"Amazon, you dope! Vol. 4 contains the films listed above, not
three! Big Box of Kung Fu Vol. 3 contains Return of the Chinese
Boxer, The Bloody Fists and Holy Robe of Shaolin Temple! GET IT
RIGHT!
THE RETURN OF CHINESE BOXER
The story is about this Princess who is on a misson to
assassinate some samurai! But she runs into trouble when a
Kunoichi and some other samurai fighters try to intercept her
mission! Along comes the bad ass Jimmy Wang Yu to stop all these
people from killing her! The movie was awsome! Though the story
was non-sensical, it still was great! The movie has some
influences towards Master of the Flying Guillotine but very
little! And Wang Yu dirrected this film too! The picture quality
is good! Though the movie does suffer from degration and
scratches, the colors look good!
BLOODY FISTS
This one is about this Japanese fighter who is going around
beating up Chinese fighters! That's it! This one is a bit
boring! The fights weren't anything special and supposively Yuen
Wo Ping choreographed the fights in this movie but he's not
credited at all! Therefore it could be a lie! But who knows! The
picture quality is descent with the usual white speckles and
stuff but overall it's watchable!
Holy Robe of Shaolin Temple
Another one of those depressing Shaolin movies where the Monks
are treated like poo poo! Only some escape and are on a mission
to protect the red robe from the evil Manchus! This one I liked!
I always love watching Shaolin kung fu demostrations in these
films! The fights were great! The picture is descent though it's
a bit faded!
All these movies are in widescreen! Holy Robe has imbedded
Chinese and English subtitles and is in Chinese! The others are
english dubbed! The DVD's play fine without hiccups or technical
issues!"
