Title: The Legfighters, in Widescreen
Review: This movie, originally named "The Invincible Kung Fu Legs," was renamed and rereleased by Tai Seng as "The Leg Fighters." The Shaolin Cinema release (under review) is in widescreen, while Tai Seng's release--for no good reason--is cropped to 4:3. However, the DVD transfer for the Shaolin Cinema release (from VHS, no doubt) is not as clear as Tai Seng's, plus, (regrettably), the last critical second or two of the film, where the fateful, death-dealing blows are mutually administered to the villian by the hero and heroine, are mercilessly hacked off as well.All-in-all, great leg kung fu, with plenty of action and a storyline about as good as it gets for this genre. See The Leg Fighters for formal reviews of the film content itself. My main purpose is to alert the reader to a cheap, extras-less (not even scene selection!), but refreshing WIDESCREEN alternative to Tai Seng's mindlessly cropped film, The Leg Fighters.
