Featured review

Initially baffling, but the second go was an improvement

Despite reasonably pitiful special effects, this was still quite an entertaining martial arts movie. Quite a good amount of fighting, acceptable acting and an unremarkable plot, this was an acceptable way to pass the time.

If you like Yuen Biao or Hong Kong martial arts movies, you will probably get enough entertainment out of this without being blown away. The first time I saw this I think I must have been pretty tired as I fell asleep. The second time it seemsd a lot better...!!

I think it deserves a 6 out of 10 which is pretty good going.

Alternate versions
The film's Japanese theatrical release (also seen on VHS and laserdisc) features over 12 minutes of additional and extended scenes missing from the Hong Kong cut, primarily focused on Hiroshi Mikami's Kujaku and Narumi Yasuda's Saeko Kazama. Some of these scenes would even be filmed with sync sound Japanese, unlike the standard-at-the-time "dubbed from start to finish" Cantonese of the HK cut.
