Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

InjunNose Beginning in 1949, Kwan Tak-hing portrayed real-life Cantonese martial artist/herbalist/acupuncturist Wong Fei-hung in some seventy films. Four years after the conclusion of that long-running series, Kwan returned to the role in Golden Harvest's "The Skyhawk", a film in which Wong's Confucian ethics clash with the trend toward exaggerated violence in Hong Kong's basher subgenre. This conflict is never resolved, but there's some top-notch fighting as Wong and his young students (Carter Wong, Sammo Hung) oppose an evil gambling boss and his hired thugs (led by shaggy, wild-eyed Hwang In-shik) against the exotic backdrop of Thailand. Kwan Tak-hing was in his late sixties at the time and is doubled in two or three of the more strenuous scenes, but masterfully fends off a legion of much younger villains with staff, fighting fan and his bare hands. If you've never seen him in action, "The Skyhawk" is a good place to start.

Dan The Skyhawk is a great kung fu film staring Tak-Hing Kwan and Sammo Hung, Tak Hing Kwan plays the role of the Skyhawk.The Skyhawk is a polite reserved and peaceful master who doesn't like fighting. However, the things don't keep on being very well, and The Skyhawk has to use his skills against the bad guys. In addition, Sammo Hung plays his pupil called Fatty with his friend who has messed up with the bad guys.This film has a great plot, fair acting, great fights and a fantastic atmosphere which isn't cheesy this time. Actually, The Skyhawk is the real deal. Its characters are great, especially the bad guy with the long hair, He looks totally frightening and powerful. Moreover, the bad guys show no mercy when they kill, there are some shocking killings unlike in most of the kung fu flicks, they dead usually fall cheesily, and the film moves on. However,The Skyhawk has no such killings, its killings are raw and bloody! In a nutshell, The Skyhawk is a fine kung fu film, I suggest that you watch it if you are fond of kung fu cinema! 8/10

Brian Jeremiah The content is what is to be expected of a 1974 Kung Fu Flick.... however I have seen much better filming on Kung Fu Flicks from as far back as 1966. The night scenes are almost unintelligible they are so dark. I had a very tough time following the vast amount of nighttime scenes. The copy I had had 2 sets of subtitles and also, strangely enough, 2 sets of voice-overs.... both seem to be Chinese but different dialects. That made the audio difficult to follow which was fine as I don't speak Chinese. The subs were very difficult to read as well. Both main actors are in numerous other movies from that time and were very good in this film as well.

Matt The usual cast of characters crowd this early 1970s film. Not an unusually good or bad of 'chop-socky'. The highlight for me being watching Hwang In-Shik (Whang Ing-Sik) do some of his most realistic kicking on film. All too briefly, though! Having trained under the hapkido teacher I can attest to the fact that the few moments where he gets to cut loose in this film better approximates what it was/is like to have him in front of you than in any of his other films, such as Hapkido, Young Master, or Dragon Lord, despite the better quality of those films and greater screen time.A film worth watching with the usual strengths and weaknesses of the genre at this time.
