Martial Arts Movie Fans: Buy this one!, January 8, 2000
This review is from: Blade of Fury (DVD)
You will not be disappointed. At one hour and forty one minutes, there must be sixty minutes of incredible fight scenes packed onto this DVD. Villans who ride real dromedary CAMELS into battle; incredible sword fighting; excellent hand techniques; two Sifus dueling on top of umbrellas; a fighting Empress Dowager; topped off with Shaw Brothers movie veteran, Ti Lung. What else do you need. Watch for the scene where the decapitated head is still smoking the cigarette! And the cameo appearence of Sammo Hung [who directed the film]. Incredible! This will be some of the best DVD dollars you have spent.

a phenominal movie that is also a great kung-fu movie, May 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Blade of Fury (DVD)
I've watched this one 3 times in as many weeks. I own more than 150 movies, and I've watched most of them only once. This one actually has a plot. it also has great cinematography, great sets, great flow, and some absolutely amazing fight scenes. the execution scene is very moving.

Saving the Unsalvageable, January 2, 2010
This review is from: Blade of Fury (DVD)
Some reviews consider the greatness of this movie as the movements of two or more opposing (conflicting) martial arts bodies without "ideology". I disagree with this. I think the greatness of this movie is that consistently, from beginning to end, it shows the unity of spirit to save the seemingly dying China, to save the unsalvageable. This is illustrated, inter alia, by the choice of demise of the young master so that his blood can empower other patriots. The campaigns of the historically future emperor, Yuan Shi Kai are also manificent and point to this direction. But, all these are not to say that the martial sequences are not fantastic. The martial arts sequences are also fantastic: excellent hand to hand combat, conflicts of various weapons, etc. The use of unusually large swords are particularly unique and magnificent. Lastly, fans of Cynthia Khan of which I am one will find her charming. When she opens her big mouth, we all laugh with her. When she crys before the young master, we are saddenned with her. I am happy to give this movie 6 star.
