Movie Reviews of Heroes of the East
Movie Review: TO: "QT" & "HW" - MORE "RZA" COMMENTARY, PLEASE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Probably the most entertaining Shaw Bros. film ever! Possibly the most fun Liu and Lau had making a Shaw Bros. film ever!! Positively the most amazing demonstrations of various Chinese and Japanese weapons, styles, philosophies, and attitudes about Martial Arts in any "Kung Fu vs Karate" or "Wuxia vs Ninja" or "China vs Japan" film made at Shaw Bros. or any other studio in Hong Kong, Tokyo, or anywhere else in the world, ever!!! And no one dies, or gets beat to a bloody pulp because it was meant to be entertaining, and fun, and amazing... And it's all that and a bag of shurikan's! Also, keep your eyes peeled for the "Sifu" himself showing Jackie Chan how "Drunken Master's" style can be done righteously in 10 minutes! * Highly recommended "fu flick fare" for females and families! Even the youngest kids in your brood can watch this one and learn some good life lessons about tolerance, respect, and confidence without pride too! Plus, they'll love it all the way through and have as much of a good time as you! It's really true!! Just ask "Sifu" Lau or "Master" Liu!!! ~ S->Movie Review: A classic martial arts film that will never go old.

Tell the truth; how long has it been since you kicked back and watched a martial arts film and said-"woooooow",It's probably been a while. Well, heroes of the east has put that ooh-ah back into the martial arts films.For about 20 years,kung fu film buyers have been cheated by watching martial arts films that are either bootleged or improperly framed. Now celestial, which owns the rights of all the shaw brothers titles, have restored and remastered some of the most finest cinema I have ever seen. The fight scenes in this film is so carefully directed,and the best fighting scene i found to be good was the scene when gordon lui character had to go against a ninja doing a style called "the crab stance", the fight is nothing but amazing. We should get serious about kung fu films, computer genertated effects are not the real deal. In which gordon lui expressed in an interview. Too many actors are not being trained and too many actors are not true martial artitst. Heroes of the east presents true martial art presentation.Movie Review: "Must Have" kung fu movie for martial artist or fan
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a classic! It's a keeper for your kung fu movie collecton. I am a kung fu instructor and fully enjoy the action and training scenes. Nothing phoney or hokey. The movie was directed by a kung fu expert, the star was a kung fu expert, and the cinematographer was a kung fu expert as well. This combination of kung fu experts in different roles makes for a unique action movie from the perspective of martial artists. The action and moves are more authentic and many fight scenes are shot in a single take in real-time speed. Many kung fu movies speed up the action to make the actors look like they're moving fast. This movie lets you see real martial artists showing off their best skills when they were at the peak of their prowess. It also has a good story and not just fighting for the sake of fighting. This is great deal because you get a great movie and bonus features!Movie Review: Shaolin vs Ninja
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was a ripper!
My mate had this on an old VHS copy under the title "Shaolin vs Ninja" but lost it. He highly recommended it me so I got it off Amazon. (Recieved it only after about 10 days here in Australia from Amazon. Great service!).
The fighting in it is top notch as it fairly displays Chinese Gung Fu vs Japanese Martial arts with out too much bias. ( as opposed to say Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury, where the Japs are the baddies. still a top movie though!)
It has been restored beautifully and the dubbing (if you dont like subtitles) is the cool old school voices we've all grown up with. (as opposed to alot of the remastered Jackie Chan movies now have remastered dubbing too, which sounds silly.)
Overrall, a great buy, and a laugh to see Gordon Liu with some hair for a change!
Movie Review: Great movie and DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Heroes of the East is a fantastic cinematic presentation of Chinese and Japanese fighting styles put up against each other to see which is the better one. Gordon Liu(36 Chambers of Shaolin) stars as Ah To in this movie and does a fantastic job. The fight scenes are really well done representing both the Japanese and Chinese styles of fighting without one necessarily being the dominant one. I hope Dragon Dynasty continues its great DVD releases of classic films like this one.
Special Features were excellent also. They included feature commentary with Bey Logan, 22 minute tribute to Martial Arts icon Lau Kar-Leung, 20 minute interview with Gordon Liu, and a 26 minute Shaolin vs Ninja Martial Arts Weapons presentation which was very interesting.
