Bad Kung-Fu - Duel of the Tough: 56k flee.

edited March 2007 in Social Entropy++
hi. i have lurked forever. i now post. cool.

let's talk about bad kung-fu. nothing is better than a bad kung-fu movie.

vlcsnap-49221.png

duel of the tough is the best b-grade kung-fu movie ever made. ever.

it was directed by Godfrey Ho, largely considered the best of the worst b-grade kung-fu movie director of all time. he has since retired. sadface. if you ever see this dvd, buy it. buy it hard. this movie fucked your mom.

this is huang.

vlcsnap-41913.jpg

huang is a wandering monk-type-person who is given absolutely no character background or development whatsoever. all that can be derived about huang in the movie is that he is essentially a walking fighting machine. huang takes on a mission given to him by an injured buddhist monk to recover some buddhist scrolls that the evil dai-kiang has stolen from a non-specified and supposedly highly revered buddhist temple in canton, china. huang sets out on an adventure chock-full of ass kicking, henchman death, and poorly translated cantonese to faux-english in order to defeat dai-kiang and recover the scriptures.

this is chen:

vlcsnap-52278.jpg

chen is a lady masquerading as a man throughout the lands, presumably to make her traveling easier amidst relatively sexist feudal china, though the movie makes no such allusions and leaves interpretation (also, presumably) up to the viewer. she is apparently looking for revenge on the evil dai-kiang, whom huang is also pursuing. well, since they are both headed in the same direction, huang and chen meet up and decide to travel to dai-kiang's camp together, each for their own reasons. unfortunately for chen, huang knows that she is a lady, and unfortunately for huang, chen is not exactly accepting to his company. hilarity, and badly choreographed kung-fu fight scenes, ensues.

by the way, this is dai-kiang:

vlcsnap-22283.jpg

look how evil he is. he has a throne and everything.

this movie is terrible. i mean it's just fucking terrible in every way that a bad early 80s kung-fu movie needs to be. it's got it all. nut shots:

vlcsnap-38209.jpg

poorly choreographed kung-fu fight scenes involving armies of henchman prancing about in a lord-of-the-dance-like display:

vlcsnap-45156.jpg - it's supposed to be night time in this shot. who would've guessed?

fuckin':

vlcsnap-19750.jpg - you can't tell, but huang and chen are fuckin'.

it even has minibosses and shit:

vlcsnap-5348.jpg

and really, REALLY bad camera work:

vlcsnap-12157.jpg - this is what the shot looks like. it stays in this position for like 2 mins while chen and huang yak it up about revenge.

and super-saiyan-esque powering up, note the steam floating up from huang's head:

vlcsnap-21365.jpg

this is how dai-kiang dies:

vlcsnap-25724.jpg

what the fuck.

in short, if you find this movie in the shit-bin at wal-mart, you are doing yourself a disservice by not picking it up.

    wow, never heard of this movie, I'll definitely look for it.

    But you wanna talk bad kung fu? Seriously, I've brought it up before and I'll probably bring it up again, but you really, really can't beat Crippled Masters.

    Picture this. One dude has no arms. Okay, he's got a little chicken wing-sized stub for one arm, but otherwise, nada.

    The other dude? No legs. Okay, he's got legs, but they are honest-to-god atrophied to the point where they literally look like flaky-as-fuck skin on bone. Nasty fucking shit. Can't support his weight, or even move them at all. So he folds them up underneath him and walks around on his hands.

    For serious. No special effects involved, two straight-up crippled dudes.

    And together, they are unstoppable.

    The dude with no arms is a fucking master of staff fighting. Fucking wings the thing around with his leg and his tiny little chicken wing stump, straight up badass motherfucker. And the dude with no arms, well, he's got crazy crazy upper body strength and will leap out of trees onto his enemy's heads and just pummel the fuck out of them.

    Such a great fucking movie.

    There was this kung fu movie that 3 Ninjas was a remake of

    Called The Young Dragons I think

    3 kids live on a farm with their crazy alcoholic kung-fu master grandfather

    The kids themselves are kung-fu masters, and one day the grandfather falls ill or something and they have to find their kung-fu grandmother in the big city

    Hilarity ensues as they try to order food at McDonalds and get tangled up with the mob

    So in Crippled Masters, the bad guy is a hunchback.

    And he kills a man by crushing him with his hump.

    And he deflects attacks with his hump.

    And when you hit is hump it goes *clang*, like armor.



    Also, one of the Crippled Masters has a mole with a good 3-4 inches of mole hair.

    On his face.

    The best super cheap kung fu movie I've ever bought has been The Guy With Secret Kung Fu. The two for a dollar bin has given me some of the greatest movies ever. Here's the review.

    "The Guy With Secret Kung Fu" is actually two guys, brothers in fact, and their kung fu is no secret, it is in full effect as they fight to stop the oppression and corruption of the Ching Dynasty. Meng Fei ("Prodigal Boxer") is in top form as one half of the rebellious brothers as he fights corrupt judges, evil warlords, and some really big invincible zombie.

    "Guy With Secret Kung Fu" has comedy, horror, and non-stop kung fu action!

    DRUNKEN WU-TANG.

    I'd post a picture of the video box cover, but it's of a couple characters that don't even appear in the film.

    I really can't describe the film properly, not even the BadMovies.org summary does it justice. It's just one of those things you have to see to believe. Unfortunately, it's not available on DVD, and finding copies of it are nigh-impossible.

    The film itself is nearly impossible to figure out on one viewing alone, it's so convulted, and the storyline is absolutely ridiculous, but the fighting scenes are actually quite well done.

    Now, some of my favorite characters.

    dwutang2.jpg

    Rat Face! :D

    The dude runs around in some bizzare little straw vehicle that looks like a rat. And he does drunken kung-fu.

    dwutang3.jpg

    The Watermelon Monster!

    He's got razor-sharp teeth and can suck your energy out of you via your nipples.

    dwutang4.jpg

    Rosanne!

    Honestly, this fat chick is never actually named in the movie, but it's hilarious to see her fighting style.

    dwutang5.jpg

    Granny!

    She's a man, baby.

    Man, this movie is so bad. Jesus decides that he's had enough with preachin', and it's time to take the fight to the enemy.

    Who is the enemy?

    Lesbian vampires.

    I shit you not. Jesus gets a haircut and some piercings, then fights some girls wearing terrible fake fangs and goth outfits.

    At one point, the main character comes into a town populated by really really ultra stupid zombies. Lo and behold theres a pommel horse set up for him, and he proceeds to kick zombie ass by doing some spins on the pommel horse.
