Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Wordiezett So much average

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Wizard-8 From my above summary line, you may have concluded that I do not like Hong Kong/Taiwanese kung fu movies. Actually, I really enjoy these movies... at least those made from the mid-1980s on. Efforts made in the 70s for the most part I must admit do not move me, including this one. It is a little better than average, thanks to not only some good looking sets and costumes, but also some skillful camera work and visual composition. But apart from that stuff, I was bored for the most part. The scenes involving kung fu are indistinguishable from the dreary kung fu you usually get in a 70s movie. The story is thin and curiously keeps the movie's heroine off of the screen for large chunks of time. You won't be missing much if you skip seeing this movie, and I can only recommend it for die hard fans of Angela Mao - and even they will find much of the movie dreary and boring.

Woodyanders Feisty ace martial artist Chu Siew Yen (a sound and commanding performance by the beautiful and charismatic Angela Mao; Bruce Lee's sister in "Enter the Dragon") promises her teacher that she will find his missing brother. During her search she also tries to find the person who killed her parents. Of course, accomplishing said tasks proves to be easier said than done as Chu faces opposition from many people while attempting to uncover the truth. Karl Liao's energetic direction maintains a snappy pace throughout and stages the plentiful chopsocky action with considerable rip-roaring brio. The slight and often jumbled plot is really nothing more than a flimsy excuse to show off Mao's incredibly agile, athletic, and exciting martial arts prowess. Fortunately, Mao more than holds her own as she takes on several folks all at once and manages to retain her poise and dignity as the story gets more increasingly silly and unintentionally funny (one gut-busting camp highlight has Mao fighting a bunch of women armed with deadly giant exploding flowers!). The handsome widescreen cinematography by Sun-po Li and Yung-hin Cheng boasts a sizable number of smooth gliding tracking shots and makes the most of the pretty rural scenery. Fu Liang Chou's rousing score also hits the stirring spot. The dubbing is really bad and thus adds to the picture's considerable kitschy charm. An entertainingly inane diversion.

gridoon2018 I saw this Angela Mao film on a double-feature DVD, where it was accompanied by "Yoga And The Kung-Fu Girl". I expected the former to be the better of the two, but boy was I wrong! "Moonlight Sword And Jade Lion" is one of the most badly made films I've seen in a LONG time. I stopped following the plot about 30 minutes in, and from that point on I had no idea what was going on, nor did I care. According to IMDb, this is the ONLY film that "screenwriter" Ren Chung ever worked on, and thank God for that! You might think that the fight scenes could possibly redeem the picture, but they don't: they range from the forgettable to the ridiculous (a lot of the characters seem to have unexplained superhuman abilities). Another disappointment is that Angela Mao does about 95% of her fighting with a spear. Still, her extreme beauty is the only reason this film escapes the lowest possible rating.

Jeff Marzano 'Moonlight Sword And Jade Lion' is one of my all time favorite movies.I think I like it because the main idea is Angela goes out on her own to find a friend of her father's and find out the truth about her parents' murder.A sub plot is this guy has one of a pair of jade lions and if he gets the other one he will become 'master of the Kung Fu world'. However it's not clear to me why.The sound on 'Moonlight Sword' is bad and it's in the wide screen format. On my TV this only uses about 50 percent of the available screen. I don't understand why people like this format.This was a different time in history where there was no mass communications. This guy wants to have a meeting with someone so he throws a knife at the guy's face and shouts "Get in touch with me.".There's also two guys who I think are twins (one the good guy and one the villain) and they kill people by throwing big knives into the back of their heads just when they are going to say something important."You don't understand. It wasn't our fault. We were under orders from .......UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !" To me the greatest scene is Angela gets surrounded by these gals who are carrying explosive flowers. She takes them all out with her telescopic spear.Then she goes into the 'temple of doom' that has various hazards such as flying saw blades.Jeff Marzano
