World Class Kung Fu Movie, September 30, 2002
A great Sammo Hung movie with a complicated plot.It pretty much has two plots running side by side. One is an evil master using deception to get revenge against the two good Kung Fu Masters who beat his brother. The second is a young man who starts secretly learning kung fu from both of the two good masters,but when he is found out gets booted from both schools,so he goes to learn kung fu from his friend Sammo Hung.The two plots meet up at the end when the young man has to defend his two former masters against the evil master, the evil masters three students and the evil masters newly returned brother.

All the good action comes at the end, June 6, 2007
This review is from: Incredible Kung Fu Master (DVD)
Steve Tung Wei stars as a young man named Kung Fu Chin. He really wants to be a great kung fu fighter and tries to learn as many styles as he can. The 2 teachers he is learning from have become rivals, and he has also found a 3rd teacher. Sammo Hung plays the 3rd teacher and tells Kung Fu Chin that kung fu is like food, eat all that you can as long as it's good. So while Kung Fu Chin is learning all the kung fu he can, Phillip Ko has a plan to kill the 2 rival teachers. He sends in 2 spies and says they are his sons.
Nothing much happens in this movie, it is just your standard kung fu flick where a kid gets picked on, learns kung fu, and then takes revenge. The training sequences are some of the best I have ever seen. Tung Wei can do things with his body that made me cringe. I only wish I was a tenth as flexible as him.
The final 25 minutes is non-stop action. It is missing the intensity, but the choreography is certainly there. It's a shame they didn't put much into the fighting unil the last few fights. At least it was a nice surprise to see so many good fights after so many average ones. Sammo looks brilliant, Phillip Ko looks as good as he always does, and Lee Hoi San and Steve Tung Wei also do great work. Lee Hoi San's performance comes close to matching his work in
Magnificent Butcher. Austin Tin Chi Wai has a good cameo fighting Sammo, but still, the kung fu is just lightweight. Only in Phillip Ko's fight did I get the feeling that someone may actually die. If you are looking for hardcore kung fu action with Tung Wei, then check out 'Killer Wears White' (AKA Shadow Ninja) which can be found in the
Martial Arts 50 Movie Pack Collection. 'Killer Wears White' is fast, furious, and downright brutal. 'Incredible Kung Fu Master' is just a walk in the park. This is a kung fu movie that the kids can watch.
3/5

Old "Skool' Kung Fu!!, June 6, 2006
This review is from: Incredible Kung Fu Master (DVD)
I noticed many reviewers refer to this flick as Amazing, Great and the Best Ever. I'm not sure about that. It does have good fight scenes from the start to finish, an acceptable plot and the picture quality and choreograpy was good. But certainly not a 4 or 5 star performance!! Yeah I would recommend it, but don't go into it with your hopes too high, you could fall kinda hard!!
