I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I remember seeing this movie as a kid and thinking it was the best Kung-Fu movie I had ever seen. I recently saw it on sale and purchased it,not knowing if it was going to be as good as I remembered. It was better! The fight scenes are fantastic and the story keeps you interested. There are some scenes that made me laugh out loud, but that's to be expected from a low budget Chop-Sockey flick. The different weapons and fighting styles are what keeps the story going and the elements (gold, wood, fire, water, earth) are really a force to reckon with. This movie isn't to be taken seriously, have fun with it. If you do like this movie, check out "Five Deadly Venoms".

It all started when I turned 9 and was allowed to stay up past midnight and watch VHS movies with some friends...The previous day I had skulked the local video store and found a beat up half sun baked faded video named"Chinese Super Ninjas." All I can say is that title does not lie. Since then I've converted all my friends (and family) Into the glory that is "Wu dun ren shu." Years later my wife even rented out the local Art House Theater and screened it for my 25th Birthday party. It was glorious, and I soon found myself in tears fighting life size projections of my personal heroes. Who can forget?!?"I've been poisoned, I can't use my powers for three months." "Don't do it! Losing is not unusual!" "I'm unworthy!" (Slices jugular with tinfoil axe)The dirt (earth) ninjas The tree ninjas (the one in the McDonald's playground tree) The dripping thigh bacon (then stepping on it!) The wonderful Shaw gore, sets, and sound effects
And so much moreStory ** Cinematography * Entertainment ***** Lasting Impression *****

'Superb'. 'Masterpiece'. 'King of Kung Fu'. These are just some of the superlatives used to describe this Film. Are we talking about the same film? This indeed is a 'Masterpiece'. A 'Masterpiece' in how not to make a Kung Fu film. Rubbish Actors, A Dire Plotline, Embarrassing Acting, Cringe infesting Fight Chorography and Wooden Props. So it has all the ingredients needed for a Cult Classic. You would be better of giving your hard earned £s to charity than Rent (or Buy) this time waster.

For a seventies/eighties era kung fu film, its good. It has interesting costumes, weapons, and action. It is the best Shaw Bros. film I have seen so far. This film is jammed packed with fights and never has a dull moment. The only thing bad about it is some moments where the wirework was unbelievable.
