#FIVE SUPERFIGHTERS 1979 MOVIE#
Five Superfighters is in many respects a stupendous old-school style martial arts movie that as basic as both its formula and structure are, as a film, it is also highly entertaining and watchable. The plot is not much to ponder, but the uttered dialogue maintained my interest, in addition to the good performances. In the style of Drunken kung fu fighting, Five Superfighters never lets up from the first minute to the last. We get to see each fighter perfecting their own style of kung fu during their training scenes and when they get together to take on their adversary, it's great to watch also. The plot sees an old master and his 3 apprentices learn kung fu in various forms in order to prepare for their confrontation with an evil bully, who had previously defeated them and to exact their revenge. The fluidity in which the moves all flow together is so seamless, and also lightning fast. It's non-stop with the fight sequences and of which barely pause for one second.
#FIVE SUPERFIGHTERS 1979 FULL#
This is a fight-filled extravaganza, full of extraordinary kung fu fights on show and moves executed with flair, precision, speed and technical skill. Shaw Brothers movies tend to be in the Mandarin dialect but after finding the Cantonese dub with English subtitles, I knew I had to see this one. I stumbled upon this rare Cantonese Hong Kong offering from the Shaw Brothers: 5 Superfighters is an action flick that harkens back to the days of traditional Chinese martial arts through kung fu films of the 1950s and 1960s in Hong Kong cinema.
