Shaolin And Wu Tang versus the Ching or is it Shaolin versus Wu-Tang?.......2007-05-23

Great movie ! I absolutely enjoyed the martial arts, especially by Gordon Liu and Adam Cheng. The different styles were cool to watch of Gordon's Shaolin and Adam's Wu-Tang. The ending fight scence is very cool, but I wish there was more! I wanted to see an all-out battle, but I guess you can't always get what you want. And the final ending was, "what?".. Oh well!
The basic plot is that the local Ching overlord wants to learn both the Wu-Tang and Shaolin fighting styles. Both Masters veto him, and thus he hatches a plot with his servant to pit the Wu Tang against the Shaolin.
As has already been mentioned, the translation of the dialogue is horrendous! The english dubbing does not match up with the english text at the bottom of the movie. I was laughing at the various translations, that at times were so far off. Come on guys, get it right at least!
I was also disappointed about the lack of extras on the DVD. Throw on at least a couple of trailers or something.
5+ for the movie, 3 for the translating and extras !

WUTANG CLAN VS, MASTER KILLER.......2006-11-25

2 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS GO AT IT. WUTANG VS. SHAOLIN, TRAINING IS HOT. SWORD FIGHTING IS SUPERB. AND GORDAN LIU DESERVES THE BEST KUNG FU ACTION STAR, BESIDES THE VENOMS. PICK THIS UP KID! WUTANG CLAN AINT NUTTIN TO !@#% WIT. SEE YA FR. KUNG FU COLLECT.

one of the most beautifally choreographed movies ever. .......2006-07-09

It is also one of the worst movies ever as the story only pretends to be taken seriously. Other than Johnny Wang (lung fei), Idy Chan (I think that is the girl, she was awesome), gordon liu, and adam cheung, this movie was bad.

It starts with gordon (shaolin) and adam (wudang) wanting to show there style is the best. We think it is going to be all jolly but the the general (Johnny Wang) has plans to master both shaolin and wudang styles so he can be the top fighter there is. But when the masters refuse to teach him, he just wants to take out the top fighters and just move himself to teh top that way. Wow, a 3 year old could have seriously written the script.

But you are getting this movie for action and that is what you will get. The opening sequence is just dazzlign watching the line of monks almost seem like robots in their movements. The only way to acieve perfection like thit nowadays is through cgi and since this movie was costed nothing more than teh price of a Lexus, I don't think they were able to fake any of this. The costumes are also top notch and watch out for the wudang master, his quick trainng fight scenes are great, BUT EVERY FIGHT IN THIS MOVIE WAS MADE JUST FOR US WHO LIKE TO SEE THE MOST PERFECT MOVEMENTS. And when it is choreographed by MAster Lau Kar Leung, you will realize why it is so good.

So you are really getting the best and teh worst of Master Lau, but that should not put off fans of old school kung fu what so ever.

The xenon release of this is horrible, but they can mess it up as much as they want, I will still watch.

AWESOME..........2006-05-28

old school kung fu at its best. Gordon liu , and adam cheng take the lead roles as two freinds who fight each other beacuse of their schools. Im not sure if the great shaw director leang kar leang directed this completly or it was a joint effort with gordon liu. But it is the work of liu , and great it is. The action is fast and superb , and the plot is nice. Wu tangs rivalary with shaolin is fanned and they both fight each other. The downside is the subtitiles and maybe the volume /sound which is low .But i have the vengence video dvd version[im not sure if its the same quality as this]

But for old school fans this is nothing but greateness from shaw brothers team.

My 2 cents.......2006-03-03

i just wrote a long review then it disapeared so im p*ssed and ima keep this one short. basically the dialogue (dubbed) is classic (especially if ura wu-tang clan fan like me) and the action is simply amazing. in terms of choreography, the fights, the plot, and the script, this is the best kung fu movie i have ever seen. also id like to say people who dont like dubbed films have no sense of humor (kung fu films generally are light hearted and it adds a little extra humor).

Also the picture is grainy and the sound is mono, i dont give a sh*t about that, you can see whats going on well enough, and i actually think the old looking picture suits the movie.

In short if you are a fan of the wu-tang clan("the best rap group of all time"), or just kung-fu on its own then you will love this film(assuming youre good people).

watch this space cos ima write some more reviews bout kung-fu

Great Martial Arts film.......2007-07-19

I watched this film about 5 times on vhs loved it so much that I wanted to own it on dvd for my collection this film is good in every aspect.
The action is intense extermly well done a classic would highly recommend this one.

Shalin & Wu Tang #2.......2007-05-25

Plot was a little confusing at first. Great fight scenes at the end.

one hell of a fighting movie, not a good story or nothing, but some sick ass fights.......2006-04-21

I am talking there is a monk training who jumps on to his back AS HARD AS HE CAN ON THE DIRT GROUND AND SPRING BACK UP EVERY TIME HIGHER AND HIGHER. And I;m not talking abou using his hands, he does THE hardest hits and springs on his back I have ever. Unfortunately the movie is not a good one even for kung fu terms. And that guy I was just talking about, that's like his only part. But there is a monk named yu nan I think and this guy can really fight. He is small and has a single expression he shows on his face. I don't have any idea who this guy is but I would think he was in at least a couple other mainland films.

OH YEAH I FORGOT TO TELL YOU IRON MONKEY IS IN THIS. This must be his first movie and his fighting skills aren't polished by any means. He has always been an underused actor as the years have progressed but man do they show him off in this one. Now his fights are unpolished, but like jet in shaolin temple, he is a serious athlete. Meaining that even a guy like allen iverson would have respect for him. And speaking of allen, EVERYONE in this movie had ot have broken a couple of bones. The final kick of the movie by yu nan and iron monkey is spectacular but still doesn't look worth the pain the actors went through. Then iron monkey takes a shot at least twice as hard in the next shot and that was all by himself. I seriously thought he must have died in real life. And the hordst stunts are the sheeit. Dangerous stuff always going on in this movie, no story, but the fights are plentiful and VERY good. VERY VERY GOOOOODOOD.

The Xenon version is nicely widescreened, but suffers from a very worn out and faded picture. I like the cantonese track but the subs are very difficult to read and decipher when you can read them. But don't worry, it's iron monkey beating everyone's ass.

Good Stuff........2005-01-10

This is a great kung-fu flick. Plenty of action, decent storyline, and fun fight scenes. If the old kung-fu movies are somthing you like, you'll be entertained by this one.

What sets this movie apart from many other movies of this genre are the fantastic views of the Chinese countryside. Seriously, some of the settings for the action of this film are just amazing.

No, it isn't as good as the first movie with Gordon Liu, but how many martial arts movies are? Buy this movie already.

Fun flick.......2004-06-27

OK, not the best in the world, but worth the purchase. Tons of silly dialogue, corny intros to the main characters (wait'll you see the stunt 'horse riding' antics), but the fight scenes are strong; extended in length, and choreographed very well. The finale is gritty, but without a lot of excessive melodrama. All in all, pretty good, but only when you have the extra bucks.

Old "Skool" Kun Fu!!.......2006-06-10

AKA 10 Tigers Of Kwangtung.

What I have noticed about this flick,,,it has several names. The original name for this flick is " 10 tigers From Kwangtung",(SEE DETAILS IN GOOGLE.COM) "10 Tigers From Kwingtung",AKA "10 Tigers from shaolin". When this movie was reviewed under the original name," 10 tigers From Kwangtung",it got a 5 star, and when reviewed under the name "10 Tigers from Shaolin",,it only got 3 stars. Now this is a little disconcerting to me as it appears most people, SO CALLED KUNG FU LOVERS tend grade or rate movies, based on what others have to say! That is extremely sad I think, since I usually buy kung fu movies based on my Amazon colleagues!! THIS MOVIE OVER-ALL WAS AMAZING, and deserve nothing less than 5 stars. I recommend it highly!! So those who graded it 3 Stars, are all IDIOTS AND FOLLOWERS,,,,,,I never liked followers, they usually make me ill!!!

KUNG FU HUSTLE's "Beast" reigns supreme in old-school gem.......2005-05-01

There aren't many name actors in TEN TIGERS OF SHAOLIN (1979), but the performers are all quite good and the fights well staged, culminating in a final battle that takes up the last 25 minutes of an 85-minute film and involves at least two dozen principal players fighting with fists, feet, sticks, knives and swords in an open field.

The lead actor is Bruce Leung, who has fortunately been rediscovered thanks to Stephen Chow's KUNG FU HUSTLE, in which he plays an institutionalized kung fu master known as "the Beast," who is broken out of an asylum to fight the hidden masters of Pig Sty Alley. Leung was quite a busy actor and fight director in the good ol' days of old-school kung fu and it was the 2005 release of KUNG FU HUSTLE which inspired me to seek out his earlier films. In TEN TIGERS, he's one of the title group of kung fu fighters and gets to battle early and often, starting with the opening fight sequence. There are other familiar faces in the solid kung fu cast, although the only other "name" player is Jason Pai Piao (HELL'S WINDSTAFF, SHAOLIN RESCUERS).

The simple plot has to do with the Ten Tigers running afoul of a corrupt official who, at various points, kidnaps one or another of the Ten Tigers' women, prompting a series of escalating encounters culminating in the huge brawl at the end. The action is frequent and furious and certain to please hardcore kung fu fans. And it is a pleasant surprise to see the earlier work of one of the key performers from KUNG FU HUSTLE.

Ground Zero's DVD of TEN TIGERS boasts print quality and a video transfer that are much better than average for this company.

Die Hard Kung Fu Fans! .......2007-02-24

This is an excellent Gordon Liu movie. One of his best. At least one of my favorites. There are some amazing scenes thorough the film. One of my favorites is at the end. I don't know how they did some of this stuff. I have trained Martial arts since age 3 so I know a little bit about it and I have to say that some of this stuff is excellent.

Here is the setting: A Manchu Prince (Lung Wei Wang) uses trickery to coax the secret fighting skills out of the Shaolin and Wu Tang masters. He the creates a rift between two young students (Gordon Liu and Adam Cheng) who were once the best of friends despite their respective backgrounds. Forcing the two disciples to return to their temples and seek advice from their superiors. When they later reunite, their differences forgotten. Shaolin and Wu Tang team up to fight the Manchu Menace.

As I said some very good stuff in this one a must for all Gordon fans. And some new faces. The open of the film has some pretty flashy Shaolin and Wu Tang Martial Skills going on. Its a nice film it does have some humor in it.

WU TANG CLAN.......2005-05-17

Oh man, where do I start?

The quality is the absolute worst I've ever seen... even for a Kung Fu flick. Scenes are abruptly cut, it's WAY too blurry, the audio quality is horrible... I couldn't even make out a basic plot because everytime people would talk, the scene would cut to some horrid fight scene. And believe me, the fight scenes are HORRIBLE.

This movie is the ultimate Kung Fu laugh-fest, though. If you like to chill and dub your own Kung Fu flicks, GET THIS ONE. If you want to see a good Kung Fu flick, PASS on this one. Don't say you weren't warned...

classic martial arts flick, dreadful quality.......2004-02-09

A wonderful HK classic with plenty of well choreographed fights, and even a meningful plot (well, by HK standards). The story follows a former Shaolin student, turned Ching -- Marshall Kao, who is forced to eradicate the very temple that once harbored him, and thus to betray his own btothers, who are initilally incredulous of Kao's new allegiance. Torn between his loyalty and his friends who have all but turned against him, Kao forges a plan to redeem himself and pays the ultimate price upon its completion.
The reason for a 3 star rating is the horrendous image quality on this DVD. I do not recall the VHS being this bad, it simply looks out of focus most of the time -- a real f%^*ing disgrace. Definitely recommend the movie, but do bring your prescription glasses as not to be completely baffled by the impressionistic DVD transfer.

one of the best kung-fu flicks ever!!!!!.......2003-01-19

this has some of the most amazing fight scenes ever, especially the last one in the prison area. the story is basic, about the shaolin temple being stopped by an emperor, in which one of the students from the temple is working for. he helps captures the students who are still alive and tortures them in the prisons for a reason (which i won't give away). definetally one of the best!!!

Who gave this the ok?!.......2002-10-19

I didn't get past 10 minutes before I had to turn this movie off! I have no idea if the movie itself is good or bad, but this transfer is absolutely horrid! It's so damn blurry you can't even make out the characters' faces! Don't even bother RENTING this abomination. Another dud stamped with wu tang's name.

weak.......2000-11-14

I might be able to enjoy this film, if it weren't so choppily-edited and badly transferred. The audio is equally horrible, occasionally blaring and then fading out altogether. Bad, bad transfer - hopefully it will get re-released in a more watchable form.
