A wonderful retelling., 31 October 2004

Based on the book, The Little Dragon Maiden wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it was quite enjoyable! One of Leslie's earlier movies, he was quite perfect to play Yang Guo, the feisty and hissy-fit chucking young hero. It's great to see him with the same brilliant acting abilities even for back then. Yang Guo eventually meets Xiao Long Nu, the Little Dragon Maiden, and becomes her pupil in the martial arts. Be warned, you may get annoyed by the continuing misunderstandings between the characters. Considering how long the original story goes for, they did pretty well on the timing and story editing. The costumes (though still somewhat affected by the eighties fashion) are beautifully done and acting is pretty good for the most of it. A great watch for fans or new-comers of the famous story. I personally love the ending because Yang Guo is actually left with BOTH HANDS!! (Fans would know what I mean.)

Kung Fu Attack of the Mushroom People, 28 November 2007

I love the Shaw Brothers.
Everyone makes a mistake.
This movie is their mistake.
It's almost an "it's so bad it's good" movie but not quite. I wince
every time I think about the guy in the bird suit. Oh yes, a giant bird
suit with a disgusting pot belly and a brain sort of thing sticking out
on top. It is pretty hilarious when the main character stupidly runs
right off the edge of a huge cliff. Literally: ahhhhhhhhhhh... But
30-minutes later he falls off the SAME CLIFF! He must have taken brain
damage on the first fall, but luckily Big Bird catches him the second
time.
The fight choreography is awful. They jump off the right side of the
screen and out of a set, and it cuts to a fight in a wide open field
with no building nearby for miles. The spinning disk weapon is done
terribly with an annoying sound effect.
Cripes, I could go on and on.
Skip this one.
