The 36th Chamber of Shaolin takes place in a time of oppression and occupation. The peaceful Liu Yu-Te lives a quiet life, but his studies come to an abrupt end when his entire family is murdered by the oppressors’ soldiers. He narrowly escapes the massacre and hides under a false name in the Shaolin Temple atop the mountain. There, he begins a determined study of martial arts and soon discovers that the temple is a...
Lady Dragon 2 has absolutely nothing to do with the first film. There’s no connection between them whatsoever. Apart from that Cynthia Rothrock stars in both of course. But she doesn’t even play the same person. She looks different and she has a different name. So there! Oh, wait. There is something else they have in common – revenge! In this one, Cynthia Rothrock plays a fighter known as the “The Golden Angel”. The film...
Lady Dragon is an action movie from 1992 starring Martial Artist Cynthia Rothrock. She might not be the best actor ever even during her 80-90 films when she was kind of a C action star. She was doing the same character over and over again. There was either a woman caught in the underground fighting scene or a cop infiltrating one. I’m exaggerating of course, but if you boil it down to the essentials, that’s...
The Last Kumite is not a movie that is revolutionary in any way. There are plenty of other movies focusing on secret fighting or fighting tournaments. There are really just two things to look for in this movie. First is if there are any cool fighting sequences and some nice choreography. I was disappointed in that area very early in the movie. I felt like the fighting sequences were very far off and that it...
Iron Monkey is one of those movies that I never saw, but always wanted to see. Finally, I’ve seen it. It was very entertaining! I think we can leave the plot aside really. It’s about this Robin Hood kind of character but in the Far East. I don’t really know if the Iron Monkey is part of Chinese folklore. I wouldn’t be surprised but it doesn’t matter anyway. It’s a classic story about a masked...
Death Machines is one of those movies that only could be made in the 70s. It’s about this crime boss being forced to hire a Lady Dragon Boss to do his dirty work after she has his hitmen killed off one by one. This was a good story back in the day. Or maybe not the story itself, but the Kung Fu Action. It appears she has injected her own hitmen with a serum that...
Bruce Lee Fights Back From the Grave is the worst kind of Brucesploitation there is. They haven’t even bothered to include any scenes with Bruce Lee anywhere in the picture. What you get is lightning hitting Bruce Lees Grave and that’s all…it’s over in like thirty seconds. The rest of the film regards a Kung Fu instructor tracking down a few thugs who he believes have murdered his friend. He has to fight his way...
