5.0 out of 5 stars One to remember, January 16, 2001

By 

Will (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dreadnaught (DVD)

Dreadnaught is really a film to remember and perhaps a piece worthy and notable in any collection. As a martial arts enthusiast I looked for impressive fight sequences, great technical choreography, and of course, originality. This film employs all these qualities. Yuen Biao is in top form as well as the legendary Kwan Tak Hing. The story line actually has more substance than the vanguard of films in this genre, and it embodies typical chinese humor and culture. The film marks one of the more notable ones in Yuen Biao's career, and the footage no doubt proves it. In respect to the previous reviews, I agree with Mr. Ryan and disagree with Phil. Perhaps he is right with his analysis of a different type of martial arts film in mind. This is a classic film, traditional, or rather, old school. For the enthusiasts out there or even the ones with questions-I emplore you, watch the film. My first image of it was a preview from a film I can't remember. That drove me to watch it and I consider it to be one of the greatest films of its type. By type I specifically mean traditional wu shu, no wire work, Chinese settings and time period, etc. If you enjoy, I recommend Drunken Master, Magnificent Butcher, and Young Master. Thanks for listening to one man's words.

4.0 out of 5 stars DIFFERENT IS COOL!, July 31, 2003

This review is from: Dreadnaught (DVD)

This is not your average kung fu classic, more of a comedy chase caper. Yuen Biao does his normal share of amazing stunts but what makes this film cool is the unique fighting styles and the endearing relationships between the bumbling protagonist and those around him. Not as hard hitting as YOUNG MASTER or MAGNIFICENT BUTCHER, this film is still a gem worth having in the finest of kung fu collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Far from Yuen Biao's best, April 27, 2008

By 

morgoth "we lamas are traditional enemies of ... (omaha, NE) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dreadnaught (DVD)

Yuen Biao stars as a young man who does not know kung fu, but he wants to become a disciple of Wong Fei Hung. His friend Foon (played by Leung Kar Yan) wants to help him out. Leung Kar Yan is just great in this movie. Phillip Ko stars, and wants to get rid of Wong Fei Hung's school. He hires a crazy killer played by Yuen Shun Yi to help him with his evil deeds. It's not a great story or anything, but it's passable. I was a bit disappointed with this movie, but with such a great cast and plenty of good fights, I can't really complain. I just wish the final fight was done differently. Having Yuen Biao not know kung fu hurt the movie, especially in the final fight. I had a good time watching this, but I would put Knockabout, Prodigal Son and at least a couple others far ahead of it as Yuen Biao's best movie.

3.5/5

I have the Megastar version and the picture quality is good.
