Ten Tigers from Kwingtung

Customer Reviews:

Put Ti Lung and Fu Sheng in a movie, add all 6 Venoms, get Chang Cheh to direct it, and see how it turns out.......2007-03-10

Easily one of the best casts ever. Ti Lung, Fu Sheng, and all 6 Venoms, even Johnny Wang Lung Wei who I consider the 7th. Ku Feng is the only star that doesn't fight, but everybody else is obviously on a much higher level than him. To round out the rest of the cast, we have Dick Wei(just like all of his Shaw Brothers movies, he gets the least action out of everybody), Brasshead from 'Kid With the Golden Arm', Chin Siu-ho('Fist of Legend' and '2 Champions of Shaolin'), and Wang Li('Flag of Iron' and '2 Champions of Shaolin').

The story is really bad. It's not that it's stupid, just incredibly boring. At times, things don't even make sense. Other than the jaw-dropping fight scenes, the great acting and graphic violence are the only real positives.

It starts out with a plot for revenge on the pupils of the Ten Tigers. Then it flashes back for an hour! A conclusion does finally come, and includes a very nice Chang Cheh moment. As bad as the storytelling is, the thing that really bugged me is that all of the huge stars aren't even involved in the final fights. The action was still AWESOME, so I can't complain too much. The story can be distracting and boring at times, but since I watch these movies for the fights, it was very enjoyable. I don't even consider this to be good, but I have watched it many times because it is just so much fun.

I also love how you don't meet most of the characters right away. You find their names when they start fighting. Like Lo Meng and his iron fingers, Chiang Sheng's pole skills, and Phillip Kwok's special upside down kick. Lung Wei steals the show with the weirdest fight scene when he pulls out a 3 foot miniature bronze statue. Ti Lung breaks his sword, now try to break that weapon! The best 2 scenes are saved for the last 25 minutes. The first has a guy armed with multiple weapons(Wang Li) against a guy who can make a weapon out of anything that is lying around. After an extremely boring and overlong non-action death scene, we move on to the final fight. It does not disappoint. 3/5

Region 3 IVL is the best version.

old "skool" kung fu/ THERE IS A GROSS INCONSISTANCY.......2006-05-13

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!!!

Ten Tigers from Kwangtung.......2006-04-17

Wow, Wow, Wow! You will not be disappointed at all with this old school flick! You will see the top ten Venom Mob stars in this one. They team up to deliver an awesome old school hit. The fighting scenes are mob classics, nothing short here. But hold your stomachs, because this is filled with major blood baths, gutts being spilled out and awesome hand to hand combat, sword and pole fighting scenes. You will feature some of the best fighting scenes here. This is typical of the mob classics that I'm used to. This flick is filled with action all the way through.

The plot begins early with treachery, rivalry and trickery as the Venoms team up to guard one of their heroes and get him safely out of the country. In the beginning, the Ten Tigers were tricked into fighting each other, thus giving into the plans of the evil officials. Soon, they discover they were being tricked and used to lure their hero out in the open to be killed. The Ten Tigers soon came together and planned their strategies for sneaking their hero out of the country. Without giving too much away, they met up with strong opposition - from those seeking revenge to the crooked officials seeking to do away with the famous hero and kill off the Ten Tigers at the same time. Those seeking revenge knew that they were no match for the Ten Tigers (together they were too strong) so they resorted to a scheme of trying to kill them off one by one by isolating them. Alone, each Tiger was more manageable to deal with.

This flick is awesome and a must have for real Venom Mob fans. This is worth having. You can't go wrong!!!!

Baded On A True Story.......2005-11-21

The Ten Tigers is actually based on a true story. Great use of Northern Styles, as well as forms and fighting based on the Southern Style 5 Animals system. Throw the Venoms in the Mix and you have a great Kung Fu Classic!!!

Good Movie but not a top 5 pick.......2003-06-04

10 tigers is an enjoyable film. If you're a Venom fan then you will be pleased to see the Poison Clan reunited in this movie. I thought the plot was good. An intricate tale of revenge and deception depicted through the use of many flashback sequences. Nevertheless, I thought the movie tended to drag a bit. While some of the fight scenes seemed like they were put in just to add needless action at certain points. However, the movie is still worth viewing. I would actually give the film 31/2 stars. With that said, I'm not upset that I purchased the movie because it does have some great fight sequences.
