The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Anyone can be a martial artist whether they are normal or handicapped. For two men, they overcame betrayal. One man lost his arms to the other fighter, and the one who maimed him is double-crossed by his own master, gets his legs burned off. So both men are have to cooperate against him and his crew. The armless fighter packs some powerful kicks and his stubby end helps him hold the staff without major difficulty. The legless fighter works on his arm strength, and can land his weight with devastating results. The mission for these men is Revenge! Betrayed by their master, these men will not stop until he is dealt with! Now training in the martial arts is grueling, and it happens to strengthen the individual. For people who are crippled, they have to experience the same with a few differences there. This movie is very fascinating, very intriguing, and very intensifying. I enjoyed it very well. 3 out of 5 stars!

This is a pretty ordinary martial arts flick overall, plot-wise. Good Guy is done wrong, is trained in martial arts by an Old Master, good guy gets revenge, the end. The Good Guy, in this case, however, is not just humiliated like the heroes in these films generally are, but dismembered. Both arms are hacked off. Then he's humiliated. There is an interesting twist, however, in that the fellow who has the hero's arms hacked off has his own legs shriveled into uselessness by the Bad Guy, Lin Chung Kung, pouring acid on them. There are some decent martial arts sequences to keep things interesting, but when The Old Master is introduced into the story, seemingly for no reason at all, in food basket, it just gets too corny. I suppose no one really expects high cinematic art from these things, though, do they? One of the most interesting things about this film are the stars, Frankie Sum (Lee Ho) and Jack Conn (Tau). Sum was a thialidomide baby leaving him born with underdeveloped arms. Conn's legs were left small and withered due to developmental problems during his mother's pregnancy. The result is a film watched with the same voyeuristic interest that you have watching Tod Browning's Freaks. It's at times so disturbing you can't look away. Their acting is at best wooden (though Sum's work with the staff is pretty cool), but give them credit for trying.Bad acting, worse dialog, but I can't understand why this one hasn't developed the cult following it deserves. Not an outstanding film, even by the low standards of the genre, but it should be seen by aficionados of the grotesque and martial arts both at least once.

If you can put aside story sophistication, story line continuity, and class, you will utterly love this movie. It is a bizarre story of two crippled people working together to beat their evil master. Once these former enemies pair up with some help along the way, they go head to head with their former master in an unforgettable fight scene in the end. The Kung Fu was OK, but the ingenuity makes it worth it. It's mindless fun and the kind of movie that everyone with a sense of humor will love. Enjoyment factor: 10 Sophistication factor: 0

The exact second I heard the title to this movie during the trailer I knew it would be a must see. An hour of calling various Blockbuster and Hollywood Video stores began, being shot down at every turn by either one of the following responses: "Never heard of it", "Is this a Prank Call" and the great Hang Up response. This reaction began a long search for this movie, where I had to special order it. When it finally came in there was a sense of triumph which probably added to my high accolades for this movie. If you watch this movie straight through, it may be a waste of your time, but if you do as I did, watch the first few minutes, get the general idea of the plot, then fast forward to the crippled fights, then your in good shape!The movie might be horrible, the voice overs might be poor, the film quality might be pure Sh*t. But you cannot deny the fact that it's still a guy with unusable legs, and a guy with a thumb for an arm, kicking some butt! The training scenes are great, the fight scenes are great, and the final showdown is a classic; where our "horizontally challenged" hero cannot get a leg up (pun intended) on the villain, and must resort to the "death blossom" tactic......If you don't know what i'm referring to you haven't seen the movie, just watch for him spin across the ground and listen to the soundtrack!It's great stuff, and the skills that these guys have are just plain fun to watch. Sit down, get a bowl of popcorn and plenty of your beverage of choice.A perfect 10 out of 10 on this one.
