Movie Reviews of The Shaolin Invincibles
Movie Review: Mindbendingly ridiculous old school kung fu classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start the review by saying that this is terrible - a bad film on an even worse DVD. Its poorly dubbed bad sound quality is only outdone by its abysmal picture quality which gives us a scratched (more like run over by a truck!) full screen presentation of a widescreen film. So why in the world would I give this monstrosity 5 stars?!?!?
Three words - KUNG FU GORILLAS!
To be more accurate I should say, stunt guys in the worst $10 gorilla outfits ever, trained by wizards with 4 foot tongues that can be used as weapons, that fight two hot girls (including the drop dead gorgeous Doris Lung Chung-erh from the classic old school "Master of the Flying Guillotine") and are invincible except for the soft spots on their heads that projectile erupt blood. Carter Wong fights the wizards (and their tongues!), there are even more gorilla fights, and if you insist on some real kung fu in your kung fu movies, let me remind you that we not only have the talents of the aforementioned Carter Wong, we also have Jack Long and Delon 'Flash Legs' Tam from "The Hot, The Cool and The Vicious"!
Sadly there is no DVD with a better presentation of this cheesy kung fu classic, so this will have to do. Who knows, maybe it wouldn't be as fun if it was all cleaned up and shiny.
This is not a movie for uber-traditionalist martial arts fans who demand realism in the on screen fighting techniques and serious story lines, but if you are a fan of films like the equally over the top (but more serious) "Master of the Flying Guillotine", I think you will really have a lot of fun watching this film. A classic!
