andressolf I want to give this movie a 4 out of 10 for wasting my time, but I also want to give it a 6 out of 10 since I watched about an hour and a half of it and endured it for that long.The good about this movie: The opening scene. Looks interesting. Looks very good. Unfortunately it doesn't turn out to be very good.The illegal fights. Most fights I have seen have 'no eye-gouging' etc. This is a no holds barred match and a fight to the death. Unfortunately as unusual as that is to see in a martial arts film or match it is not at all entertaining to see in this movie. Cringe-worthy in some parts, yes, but so was Riki-Oh cringe-worthy and that had entertaining fights. This one did not.The music and colorful scenes, jokes on the characteristics of Thai, Indian, and Japanese fighters are all very interesting. What I have noticed: This movie was done in 1976. I know it must have influenced Tarentino somewhat in his music/colorful scenes for Kill Bill. I know this movies Indian character must have influenced the creators of Street Fighter for their Indian character can stretch as well. I know this movie may have influenced Punch Out! with the stereotypes within (cause that game and this movie makes fun of race cultures a bit without making the race/culture weak. You have to be familiar with this movie or that game to know what I mean.The bad things about this movie: Matches in this movie are mediocre and unexciting. The movie is VERY predictable except for maybe 1-2 parts and even then it's not like great 'wow that surprised me what a great movie!' suspense, but like 'heh. Wasn't expecting that. meh. Oh well'. It's just a boring movie all through out. Boring fights, and predictable ending where the protagonist wins in the end against the antagonist.

ruidobranco Well, what can i say about this movie??? The script is confuse, the acting is awful, the story... Story? What story? There's no story. Everything is just an excuse to have some fights. Well, the fights are good. Finally we get to see where was Dhalsim borne from... Well, the script is so stupid, that we see a fight between Waykuma Wins-Without-a-knife and the one armed boxer because the first wants to take the eagle claw kung fu girl with him to Japan and the second one doesn't want to let her go. And, just for this simple reason, they have a hell of a fight...Well, if you want to laugh out loud, this movie is for you. But, don't expect nothing in the level of the Shaw Brothers or Bruce Lee...

Scarecrow-88 A blind warrior, whose weapon is a flying guillotine, sets his sights of revenge for the one-armed boxer who killed members of his clan. The backdrop setting provided for this revenge plot is a tournament to the death where various fighters, with their unique brands of styles and skills, face off to determine a winner.Yu Wang, who plays the one-armed boxer, directs an amazing kung-fu epic where we see lots of fantastic fighting. One has to go into this without reservation towards the film's heavy use of loud sound effects because Wang even has swifting sounds as arms move in every direction even when contact isn't made. Wang also adopts alternate electronic music scores and ominous sounds within the soundtrack to make the experience even more unique and worthwhile. This is a complete fantasy where Wang adopts some elements where men do outrageous, unrealistic things such as balance on beams, empty baskets, up walls, swords from the ground, etc. There are some unusual fighters such as an Indian who can extend his arms(he's a heavy who has a harrowing battle with Wang's heroic Lu Ti Lung), a fighter who can choke you with his pony tail, the blind guillotine master who has ears that actually move showing just how good his hearing is even despite his handicap. You have a fighter, barefoot, who is quite an impressive fighter until he walks into Liu Ti Lung's trap..a room where the floor is heated with fire underneath and open windows are blocked by his students equipped with spears.The finale, where Liu Ti Lung and the blind guillotine master do battle within a bird and coffin house is spectacular. This flick is made with enthusiasm, style, but suffers from age(the film stock has shown signs of wear as the color fades at times..this really deserves a digital touch-up)which is one of it's few liabilities. Sure you can see Wang's arm underneath his shirt, but that's a small mistake one can easily look over as they watch the man do some amazing things with his other hand and feet. The blind guillotine master is a delightful creation when sparring with those fortunate(..but not as skilled)to have all their senses. You see how good he is with the other senses and just how fast that flying guillotine hits a target.

MartianOctocretr5 A typical kung fu extravaganza, where two mighty warriors, one an evil and blind mystic, who "senses" the presence of his enemy (in a Starwars "force" way), stalks his nemesis and rival, a one armed fighter who represents the good. The catch is that this evil mystic wields a unique weapon that he uses ruthlessly (can you possibly guess what from the film's title?). The action is exciting, but there are some areas where the movie gets downright cheesy. In some places it's overdone with the impossible moves you often see in movies like this (jumping 30 feet in the air, catching weapons thrown at you, acrobatic rolls that defy gravity, etc) The "Zzzziiiinnnngggg!!!" of the guillotine is used too much, and becomes funny. The makeup on the Master of the Flying Guillotine is very fake, especially in close-up shots of his face (used frequently), showing that this old man is being played by a guy maybe 25 yrs. old. The numerous preliminary fights with lesser fighters are well choreographed and enacted, but become redundant--you know pretty much when the attacker is going to get killed. And then it's on to the next fight. There is almost no plot; you know that the two experts will have their showdown sooner or later. The dialog is ripe and silly with its stoic pontification, one of the many kung fu movie clichés used.The final match is nicely done, goes on for a long time, utilizes several strategies by each combatant, and is just a lot of fun to watch. In gets campy because it's so overdone, but still fun.
