Kung Fu Theater: Seven Steps Of Kung Fu (1979)
By Greg Dragon at April 19, 2011 | 10:22 pm | 0 Comment
Before I go into the review of this film I must preface by saying that this movie has hands-down some of the best kung fu sequences I have ever seen. The choreography is ridiculous and the fights, especially the ones later on in the movie are intense. Chang Shan is a master but Chang Tin Chee is equally impressive as the two protagonists drop knees on the more...

Invincible Armor is another movie brought to us by the Shaw Brothers, and is one of the best movies of this genre.

The fact that they had to discover the weak spot made for an entertaining last battle, I would recommend more...
Kung Fu Theater: Tai-Chi Master (1993)

In Yuen Woo-ping’s TAI-CHI MASTER we get to see Jet Li play the role of a good guy, I enjoy seeing him play the bad guy at times. It is fairly apparent from the start that as soon as his friend (Chin Siu-ho) starts to veer off the road of virtue, Jet Li’s character is going to have something to say about it, which typically means a fight. It’s the well more...

Unless it is a Shaw Brothers offering, it can be near impossible to come up with any viable and accurate information. There was some information available on some of the actors, and while this movie is not more...
