Good Story with good Action,
By A Customer
This review is from: All Men Are Brothers: Blood of the Leopard (DVD)
This is one of a handful of Hong Kong martial arts movie that features a strong plot with a developed storyline. The fight scenes are on par but does not contain the explosiveness or grace usually found in either a Jet Li's or a Jackie Chan's movie. However what this movie really excels in is character's development. You have a sense of who the characters are and what motivate them. It also has a good blend of humor, action, and light romance. Recommended for all those familiar with the "Bandits of The Marsh" (Shuihu Zhuang) books.

Something that might interest ^_^,
By Raphael Robbins (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Men Are Brothers: Blood of the Leopard (DVD)
The main reason I bought this was because it was based on one of my favorite books, Shui Hu Zhuan (a.k.a. All Men are Brothers, or Outlaws of the Marsh). Video game fans may notice that this is the book that the Suikoden series of RPG's is loosely based on. I was very satisfied with this movie, and would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of martial arts films or classic Chinese Literature. If you're a fan of the game, it's fun to draw parallels between the characters -- Lin Chung is the Tenyu star, a role which is filled by Kasim in Suikoden 1, and Hauser in Suikoden 2. These characters are all very bound by duty, and always follow orders. Lu chi Sum is the Tenko star, which in Suikoden 1 and 2 is the well known character of Viktor. I thought that would be interesting to any fans of the game. Regardless of that, it's a nicely done movie, and definitely worth owning

Classic Kung Fu Action.,
By
This review is from: All Men Are Brothers - Blood of the Leopard [VHS] (VHS Tape)
All men are brothers is the story of Lin Chun, a naïve but honorable general, and his friendship with Monk, Lu Chi Sum.When Lin Chun inadvertently humiliates a nobles' young son, the cowardly youth plots revenge. He frames Lin Chun in a plot to assassinate a high-ranking official, and in the ensuing scandal has him humiliated, branded and left for dead. Only the clever monk Lu Chi Sum can save him. Can Lin Chun restore his honor? All men are brothers is a classic HK action movie, with several truly endearing characters and a memorable friendship between Chun and Sum. Some plots and scenes in this movie are quite hilarious, especially at the beginning. However, the movie darkens quite a bit towards the end, and became slowly, more progressively violent. Overall, I loved this movie, and found it quite entertaining! My only disappointment was the seemingly abrupt ending, and the rather badly misspelled English subtitles. If you like humorous, campy HK action films, don't miss this one. It's over-the-top Kung Fu at its best!
