    Who did this transfer? They should be banned from the movie industry for life. It looked like it was transferred from a VHS tape that suffered magnetic damage. Blurry and REALLY bad audio - it hurt my ears to listen to it. But who wants to listen to this anyway? The dubbing by the voice actors was the worst I've EVER heard. As another reviewer said, the editing was so awful it was impossible to follow any plot this piece of garbage might have had. Scenes were cut in the middle of an action or sentence and a fight scene interjected at a seemingly inappropriate time. It was as if the editor said, "well we seem to have lost some important footage here, let's just insert a fight scene. Yeah, it's a kung fu movie, that should work." My 15-year-old son amused himself and the rest of the family by improvising his own dubbing. But after 20 minutes, he got bored and left the room. That is when we all quit watching and decided network television wasn't too bad an option afterall

    Oh man, where do I start? The quality is the absolute worst I've ever seen... even for a Kung Fu flick. Scenes are abruptly cut, it's WAY too blurry, the audio quality is horrible... I couldn't even make out a basic plot because everytime people would talk, the scene would cut to some horrid fight scene. And believe me, the fight scenes are HORRIBLE. This movie is the ultimate Kung Fu laugh-fest, though. If you like to chill and dub your own Kung Fu flicks, GET THIS ONE. If you want to see a good Kung Fu flick, PASS on this one. Don't say you weren't warned...
