Wickle - Man is too stupid to listen to his wife and instead forces his son to make a mockery of Tiger Style but still avenge him. I felt like the beginning was kinda nice for creating actual character development, but it kind of failed to produce towards the latter half. The only character that was likeable by the end was the villain, since it didnt really play him out to be one, hes just defending himself from people that keep attacking him just for winning a duel to the death. They dont really play out why he must be beat, rather than just the avenge my master plotline that Why not take every advantage going in to do so? Why die trying when you could improve in many ways?

scarlet - When a movie starts with a gray haired grand master trapping a guys foot with his crotch, you know it's some kind of classic. So incredibly bad that it's good. The sound effects are insane. A few familiar faces, lots of silliness, and some crazy nonsense that makes it worth watching.

Karo - Basically someone kills someone else, and then a third person wants to kill the first someone because of it. Like so many of these movies, the heroes are motivated by petty revenge and are willing to do anything to achieve it, including destroying their own family. In the climactic battle scene, suddenly the movie freezes and the text 'the protagonist eventually killed the bad guy, the end!' appears on the screen. Um, yay?

JONA - While the action can be pretty good and I liked the family moments between the three, it takes way too long to get there. There's some fun goofy stuff, like the fuckfighting, but it's just overall dull.

Snake - This one was a little repetitive and the comedy sort of feels out of place here with really poorly paced scenes.

Johnbobb - Can you find it? Man, theres not a ton to really love here. Alright fights, a goofy villain, a sometimes interesting but overall bland plot centered around revenge against a single person. But when I think about the movie, I dont think about any of that, I think about the heroes desperately grasping at Pai Meis crotch. Over and over again. Like way more times than any one movie needed. And then its just suddenly over? What a weird film.

Inviso - This movie was like Disney does kung-fu. And not good, animated Disney. I mean, shitty, 70s live-action Disney. Its the music that kills the movie for me. Its like someone was playing Bambi in during the filming process and no one bothered to fix the sound in post. Unfortunately for this movie, the music is the only really memorable aspect. The characters are all wooden, the plot feels very generic (lets have two characters fight for dumb reasons because weve gone two minutes without showing some kung-fu), and the tone is wildly inconsistent. Seriously, the movie switches from goofy JONA cant get his new wife to put out scenes to JONA must avenge his master, but Pai Mei will kill him scenes. Plus, the movie cant keep straight its main characters. Like, we spent 75% on JONA, only to switch over to JONAs shitty son, mini-JONA for the last quarter. And then that dipshit dicks around and half-asses his kung-fu to beat the biggest badass in the movie. Thats fucking bullshit.
