7 Grand Masters I recommend it its worth the price it brought back memories of my child hood days watching this on VHS. Quality decent i enjoy my copy.
1 love7 Grand Masters
Good film with the good fighting and comedy moments.
Classic kung fu film. Student learns from his master and turns on him. Not the deepest plot,but a good film with some pretty good fighting and some humor. I liked how he developed a brother type relationship with the other characters. I have watched this film a number of times and even let my friends borrow it enjoy it.7 Grand Masters
Must see kung fu
I'd consider myself an educated novice HK film fan so take this in that vein.
This movie was unbelievable! I can't believe I hadn't been turned onto it prior.
Very simple, appealing plot. Choreography and complexity of fights scenes are top notch! A few campy moves/stunts but they make for a fun and exciting flick. This movie will definitely have you hitting the rewind button. Must see, period. Very happy I purchased.
7 Grand Masters
Not all that Grand...
This is NOT a 5 star flick. It's not horrible. But it's far from great. This movie doesn't even make my top 25. I purchased it because I am in the process of getting all my old VHS tapes on DVD. I consider myself an amateur collector and as such this movie should be in the library. But if you're looking for something with a convoluted plot masked as a mystery, I'd go for the Mystery of Chessboxing. Same cast, better flick.
The movie does have great music in it. And it's beautifully shot. But outside of that, I can't see anyone other than a collector being into this one.7 Grand Masters
one of THE all-time classics
This flick encompasses everything you expect when someone mutters, or even bellows "old-school kung fu". Great premise, great fights (again, old-school), great fun. Lots of acrobatics. Animal styles. Man, I love this movie.
Jack Long plays Shang Kuan Cheng, a righteous kung fu champion and hero to the people, who's about to retire when a mysterious note appears to remind him that he can't call himself champion until he has defeated all styles and masters in the province. He agrees and postpones his ceremony until he can challenge the 7 remaining masters. He gathers his daughter and all 3 of his students and sets about his task. When one of his defeated opponents turns up dead, he's suspected. Complicating things further is a persistent young man (Li Yi Min) determined to have Shang become his teacher.
This movie has it all. Stolen manuals, Pai Mei, revenge for the killing of one's father. Revenge for the killing of one's master. Great sound-effects. Pre-fight form displays. Man, just get it already. Did I mention it's beautifully remastered and in widescreen. This is the best remastering job that I've seen from an independent studio. Very few sets, mostly open cinematography. Gorgeous. The nice picture does allow you to see the tape that holds the actors' wigs on, but no biggy. It's also English-dubbed, or if you prefer, subtitled. I could do without some of the silly humor, but it's quite tame compared to its contemporaries. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 4.5
