5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY IT"S HERE..., April 26, 2009

This review is from: Sword Masters: The Battle Wizard **Shaw Brothers** (DVD)

I have been waiting for this movie to be released for quite some time now (years). I remember seeing a poster or lobby card of a white haired master spewing fire from from his mouth. Needless to say that's pretty much all I needed to sell me on this film. So finally it's here and it does not disappoint. Well, it would probably would disappoint martial arts purist nerds that want their movies to be "real". I however love to find wildest and weirdest movies possible. The picture and sound quality are really amazing.I wont go into a extensive plot review, but the movie is essentially a fairy tale. There isn't necessarily a lot of martial arts but there is plenty of super powered magic. The fact this movie is Shaw Bros. just makes it all the better! Ok, so here's a few things that make this movie great...fire breathing bird leg extending wizard, extensive animated "ch'i" laser blasts from hands and fingers, giant red snake whose blood gives you super strength, berserk gorilla with arm chopped off, horny bald ogre with chain extending claw hand, pit of death, glowing attack frog, dagger shooting bone, snakes inside a man, technicolor melting face, and more! It all must be seen to be believed. If you are a fan of bizarre cinema give this one a try it really is a lot of fun. This movie is also sold in a four movie box set which is also worth looking into.

This review is from: Sword Masters: The Battle Wizard **Shaw Brothers** (DVD)

This movie with English/Cantonese versions. Very clear and good quality film. The Shaw Brothers put this one together too. Not much fighting but lots of magical triggers and good layouts in the scenery. This movie rates a 3.5 in my book but given it 4 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Harry Potter, November 28, 2011

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Sword Masters: The Battle Wizard **Shaw Brothers** (DVD)

One woman uses snakes and a venomous frog as her weapons, another uses what looks like a femur bone.. but not as a blunt object.. it shoots small red arrows. Lots of dismembered limbs.. mostly from laser beams that come out of people's hands. A bit of decent kung fu, but mostly rampant absurdity. Highlights include a fight with a man in a gorrilla suit, Tuan Yu gaining super-human ability through biting and drinking the blood of a large rubber python and the fact that the film is hardly longer than an hour.

I'd also give this 3 and a half stars, so this works out.

If you don't have the other films in the set, buy the first shaw brothers collection instead of purchasing this individually. That is, if you don't mind slim cases. It includes the remastered version of this film (identical to the one being sold here individually) as well as The Heroic Ones, The Duel Of The Century and Two Champions Of Shaolin.
