Reviews

ckormos1 1977 Stranger from Shaolin or A Fight Between Flying Tigers1977 Hong Kong with Cecilia Wong Hang-Sau, Thompson Kao Kang, Chang Yi- Tao, Tony Liu Jun-Guk, and Wong Kwok-LeungThe IMDb title and actors and crew are for a South Korean movie. The other review beside mine is for the same movie I am reviewing, as above, from Hong Kong.This is an early spin on the origin of the Wing Chun fighting style. It is well done and I highly recommend it and rate it above average. The standard training sequences in this movie are different in that they are realistic and not highly exaggerated. The exaggerated sequences are fun but the real deal is good to see too.

poe-48833 In FIGHT OF THE FLYING TIGERS (STRANGER FROM SHAOLIN), the lovely Yin Wing Chun finds herself fleeing the Manchus. She leaves a number of bodies in her wake, through no fault of her own, before taking refuge in a Shaolin Temple (thanks to a progressive-thinking monk, who allows her in). There, disguised as a male, she begins her training. Says her Sifu: "The best tool of all is one's own two hands." With rudimentary training, she begins to develop her own style of Kung Fu. (In this we can see the roots of Bruce Lee's famous "one-inch punch.") Yin decides to leave the Temple; meanwhile, Kang (whose braided hair is a lethal whip) is ordered to hunt down rebels in the South with the aid of "Kim," a Japanese swordsman. Kang lays down the Law by besting Kim in a duel. "It takes a diamond to cut diamonds," their Master observes. Assassins gather for the coming battle. Kang "drinks children's blood" to get stronger... Check it out.
