Ma hei siu chi (1994)
If you liked the end fight of drunken master 2...
This end fight is pretty decent despite the horrid camera work and the cranking speed of the film. I got bored of watching this movie at the start. Donnie can do a lot better and biao does save the film. Just fast forward to the last chapter and watch ken lo do some of his magnificent kicks like in drunken master 2. Biao does a lot of rope fights and well its worth a watch. The movie is about a circus and the acrobatics in it. There's a lot of child like scenes in the movie and its kinda a cross between jet lis enforcer and drunken master 2 yet not up to par with either movie... just scenes remind me of both. I was lucky enough to find this movie at walmart in the boxing day discount bin with high voltage so if you see it pick it up!
Mao shan dao shi (1979)
Oddities brought back to life
First off I found this movie by accident. I bought it in a wutang volume pack and it contained a movie called water something.. turns out this is the movie. It's also previewed to death on a lot of the wutang hidden chambers disks showing the scene where one of the venoms is getting tied up in ropes with claws. That begins at the starting of the movie and its not all that exciting. Near the end of the movie is where you might get freaked out if your not used to looking at alien puppets. This bloody tongue beast comes out of no where killing everyone and snacking on a lot of croch. Again i thought this might be a decent movie considering it had beardy in it and a venom. I was wrong... there's a few average fights but nothing to run out and grab like say legend of a fighter or knockabout. If you find this movie just fast forward to the end and get spooked out.

Watch and understand some things here
First off this is jackies first staring role. Secondly the producer quit the whole movie and left all the actors without a producer which means no movie. So if you add both those into account you have to finish the movie with what you have. This is a old movie and a young jackie.. Jackie does pull off a few good moves near the end on the dock fight if you watch closely and he's very agile. They added a lot of scenes after drunken master made it big. The blindfold fight, the training katas (drunken master clips) and a few other extras thrown in. Anything with the teenage jackie is jackie chan which most people know and the children and parent part is also part of the movie. The fighting in this is average but I found it pretty entertaining and the jackie double can movie quite well. There's a special edition of this movie with the real ending but I've never seen it. So try and get that version!
Zhu zai xie lei (1979)
A B-movie full with action and some great fights
Who cares about the dubbing or the editing or the mambo jumbo. If you've seen enough b-kung fu movies like me you'll appreciate this one. It's loaded with fights and weapon fights. They may not be up to par with jackie chan's drunken master 2 but they are a little more complex then fist of fury. Seriously if you see the part where billy does the hurricana on the one guy in the cabin then you'll understand what im talking about. This movie makes everyone who can't fight seam like they can fight. Heck even Carl Scott is damn good! I've seen seen almost every Van Damme movie, every Jackie Chan movie, most of Sammo Hung's movies, etc.. and this thing is action packed! I found it at walmart in a double pack with another Billy chong movie which isn't as fun as this one. Anyhow don't listen to the other review and go find this masterpiece! One of the best b movies out there!
Nan yang tang ren jie (1978)
Bruce Li gives a good beating
Another one of those movies which is sooo bad its good. I few beers and a few friends makes this movie a masterpiece. I know your saying damn this guy is on crack but if you've seen as many b movies as me then you'll appreciate the better ones. It's jam packed loaded with fights every 2 minutes. Some of the fights are above average and some are just basic. One thing to look forward to in this movie though is the gorilla fight. Why ? Well for one thing these animals sure know how to fight and take a good beating. This is honestly one of Bruce Li's best films and if you love Bruce Li like me over dragon lee and bruce le then you'll appreciate this film as much as me. Enjoy!
Shuai ya lao hu (1980)
With the talent how can you go wrong?
I'm not exactly sure who's all in this movie but i know the faces.. sammo hung is in it, heaven from fearless hyeana is in it (lam ching?), yuen biao does the stunt doubles (flips), and the guy who is the monkey from magnificent butcher is in it. The story is decent and the action is top notch the last half of the movie. If you want to know what id compare it to.. the first thing that comes to mind is knockabout. Seriously grab this movie.. its all over hkflix and ebay and the quality may not be the best its the only release of the DVD. The track is in English and has subtitles in cantonese apearing while the movie is playing. You'll find out near the end why sammo and his friend are the two toothless tigers. I won't spoil it for anyone. If you love this movie check out knockabout, magnificent butcher, and drunken master. All old school classics!
