most people sleep in beds, but I... I sleep in steamer baskets."Enough said.
Daniel Kahn Nelson (PNelson698) -DANIEL MANIA! COMMENT-The film was ok and the concept was acceptable but the ending could have been better! The villian was a little corny with the whole iron back attacks and when they beat him they should have taken his limbs off!! I mean gosh, the viewer would think that after all of that the two main characters should have returned the favor and cut off the evil master's arms and legs!!Anyway this is not a movie I could set through again and it was definitely a 5/10.Daniel K.

fuxbot Crippled Masters? Who get the ideas for these flicks? I can barely imagine the sick person who was looking for a story to make a good flick and all he come up with is "I know! I'll make a movie about two crippled guys who do kung fu!". Anyway, the guy who thaught of this get high points for originality, as watching an armless guy and a legless one beat up people is highly entertaining. Just don't expect anything more than cheesy, campy fun.About the story, it goes a little like this: A man gets both arm chopped off(producing a low amount of blood for this kind of flick) by an evil warlord(who has a weird drawing thingie under the eye). He then stumble around with both arm chopped off, eating pig food and such. He then meet a follow handicapable(hehe) who had his leg melted with a very low quantity of acid by the same warlord. Fast running on hands and stump hits ensue.First of all, you gotta respect the two actors' ability to cope with their handicap and do kung fu. And they're quite good at it too(for crippled guys, I mean).Next thing that make this movie fun is the very low production value, causing bizarre and often funny mistakes. This film also got the loud punching sound that goes along with kung fu flicks.In the end, I'd recommend renting this flick if you feel like watching two crippled kung fu masters fight again an evil warlord who can block with his back can be entertaining, or just for the novelty factor, because there isn't much else to it...
DelMonte This movie contains very impressive martial artistry by guy with no arms and guy with no legs. However, that is beside the point, as anyone that would possibly want to watch this movie would do so for purely camp value. Oh yes, Crippled Masters has camp value. By the end, the film quality gets much worse, and there are obvious film edits mid-shot, and it ends with a big freeze frame. It's very funny how terrible this movie is, as long as you aren't too sensitive about handicaps.
