महा शक्तिशाली

Also released on video as LORD OF WU-TANG, this surreal kung-fu fantasy best suits fans of "new school" kung-fu. It combines dazzling cinematography, insane acrobatics along with nonstop action and an overall surreal almost science-fiction feel to it. Its as if Terry Gilliam attempted a kung-fu flick. Ignore the user comments on the main page: if you simply want Jet Li and his fighting style, pick up THE ENFORCER. But if you desire something a little more over the top, that utilizes creativity and imagination over fighting styles, then pick it up. It really takes "new school" kung-fu to another level. And if you enjoy this rare sub-genre, also check out THE EAST IS RED, TWIN WARRIORS, BLACK MASK, and THE NEW LEGEND OF SHAOLIN.

This is by far the craziest, wackiest Kung-Fu movie I've ever seen. The plot flies by at the beginning with a short narrative and then you see people going crazy on a great race to the "golden Sowrd" or whatever it is to be the supreme martial artist. This movie is perfect for those with attention deficit disorder, it moves at a super quick pace, with crazy fighting. When Jet Li acquires the "Solar Stance" things get really weird...with Jet Li flying over armies of monks shooting fireballs and flipping around. If you want a good story watch CTHD or Hero, but if you want crazy martial artists flipping around shooting fireballs and lighting bolts while yelling "Special Magical Stance!" pick this one up! Best viewed while consuming alcoholic beverages. 10/10

Some of the comments I see disgust me. If you think this movie is horrible, you need to actually see some really bad movies before you waste everyone's time writing crap. If you see this, get the "Kung Fu Cult/Colt Master" version, not the "Lord of the Wu Tang" version. This is a pretty light-hearted movie. Good action, lots of wire work, and some funny characters and subtitles. It has a lot of characters, so it's tough to keep straight who is who. But the movie's good enough to watch at least a few times, so it gets better with each viewing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes the newer style martial arts movies and has an imagination.

Even an avid Jet Li fan wonders why this movie was bad. First, I don't know of anyone who actually understood the plot. Second, if you are looking for Jet Li's martial arts beauty, skip this one. Fight scenes are fun to watch, but you won't find out how spectacular Jet Li can fight because the fight choreographers over-used wires. Overall, a pretty bad Jet Li film in my opinion.

Excellent martial arts/fantasy film, with crazy action, lots of likable characters, endearing humor, and a complicated but involving plot. Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Man Cheung, Chingmy Yau and Richard Ng head an all-star cast. I suppose that the anger expressed by some reviewers is understandable, if one's main interest in watching these films is actual martial arts technique -- without the aid of wires. But my love of these films is based on their fantasy elements. I also enjoy the sense of camaraderie, where kung-fu masters will risk their lives, for virtual strangers. Add in many bizarre characters, unexplained mystical powers, and gorgeous women -- and you have a very entertaining film. And Sammo is always tremendous fun. As mentioned by several reviewers, this film was planned as the first of a two-film series. And it is true that due to a disappointing box-office performance, part two was never filmed. But does this mean that you cannot see how it all ends? Not necessarily! Kung Fu Cult Master was a pretty faithful remake of the 1978 Shaw Brothers classic, Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre – which was also broken down into a two-part series. (Actually, there was also a part three, but it is only loosely related to the first two films.) If you want to learn what happens to the characters in Kung Fu Cult Master – and there are some real twists and surprises -- just locate a copy of Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre 2 (also, 1978).
