if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

If you're a Cliff Lok can like I am,see this movie. Cliff is the Kung Fu genius - he's able to copy anyone's style of Kung Fu after seeing them fight, thus gaining the ability to whoop their asses.With a doofy sidekick,he opens a Kung Fu school and that's when the trouble starts. With a simple,basic plot that's understandable, this is one of the better martial arts movies out there. Plenty of fighting that's pretty good, a story a six year old can understand, Cliff Lok, AND Lee Hoi San, you can't go wrong. Grab a beer or three and watch with friends.

The movie starts with Cliff Lok showing off for his student Cheng Kang-Yeh. But when no one can beat you and you can master every style is it showing off? It is too soon to be serious so the movie has a lot of fun first. Many are offended by the new guy in town who dares to open up a new kung fu school and many challengers come. Cliff defeats them all. Real kung fu has animal styles then these movies came along and added many more. I tried to make a list once but lost track. Let's just say that these movies came up with a kung fu style for pretty much every living thing. Plus a hierarchy was invented: monkey beats snake and drunken beats monkey and so on. Styles were invented just for comedic effect. In this movie we have reached peak style and it is time to get back to the spirit of martial arts.If you get this movie (and most people do not) you will feel the spirit of Bruce Lee in the final fight. Cliff Lok and Wilson Tong achieved in this movie what Bruce Lee intended to do with The Game of Death plus they made a comedy out of it. A true kung fu genius, like Bruce Lee, is like water – adapts and overcomes. This movie is non-stop fights. It is all about the martial arts, there is no other plot. It has comedy. Back to the non-stop fights – every fight is unique, nothing is repeated. I consider it one of the best ever and rate it nine out of ten.

Hmmmm another movie that steals its sound track from George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead....I really couldn't believe what I was hearing..lol Fairly standard kung fu fair ...pretty funny in places and pass's the time. After I heard The Goblin I had to watch on just to see if they had stolen anymore. There's also some pretty nice funk breaks as well, blatantly taken from other soundtracks. Lots of punch noises and blade sounds ...and the kind of dubbing you would expect to find sampled in a lot of 90's hip-hop. The film's no masterpiece but has some excellent fight sequences...There's a great one with a hola-hoop....I kid you not!5/10

I don't want to get carried away, but KUNG FU GENIUS has to be my absolute FAVORITE kung fu movie of all time. Even were it not for the crisp, invigorating, and off-the-wall fight scenes, the non-intelligence-insulting plot, the slick badass main character, his very amusing whiny bitch of a sidekick, and the drunken monkey AND the duck method, even were it not for ALL those things, I would STILL adore KUNG FU GENIUS, for one reason and one reason only: Supporting Character Gets Kicked In The b***s, Subsequently Begins Acting Like A Robot. You just can't beat that, I tell you.
