Whether it's known as Heroes Of The East or Shaolin Challenges Ninja, this ranks as a special favorite among even the most avid fans of legendary director Liu Chia-liang. Ric Meyers, author of Great Martial Arts Movies, the premiere, groundbreaking book on the genre, dubbed it the "Kramer VS. Kramer of kung-fu films“ -- only instead of drama, there's action galore as a Chinese groom and Japanese bride create a loving "kung-fu family feud“. Watch, in appreciative awe, as one Nipponese expert after other tests the skills of Gordon Liu Chia-hui in one maginificent bout after another -- with swords, spears, pikes, karate, and even Sai Seui. The result is a dazzling delight featuring the great "Shoji“ Kurata (Fist Of Legend).

Ацэнкі і агляды

An excellent example of this type, broadened by a comparison of Japanese and Chinese martial arts, deepened by a moral philosophic underpinning and lightened by some marital comedy. Well played, well choreographed and well dubbed.

Awesome! So different from the norm in this genre. No one is killed, and the Japanese are not depicted as the enemy but treated respectfully.

Remember this classic still have it on VHS it was called Shaolin vs Ninja.. I recommend this movie
