... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreIt's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreBasically there was this guy trained in Tai chi since he was a kid (hence `Born Invincible'). The whole plot of the movie is just about some kung-fu school figuring out how to kill this guy in order to keep their school's honor. The movie manages to keep you sitting through the whole thing. I usually get bored by real bad kung-fu films and then fast-forward to the fights to wake myself up, but this was intriguing enough to pay attention to. It all started when some students tried to help an old man getting beaten by the villain's henchmen. This then establishes the years long feud. Eventually, the henchmen are killed until there's a final showdown with the main villain of the film. And they're ready to exploit his weakness, which the movie took some time to figure out. The kung fu here has lots of fancy flips and jumps (villains finishing move is a jump-flip head-butt). This isn't some goofball kung fu although the movie is pretty hilarious cause of the cliché bad guy and Asian people fighting for honor as if they'd die without it. I'm looking a bit too deep here, but the best thing about this film is it questioned whether it's right if the good guys cheat in fights for justice. The dubbing is hilarious and over the top like in all horribly brilliant kung-fu films. Good film to watch every now and then to see some ideal kung fu fighting. 9/10
... View MoreThis is the movie full of fighting but it uses a good story line to keep you wondering just how they will defeat them. Lo-lieh, Lung-fei, Carter wong , these are the star who caught my attention and kept me into the story even though fei died early on the movie his student keep his dream alive
... View MoreThis is one of the rare kungfu movies ever made in Hong Kong. Nothing is boring here : interesting script, direct and efficient scenery, good acting. But what makes this movie so good is the fight scenes that are inventively and beautifully choreographed. Not only it's very good but it's also very hard-to-find. Dammage.
... View MoreThis is one of the best kung-fu films I have seen. The originality, which is common in kung-fu films, is astounding. The characters are great; Carter Wong is awesome as the villain. A classic kung-fu film.
