I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Awesome Movie
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This movie is awesome!don't let the old year scare you away! This movie truly has it all, nice scenery and exciting fights.Shaw Brothers did have a nose for great martial arts flicks and this one is one of them (one of the better they have released I would say)the film centers around man named Liu that marries a Japanese girl. They early in their marriage argue about which martial arts styles that are the best; Chinese or Japanese. He of course speaks for the Chinese arts and she for the Japanese. He insults here that hard that she leaves him and goes back to China. In an attempt to win her back he writes a letter and sends off to her, but are misunderstood and so he insults HER family so they seeks him up to have a duel.Now here is where this film becomes really interesting; Every Japanese that he fights has different styles and weapons so this movie really shows off various styles in Martial Arts.And it shows it off well. the actors really knows their stuff; they all move and fight AMASING!don't hesitate to wait, rent/buy it know!I shall also add: IVL (Intercontinental Video Limited) has re-released this film on DVD with re-mastered video and sound quality! and it truly looks good! so I recommend looking this version up.9/10
This is classic martial arts with everything that comes with it, including, to start with the downside first: A terrible English dub. The videotape I saw was also cropped. But if you can past that and get on to the movie you're in for a positive surprise. Drunk Shaolin.. is as good as it gets and offers a great sense of humor without getting silly. In brief the story is about a Chinese man who happens to be a kung fu expert marries a Japanese girl who is a an avid karate fighter. Trouble is certainly ahead as she chucks out her husband's Chinese kung fu weapons to make room for her own Japanese weapons, even worse: He insults her karate she takes it personally as so does her teacher in Japan and a group of his crack students, so they are off to China to challenge her husband to a duel. What follows is a fantastic display of Japanese contra Chinese weapons and techniques presented with considerable style as well as humor. I watched this film many times, it is joy forever. 8/10
If you like the Shaw Brothers Kung-fu movies and martial arts in general this is a cant miss. Gordon Lui plays a Chinese martial arts expert married off to a Japanese woman. Both are proud of there martial arts heritage and proceed to take on each other with all there countries weapons and arts. Kuda, his wife loses and returns to Japan in disgust. One of Lui's servants cooks up an idea to get here back by writing a mean letter ripping apart Japanese martial arts. Her teacher grabs the letter and takes it as an insult to there honor. Soon they travel to Japan changeling Lui once a day in different forms of Japanese martial arts, Kendo, Karate, numchuk, pole, yari, sai, Judo and then finally Ninjitsu. Defeating the kendo man and not taking his sword dishonor's him greatly and attempts seppuku but is stopped. The Japanese do there best to stop him, but Gordon takes them out one by one, apologizing about the sword incident and wining there respect. This is a great Shaw Brothers movie and surprisingly no one dies. Instead this showcases many forms of martial arts and weapons. Lui is one of the great Kung Fu leads of the 70's and I have always enjoyed him. I give this a 9 out of 10.
Gordon Liu... what else should be said?This movie is great... from Liu slapping around his servant to his servant eying up Liu's wife's open top to the excellent fight scenes, this is without a doubt excellent entertainment. Quite fun, and quite funny!Note: the ninja at the end is the same actor that appears as the master in Jet Li's Fist of Legend (the guy who cuts paper (or leaves? can't remember) with his swipes).If you can find this one, it's a gem. Don't miss it, esp. if you're a Liu fan.
