If you like Kung Fu flicks this is one for the collection! A very traditional story of a really bad guy and some long overdue revenge. Told in a traditional classic fashion this film is a perfect presentation of what kung fu flicks used to be all about.With some excellent fight scenes displaying some great Wushu and some nice humour thrown in too the story never drags and can be watched over and over. The end fight scene is fantastic, watch out for the tomato ketchup arm removal!!I have now bought this on DVD it has been copied directly from VHS format and is not in wide screen the quality of image and sound is ok but the aspect ratio has cut some of the picture out, that said this DVD is still be worth buying its just a shame they didn't bother to do a better job. The 5 stars are for the film not its dvd presentation.
