What do you do when you
find two martial arts experts who are missing a few
limbs each? Why, make a movie where they seek
revenge for their mutilations, of course!
There's some excellent and
unusual kung fu on display in this one, together with a
slightly uncomfortable sounding voice-over. The
protagonists seem anything but crippled, leaping about
the place and beating the crap out of various bad men.
I don't understand the
segments with the Yoga expert in the box. Perhaps
he's their spiritual adviser or something? That
doesn't explain why they meet him on a really
plain-looking studio set.
So... Is this film an
uplifting tale of triumph over adversity, or base
exploitation of people who have worked hard to overcome
physical disabilities? I suppose you'll have to
see the full version to find out, but given that it was
made in 1979 it's unlikely to be the former...
Favourite bit: Right
at the end, where the guy with no legs suddenly flies up
in the air and teleports for no discernable reason. |
