3.0 out of 5 stars Crazy doesn't even begin to describe this, April 22, 2008

This review is from: The Miracle Fighters (DVD)

I don't really know how to do this review, so I think I will do it Christopher Blackshere style.




Reasons why to watch this movie-

- to see a great opening scene with Eddie Ko that may just bring a tear to your eye.

- some guy lives in an urn and does some of the craziest fighting you will ever see.

- a sorcerer cuts off his own legs to try and win a contest.

- a talking fish.

- Yuen Shun Yi does an awesome job of playing a villain who uses bat kung fu, and he does a ton of other crazy stuff in the fights.

- a tribute to the great Simon Yuen

- probably the craziest Taoist magic ever put to film.

- Leung Kar Yan gives a GREAT acting performance.

- plenty of other stuff that is so awesome I can't even come up with a way to describe it. It's a hilarious movie and a wild experience. You may not ever watch it again, but you have to see it once.

Rating- 3.5/5

If you like this, make sure to check out Shaolin Drunkard and Taoism Drunkard. They are the same type of movies with the same actors. And another movie that is like Miracale Fighters is Drunken Dragon. Don't sleep on that one.


The picture quality on the Universe DVD is good and the subtitles are pretty well written.

4.0 out of 5 stars wacky, ingenious and highly entertaining, December 7, 1999

This review is from: The Miracle Fighters [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is one of the best fantasy/comedies from hong kong that I have seen. Yuen Woo Ping (Drunken Master, Magnificent Butcher, The Matrix) directs and choreographs this gem with great humour, inventiveness and flair. The sets and cinematography are also top notch. Some of the wacky set pieces include "a pedal-powered massage chair, a feather barometer, a homonculus-like baby, masks, flying drills, and a fighting stick-man". The film culminates with a tournament of sorcerers which is great fun. Many people that aren't die hard fans can find hong kong Cinema a bit of a chore but this is one of the films that will be enjoyed by anyone with a sense of humour and a taste for the bizarre and wacky. Also the Martial Arts scenes are fantastic - fast and furious with some stunning choreography - check it out!

5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL, September 19, 2009

This review is from: The Miracle Fighters (DVD)

One of the most imaginative and fun martial arts flicks of all time. My favorite Yuen Wo Ping film by far. Taoism Drunkard, Shaolin Drunkard and Drunken Dragon are the 3 films that most resemble the free flight creativity on display here but Miracle Fighters is the best of the bunch. I would love to see other martial arts films that are in the same vein if anyone can recommend any others.

I can't see how anyone who appreciates martial arts films and good films in general could not REALLY enjoy Miracle Fighters. It's one of those rare films that truly surpasses its genre. Don't hesitate to buy this DVD if it is available on Amazon as it seems to go out of stock for long stretches at a time and becomes hard to find otherwise.
