Too many fans seem to be blown away
Better Late Then Never
Blistering performances.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
View MoreBack in the early - mid 90's, my friends and I came across this little flick that soon became all the rave for our little cult of viewing pleasure. This movie is without a doubt a must see for any person who is into the old Hong Kong Kung Fu movies that I had grown up on watching late at night on the local mandarin channel (Midnight Kung Fu Theatre, baby!). This movie is all about laughs, do not take it seriously as a "Kung Fu" flick... it's more of a spoof of asian films. I would say this movie is made up of three mixes. It's part Jacky Chan, part Godzilla and part American Westerns. This movie is incredibly funny for those who have are in the mood for childish humor, and have an understanding of asian cinema.
View MorePlot is not an option here, but kung-fu parody, good choreography, and alot of comedy makes this film fun. Anytime one of the main villains of the film is a mutant shaolin buddhist pig, you have a gem on your hands. The film does drag towards the end, especially after Claypool's character ( a classic in any writer's book) is beaten. The homosexual character is also hilarious and you got to see this movie to believe chicken kung fu! Wang also did The Guyver films.
View Morethis movie is goofy and dumb, but is worth checking out for one reason: it stars Les Claypool, bass player extraordinare for the great band PRIMUS. he stars as an evil sheriff and actually does quite a good job.I did like the fact how the movie tried to skewer all kung fu film cliches in 90 minutes but overall it just doesn't hang together that well, but it does succeed on a so stupid it's cool level.
View MoreThis movie is sooooooo bad.....but that part when the bad guys are torturing Lou-Z and start cutting up his toupee is just too funny--I could not stop laughing!! You gotta see it, just for that part alone!
