It doesn't get any better than this!, August 21, 2000
This review is from: Seven Grandmasters [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"7 Grandmasters" is a 70's-style kung-fu classic in every sense of the word. Now released in 1998 (what took so long!), this film is arguably one of if not the best kung fu movie ever made. It combines a solid and classic plot with classic plot twists, "secret book of strikes," animal form vs. animal form galore, grandmaster vs. grandmaster galore, and some of the most intricate intense kung fu action I have ever seen. Jack Long is fantastic. I remember seeing this film in its theatrical release, in Times Square, NYC as part of a triple bill in the late 70's or early 80's. I sat through 2 other films to see the film TWICE, as did everyone else! Put this one in a special place in your collection.

A Battle of Styles, TRUE CLASSIC!, July 17, 2000
This review is from: Seven Grandmasters [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Jack Long plays a ready to retire martial arts master, who holds off his retirement for one last crucial journey. He recieves a note saying in order to be considered the best, he must defeat the six other masters (monkey, snake, panther, tiger, eagle, dragon. Along with him he takes his grand daughter, and 2 of his best students. During there journey they come accross a ready to learn youngster (yi lee min) Who wants to become the masters student. But it takes a lot of convincing till finally he takes him in. on hi way to the title of grandmaster, he encounters a piece of his past that may come back to kill him. Great fight scenes, solid story, and Jack Long, what more can you want.
