Negative Positive
Title: Spectacular and Unique
Review: "Fists and Guts" is quite simply one of the most dynamic and interesting old-school kung fu movies. There is a good deal of Cantonese comedy and some "gross-out" humor, but I would not consider it a "comedy". The night fight inside the General's home is one of the most fantastic and creative sequences ever filmed. The opponents are fighting over a box, and must fight in total silence. The final fight between Liu and Lo Lieh is incredible and perhaps even tops the final fight in "Master Killer". Don't be dismayed or distracted by bad dubbing; concentrate on the amazing techniques displayed. Fast forward through the leper island sequence, it's pointless, and doesn't even factor in the idea that the opponenents are LEPERS whom one should probably not touch. Ric Meyer's commentary is fantastic and can teach the viewer a lot about kung fu movies in general, the actors and their culture, and other great movies to check out.
