Movie Reviews of Shaolin Chastity Kung FuMovie Review: If you enjoy kung fu movies, then you may enjoy this tilte Summary: 5 Stars
Shaolin Chastity Kung Fu Wow, this is a kung fu movie!! (just remember this movie was produced in the early eighties, you, the viewer, are not going to get the same "flash" as a recent Jet Li movie nor computer enhanced fight scenes like in Crouching tiger hidden dragon)Reasons: Scenes: 1)Amazing bodily contortions and acrobatics! -Men and women standing on each others heads -Human formations, sometimes up to 20 people connected together in mid air by the few anchored on the ground. -women bending their bodies like pretzels and literally folding themselves in half! -it is not just the same few people doing all of the bodily movements, but 20 to 30 different people. 2) Fight scenes--Extremely brutal Some people get their heads torn off by a gigantic mallet (the same wepon seen durring the fight scene at the restaurant in Crouching tiger hidden dragon, being wielded by the two large fighters--the wepon looks like a giant maraca) A villain gets wrapped up in sheets and is then beaten to death by about thirty sticks being wielded by children!!! Blood pours all over the place (and the camera) as they strike him repeatedly all over the body. One man gets split in half by a villain, the two sections of his body flying in different directions If you, the reader, have ever seen a Kung Fu movie, you know when a character gets hit, that person usually spits up a little fake blood from their mouth, but, in this movie, it sprays!! Weapons: Spiked clubs, mallets, brass knuckles, one villain has chains attached to his legs, and there are many more gruesome scenes throughout the movie, I do not want to spoil it by telling you all of them, but you get the general idea 3) Good training scenes Two Shaolin monks teach some children and adults of a nearby village Chastity Kung Fu, an extreme fighting style virtually unstoppable, to have revenge on the Nine Devil gang, who attacked and destroyed the village where the children lived. ---2) The Characters ***The villains The villains portaied in this movie are extremely violent, each having a special skill of either weapons, hand-to-hand combat, or extreme strength. They are known as the Nine devils and they use their weapons to create havoc all throughout the movie. ***The Good Guys Two Shaolin monks, a teacher--the old and wise type--, and his young student--the powerful fighter. Many young children, adolescents and a few adults: the people learn the Kung Fu style from the monks when they found out what the Nine Devil Gang did to their families and town. They perform amazing acrobatic feats and are all-around good Kung-fu fighters, but most of the major action is done by the older adolescent/adult ones. Sometimes they do flips like the ones seen in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Technical info: The Dubbing, 5 out of 5 stars: The dubbing for this movie was excellent, for all of the characters had different voices and they sounded very "crisp" and clear without any strong western accents, a quality that is partly the reason I gave this movie a rating of five stars for, in some movie dubs it sounds like there is only one man doing both the women and male voices, and sometimes a 16th century Shaolin monk has a "John Wayne" western accent, which really lowers the quality of a film. DVD layout: Not much to say, the menus and all of their sub-menues worked. There are a couple extra features on the DVD, like an extra fight scene from a different movie--it is about 5-8 minutes long--and a rap video by the Wu-Tang Clan (the people on the cover)--which I did not />One person gave this movie only one star for the reason that their DVD did not work, sometimes that happens, manufacutures make hunreds of thousands of DVDs, and sometimes one is "defective", but that is no reason to say the movie is bad, because they did not watch it, they just had a defective DVD
