[WATCH]: Invincible Shaolin | FROM: www.martialartsbelmont.com Jun 5th 2012, 15:44 christian Post in www.martialartsbelmont.com,Tags: Chang Cheh, Chiang Sheng, Entertainment, Kuo Chui, Lo Meng, Lu Feng, shaolin, Shaw Brothers, Sun Chien, Unbeatable Dragon, Venom Mob, Venoms 05 June 2012 Here's my second kung fu movie upload, the Chang Cheh directed "Venom Mob" classic, "Invincible Shaolin", released here to the US as "The Unbeatable Dragon." This is my personal favorite of all of the "Venoms" films, due to the amount and quality of the fight choreography, as well as the Shaw's penchant for outstanding period costumes and sets. The plot has more holes in it than Swiss cheese, but who cares? You get the whole "heroic brotherhood" thing going on, along with the exceptional kung fu, acrobatics courtesy of Chiang Sheng and Kuo Chui, and Sun Chien's tae kwon do kicks. (As a side note, Kuo Chui would go on to choreograph both "The Brotherhood of The Wolf" and that James Bond flick with Michelle Yeoh, who's title escapes me at the moment.) Like the previously uploaded "Bruce Lee The Man The Myth", I first saw "Invincible Shaolin" (under that "The Unbeatable Dragon" title) here on the Bay Area's KTVU Channel 2, back in 1982 when I was just a tyke of 12 years old. So there's also a lot of nostalgia involved here in this upload. Hopefully, if you grew up back then too, you'll have some fond childhood memories of these "Black Belt Theater" flicks as well. « Prev:[WATCH]: Kung fu Hustle part 5 [WATCH]: Kung Fu Hustle English Classic Part 10:Next » | |
