CRACK SHADOW BOXERS is an example of the kind of work that Shaw Brothers star Ku Feng did when he was moonlighting outside of his better-known studio fare. Here he's playing one of a couple of good guy beggars who travel the villages peddling their cheap medicine and performing kung fu. Soon enough they meet up with a gang of bandits and the story goes from there. While this film does feature a wealth of fight action, much of it is unremarkable, passable at best. There's a predominance of goofy humour of the lame slapstick variety, and even Feng himself indulges in this. A few familiar faces in the cast don't add up to a distinctly underwhelming experience.

This is the funniest, martial arts movie, you will ever see. Please don't hesitate to watch this movie, it is awesome. really!the action is non-stop and the laughs keep coming. great acting, Awesome martial arts action, great storyline. A very watchable movie. Very enjoyable. Follow the adventures of two unlikely heroes as they constantly find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. I would describe this film as an oriental version of Laurel and Hardy. Very entertaining for fans of martial arts films as well as comedy fans, not a movie to be missed. A very unique film I have never seen another film like it. I highly recommend it to anyone.
