Immortal Fist: The Legend of Wing Chun

If I asked my mates to make a film and filmed as we went, you would expect a film like this. Strange to see it on IMDB as it lowers the bar so low you might as well start adding school productions. There is nothing redeemable aside from the main girl is kinda hot in a cam girl type way. There was no Wing Chun just generic Kung Fu that was badly pulled off. The acting is person off the street quality. I've seen better costumes at haloween in my local pub. You get the impression, there is literally no reason to watch this. It's not differnt or edgy it's just unwatchable and a masterclass on how to do everything badly.

It makes me wonder if this film is a school project. but for the purpose of providing an insight, these are my comments: Story Plot - there is a very good story plot but poorly executed. Acting - literally need more lessons in acting but they tried their best so A for effort Effects - Tolerable but can be improved a lot. Martial Arts - Need more training and since they are newbie in acting... A for effort Costume/ Make up - the banshee is great but everything else is awful Sound/ music - tolerable Given the right director, artists and budget, this can be a good movie.

IMMORTAL FIST is one of those cheesy and embarrassing American action indies inspired by Chinese and kung fu cinema. The obvious inspirations here are the likes of CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON and the IP MAN franchise. This is essentially a series of fight scenes filmed in a local park with fighters dressed up in old-fashioned cosplay-style robes and the like. There are some okay moves, but the choreography tries way too hard to be slick and in the end the inappropriate music and limited performances kill it. I found it pretty embarrassing overall.

An indie martial arts film typically found on Amazon Prime. The acting is fairly sub par. The wardrobes are not very pleasing in terms of aesthetics. The film essentially ends up being a bunch of cosplayers having fun doing martial arts scenes in a local park. You can tell they had fun doing it which is why I give it two stars instead of one. Seems school project quality.

I found this little gem on Amazon Prime and judging from the poster on Amazon, I thought it was going to be a bigger budget film. It's actually a low budget indie film that is done quite well considering it's obvious limitations. I watched it without my kids due to no rating, but was pleased to find that it's family friendly, no blood/gore or excessive violence. I'd give it a PG rating. My kids thought it was great, so the creators certainly have a niche. There are a lot of Japan Anime tropes all throughout the film (which I didn't actually get) until I watched it with my kids, and they filled me in. I saw some Jackie Chan references... very original but also an ode to popular Anime's and Martial Arts movies.

There is a lot going on here - found this on Amazon Prime and this is probably one of the most original films I've seen in a long time. It touches on some feminist topics, love that there a lot of lead females, but it's a quirky sci-fi action martial arts movie done on a low budget, which is a seriously bold move. Low budget Indie films in the Sci-Fi genre almost NEVER work, but I have to hand it to this crew, they made what they had work. They were fun and inventive, and told a story about self sacrifice. Viewer advised - it's a bit of a weird film. I gave it a 7 because they pulled off Sci-fi on a low budget. If they had some more time to build out the world, fine tune the plot points I would have given it an even more generous rating. I'm probably being pretty generous giving it a 7, but I loved the originality. It's one of those strange movies that will probably get a lot of attention in 20 years.
