Shaolin draging-on.......2007-03-22

Not to blame the movie but this was in very poor quality, my friend has paid a buck for some in better viewing condition. This movie had good fight scenes worthy of watching. The time it took to get to the actual challenge the story is based upon I flipped to some cartoons to kill the time. Feeling guilty about missing scenes while watching cartoons I scanned back and watched the skipped over scenes, I didn't miss anything.
The fight scenes make this movie worth it, fast forward through the rest.

No story, like I care.......2006-11-12

When this movie started out I didn't know if I was going to be able to sit through it. The story line, well there is no storyline. It is just Japanese Shaolin vs. Chinese Shaolin, that's it. Lo Rei is the top fighter on the Chinese side and Alan Chui(baddie in 7 Grandmasters and Last Hero In China) leads the Japanese. Since there is no story, the fights are the only thing to talk about. Lo Rei and Alan Chui have a great match against each other. The highlight of the film is a martial arts tournament against the opposing sides. First up is a grappling match between Lo Rei the huge muscleman senior monk from Shaolin vs. Lama. In the second match director Robert Tai steals the show against a high kicking opponent. Tai has a sweet technique where he uses beads as a weapon. This scene is literally worth the price of admission alone. It doesn't hurt that Wong Chi Sang has an amazing weapons fight also. You may recognize him as the first guy that Lo Rei fights in Shaoolin vs Lama and the first guy Ghostface Killer fight in Mystery of Chessboxing. There is also a pole fight that contends with any fight scene in the entire movie.

I think that if they would have put a little more time into the story and put some emotion into it, there is no way I would not be able to give this a 5/5. But it is just mindless fight scenes, fine by me.

I have a bootleg VHS of this and it is only like 70 minutes. Anyone know if a company out there distributes the full version?

Old Skool" Kung Fu!!.......2006-07-02

This flick turnd out not to be what I expected,,,however, I walked away entertained by Alexander Lo Rei!! It was just an o.k flick,,,many fight scenes and the choreography satisfactory. If you love you old school kung fun,,,you're safe with his one!!

Horrid English dubs, poor quality..........2003-01-12

I collect martial arts films on DVD. This one is a bomb and a half. The dubbed voices don't even match the actors and they're so bad you can't stay interested in the movie. The movie cuts out to blackness quite a few times, which is really annoying. The picture fades from color overkill to hardly any at all. I bought the Lion Video version. I have other Lion DVD's that are great, but this one shouldn't have been put out like it is.

Good Fighting, Poor Editing........2002-04-13

The editing was poor to say the least. The film just shut down and went black for a few moments while the sound kept going. However, I must say in only blacked out four-five times, and only once in an interesting point. The color went a little hazy at times but would quickly shift back to normal. Would I buy it again? Yeah. Good flick with cool Kung-Fu. Without the editing burps, I would have given in a four.

raw kung fu action flick!.......2007-01-13

this movie got so much good raw kung fu action on it plus with great swordfighting. You will only see 2 scenes of ninjas on action so dont be expecting much about more ninja action. The only complaint i have is one of monk brothers who gets real cheesy that gets annoying but other than that if you could pass beyond him everything else fine. one of the highlights of this movie is when the monks fought againts an unknown group of masked warriors that brought a twist of the story....highly recommended for people who likes raw kung fu flicks....

I must be in a good mood today giving thsi a 4.......2006-07-03

Now this movie is different than the movie called shaolin vs. ninja. I am reviewing the tai seng version.

Now I sure somebody out there has seen this because it has one of the coolest opening scenes ever. You may or may not know of eagle han (han ying). He did a lot of godfrey ho movies and even fought gordon liu in the finale in the wonderfully horrible "Shaolin Drunken Monk". But when he was under actual choreographers like the great Robert Tai, he is one of the best screen fighters that this world has ever seen! So it starts with eagle jumping on the ground and showign you right away what his legs can do. I won't try to describe what he does to you, but the best way to put it is-HIS LESG CANNOT BE REAL! I mean they are really short and stumpy but I am tellign ou that this guy is more limber than john liu AND hwagn jang lee. he can't kick as high as those guys(cause his legs are a foot and a half long), but I have to say that he is one of the ONLY guys in cinema history that you can tell right away he could whoop your booty in real life. His form is just incredible and I will try not to dwell on the legs. BUT I LOVE LEGWORK!

So the movie is really about as simple as you can get. It starts out really slow but manages to keep pickign up speed throughout the film until the finale comes around and i GAURANTEE you will not be dissapointed in the amount of AWESOMELY choreographed action.

Basically the whole movie you have a group of monks trying to get the golden sutra to tibet. IT MUST GET THERE! Luckily there isn't an army after them btu one BADASS dude who puts a character like "Legalos" to shame. He is a true mountaneer and is EASILY one of my new favorite characters in the movie. So there really is no plot and you have to wait a while, but I gaurantee that you will see ninja's and not the best finale ever, but the best fight in a movie with a TON of good ones.

Also, look for a cameo by robert tai, he has long black hair, a mustache, and is using a one sided spear. Just look for the guy with the biggest nose ever.

If the dvd was widscreened, I would have to giev it a 5. But some parts I hear peopel fighting and can't see anything:) Other than that, picture quality is fine, I just hate it when it is full screened.

Old "Skool" Kung Fu!!.......2006-06-07

(Shaolin Vs. Ninja),,,Not a bad flick,,but I though the story became too confusing. It's almost seemed like they threw a bunch a great kung fu fighters into a ring and say fight for no apparent reason. The fight scenes are amazing and a very entertaining movie to watch,,especially only for the fights!! I gave this flick a 3 star for a good effort!!
