About this movie

Chang Cheh is known for his revolutionary teen angst kung-fu films, his superheroic, grand guignol 'Venoms' series, his sweeping martial art epics, and the likes of this: 'Martial Arts World ' phantasmagoricals featuring demi-dieties of mythical kung-fu. The great international idol Alexander Fu Sheng stars as a wushu warrior who must learn the '18 Palms', the 'Nine Secrets', and be taught by the 'Seven Evils', to take vengeance on the man who killed his father - the Prince of the invading Chin Kingdom. With dazzling costumes, sets, and martial arts to fall back on, the director tests the mettle of future superstars Hui Ying-hung and Kuo Chue, who was to become the star of the 'Venoms' series as well as one of the most respected action choreographers in the world.

Ratings and reviews

The beginning was kinda dry and melo-dramatic. but caught up to action speed kinda fast. The opening story-line was really hard-core. And, it gave a good intro into the main Heroes of the Wu Xia.

English dubbed version is on iTunes for all the brave archers . Haven’t watched them yet. Hope they are good

Really like this movie. Please add English dub to all the kung fu movies!
