Synopsis

China is in unrest, as the Republic falls prey to Warlords like Kahn Xin, who holds an entire province hostage to the opium trade—and destroys all who oppose him. Only the revered Wudang monks dare stand in Kahn’s way in order to protect the very soul of China. Among them is the Westerner, White Crane, a spiritual master of the martial arts and protector of the innocent. Revenge is not in Crane’s heart—until a mercenary army storms the temple and slaughters the beloved female Grandmaster Myling. Out of the ashes of the temple ruins, Crane rises—with vengeance in his heart. Crane comes upon Jane Marshall, a New York lounge singer and her gangster boss Bingo Quo. But it’s Bingo’s dangerous professional ties to Kahn that draw both Crane and Jane deep into the Warlord’s lair. Now torn between the spiritual Wudang teaching and the cold-blooded life of an assassin, Crane is about the cross the fine line between justice and revenge.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Hugh Boy Were do I start? How bout DO NOT see this movie! I watch almost every Kung Fu/Martial Arts movie that comes out. I love anything with Jackie Chan, Jet Li and any Shaw Bros films. This movie is trash from beginning to end. With an M 15 + rating, there is little to no kill scenes and the fight scene with that decrepit old man hurt to watch. This movies script could have been written by a three year old. The most corny thing I think I have ever seen. I created an IMDb account so I could warn people like myself from wasting their time and money on this abomination of a Kung Fu Film. Apparently there was some acting... I missed it. Do your self a favour (correct spelling in Australia) even with its enticing name, DO NOT do it to yourself, you will only regret it !
kenhap This was quite a lavish and entertaining mini series. Surprised to see an epic on Spike! Good fight scenes with Carradine still showing the Kill Bill training. Daryl Hannah pulls off the jazz singer roll quite well. Night one establishes Carradine hiding out in a kungfu monastery which is attacked by government forces. Seems like he is the only survivor of this gory fight which kills his mentor, an old woman kung fu master who raised him as a child. In typical fashion White Crane" sets off for the big city to take his revenge on the rulers of the land. Great period pieces of 1930s Shanghai Definitely worth checking out.
tvroller This rocks! Can't believe Spike went all the way to China to do one of its movies. Most of their stuff is lame but this looks like a real movie. Not a big Fan of Darryl Hannah but she did okay. Carradine was good, looked pretty strong. The Chinese girls were HOT. The story was solid but the best part was the action. Some of the fighting was insane and bloody so I got my moneys worth. Spike usually plays buckets of these old martial art movies but its good to see they're making them now. I'm just wondering what's the deal with the two movies. Was this supposed to be a series or something? If it is then maybe I'll watch it. My only complaint is they didn't show more of the hot girls.
gridoon2018 "Kung Fu Killer"'s main drawing card is that it reunites two big names from "Kill Bill" - David Carradine and Daryl Hannah - but let's face it, this is not the shining moment in either of their careers: Carradine is getting too old and static to participate in continuous action scenes, and Hannah has a rather thankless "object of desire" role. The real reason for which I would recommend seeing this film is the presence of Anya as a henchwoman. Apparently she had a near-fatal car accident in 2003, but she returned to her career, and despite a couple of remaining scars, she still looks stunningly beautiful. She also seems to have worked on both her martial arts skills (impressive) and her acting (arguably the best in the film - though her character suffers at points from poor writing, and it seems as if the writers wanted to suggest that she is lesbian but not go "all the way"). The story is kind of slow and plain, but the production values are passable, and there is some good fighting at certain points; I liked how the choreographers incorporated choking / grappling techniques in the fights - particularly when Lin Tong Hsu (the Head Siren) used them!
