Movie Reviews of Showdown at the Cotton Mill
Movie Review: I have a question
Summary: 5 Stars
To anybody who saw 2 champions fo Shaolin: Which movie came out first? They are both listed for 1978, but I believe this came out first and 2 champions stole a great idea from this movie (cottonmill). If anybody knows, please post it casue I have to believe that this movie had the idea first. Anybody?
I have to start out by talking about the picture quality. Restored, but still pretty bad. It is letterboxed, and luckily only at the end of one fight scene does the bad picture take effect. But even with the bad print they used, THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY OLD SCHOOL FAN!!!!!
Showdown at the Cottonmill is a pretty unique film and it kind of had a samurai movie feeling. But Toshiro Mifune neevr beat down people like Chi Kuan Chun. In the part that Cheng Cheh stole from this movie, Kuan takes off his shirt in preparation for a huge task. I honestly thought it was Brucwe Lee for a secodn. Not too many people are in shape like this guy.
So the movie is about this guy who has to keep beating people down because they keep messing with him or are just beating up innocent people. The Wudang school is very angry about this because Kuan is from a shaolin school so they send their northern champion (tan tao liang) to take him down. I have never seen Dorian tan play the villian before, but I sure would like to see it again :)
I would elaborate more on the film, but it is too good to give anything away.
Extras are really good. It has an interview with Kuan and the fat guy frmo the movie. AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE MOVIE!!!!!!
Awesome interview!!!!!!
There is also a evry brief kung fu demonstration by the 2 stars.
So DON'T FREAKING BUY THIS AND THEN SAY, WAAAAA, PICTURE QUALITY SUCKS. That's why I write reviwes, so you don't have a bad kugn fu movie experience.
Summary of Showdown at the Cotton Mill
With its fast-paced action sequences and lavish period-piece production design the Hong Kong film SHOWDOWN AT COTTON MILL is one of the forgotten and rarely seen classics of old-school kung fu cinema. Shaw Brothers regular Chi Kuan Chun stars as a master of the Southern Fist fighting style prompting the imperial Ching dynasty to send in a Wu Tang Northern Leg master to take down the rebel in an action-packed series of martial-arts battles.System Requirements:Running Time 84 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: SPORTS/GAMES/MIXED MARTIAL ARTS Rating: NR UPC: 787364677290Similar DVD Movies
