One of my favorite Kung fu films from my youth. My brother had a copy when I was five on VHS. Lost track of it and never knew the name. Fast forward to the age of the Internet; with some research and IMDB I finally found the film again in my teens. I’m 35 now and I just discovered that Amazon Prime Video has it!
Sadly it seems to be the British cut without the nunchucks, which turned said fight into a short unsatisfying scene. It also has a line cut out mid dubbing when the thief is trying to convince the captain to go back (right before the acrobat fight). Neither of these problems existed on the American VHS.
On the plus side, it’s no longer restrained to 4:3. You can see all the characters where they were meant to be seen! No longer do I have to wonder who said “the cooks gone!”
I’d watch it again... but I miss the nunchucks.

I love this kung fu movie. A classic
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2012
Ok so after ordering a dvd of the same movie and only to receive it and be of bad quality, I went on to read reviews and found that some said that this original vhs tape was uncut and good quality so I proceeded to purchase it. Well, one thing was true, it is uncut and features the nunchuku scene among other scenes as well but I have to say that the video quality is terrible. My buddy at Motophoto did his best at transferring the vhs to dvd using a high tech vhs player and other filters to bring out the best quality and still couldn't save it. In other words, this version is still of equal bad quality as those bootlegs that are being sold out there. Hope the true master tapes will be released by the parent company some day, then we can get a good copy of this classic.

This movie had alot of excellent fighting scenes!!! Bruce Li's character is noble but dark. He has a mean streak. He is very intense and serious about bringing the bandit criminals to justice dead or alive!!
In this movie, Li plays a police chief who must lead his inept department of not so good kung fu fighters against some highly skilled bad guys.
One unique scene features a man standing on another man's shoulders and fighting together as one person against Bruce Li!
That sounds different because it is the first time I have seen a fight scene choreographed this way.
Because of Ho Chung Tao (Bruce Li) and the unique fight scenes that you must see to believe, I give this movie a 5 star rating. Another amazing action movie from the legendary Ho Chung Tao!!

Bruce Li plays the part of a cop who employs prisoners in exchange for their freedom to jail or kill a ruthless organized crime syndicate in pure Kung Fu fashion. This is my favorite Bruce Li movie EVER because the action never stops! A Kung Fu movie lovers dream come true! If you like martial arts action and do not mind clearly outdated sound effects and the classic dubbing of Mandarin to English, this is a must-have! Bruce Li at his finest!

Dirty Dozen Rides Again...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2010
AKA - Shen Long (1878)
Bruce Li in a cobbled together hybrid of The Magnificent Seven/Seven Samurai and The Dirty Dozen. Li is a ruthless sheriff who comes to the rescue of a village tormented by evil bandits and whips up a rag-tag posse of hardened crims to see off the wrong-doers. Death or pardon is the choice that Li lays down and his crack-team of rapscallions somersault at this slim chance of freedom.
Bad kung fu lovers will be in transcendent nirvana as the 4-man centipede temple defenders whip into action, culminating in a snake style boss fight with unconvincing scale make-up. A cracking scrap in main bad guy's Xanadu keeps going until no one is left standing. My favourite melee was the two escaped circus performers (bald geezers with leopard skin bandoliers) who kick posterior as a symbiotic unit. For around a quid, you must own this!
