Movie Reviews of Magnificent Butcher
Movie Review: Old "skool" Kung fu!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This classic is definately Sammo Hung's best performance. The art of kung fu, very present and entertaining. Importantly,,the choreography very clear and transparent. This flick is a must have,,you will not be dissapointed!!Movie Review: Terrible, deeply disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
The fight scenes are bad; I'd always seen Sammo in his older-fatter days opposite Jackie Chan and thought: maybe he was better younger?
He wasn't.
There are only two things to recommend this movie (hence the two stars) --
1) The 'fight' between masters early on is wonderful, very different from just about anything else I've seen in 30 years of "bad karate movie" watching; and
2) The harm-to-innocents that occurs is.. surprising. Different enough to make you wish the entire movie'd been better to justify the thought that went into that bit of storyline.
However, it's too much crud to sit through just to enjoy those two bits of pleasant surprise. Rent it if you must but you'll be sooorrrryyyy...
