Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Madilyn 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.

thedeadlyspawn79 When I watched this movie it was called Fists of Shaolin, which is odd because not a single punch is thrown in the entire film. However, if stick fighting is your thing then this movie is for you. I couldn't possibly comment on the authenticity of the fight scenes but they are certainly entertaining, especially the final duel. All the usual ingredients are present-bad dubbing, ridiculous characters etc. yet a lot of the humour appears to be intentional. The villain is a real highlight, sporting the trademark long white beard and hair which is so popular amongst evildoers in martial arts flicks. Although the story isn't particularly original and I wouldn't be surprised to learn the score was stolen from another movie I thoroughly recommend this film.

phillip-58 For fans of stick fighting this is a treat though the actual fighting, though featuring nearly every type of stick (including an iron bar) is not to the same standard as say '8 Diagram Pole Fighter'. But Don Wong Tao, though not a great actor, is athletic and dominates the screen. Chang Yi is great as Lu Tai-yeh, a Silver Fox type figure who for reasons never explained wants to kill every other stick fighter he can find. Ha Kwong Li and Kam Kong help along the way. The story is very ordinary, the comedy more than usually annoying (except for the probably unintentional humour of a teacher's dying words to his idiot son) but the final fight in a bamboo grove is worth waiting for. The Vengeance DVD is a reasonable print with bad dubbing. The only extras are a deleted scene.

Dharm Singh A very under-rated martial arts film, its got great action and humour and I strongly recommend any martial arts movie fan to watch this. It is true that majority of the fighting in this film uses sticks and has very little hand to hand combat but nevertheless its a good movie and great action. I only wish that more time and money could've been spend to give the the movie more of a story line i.e. some romance which was evident between the two main characters in the film. The ending could have been longer and better. The English dubbing could have been improved, but hey I would keep their funny accents since those give the movie humour. I agree this film is better than a lot of more so called good martial arts movies like Big Boss.

john_r035 This is a pretty typical early Hong Kong kung-fu film - i.e. Young man who looks like Bruce Lee has to fight a bad guy. However, the fighting sequences are quite good, and the dubbed English version, which I saw has quite a lot of humour. Although the picture quality isn't too good, I found it better than, for example, Bruce Lee's 'The Big Boss'. 6/10.
