Arnis: The Sticks of Death (1986)

Johnny masters the ancient art of "Arnis", the skill to use two deadly sticks for fighting.

[2/10 · 13 March 2002]

..And what do he uses it then, umm, beating a training dummy, nailing a fence, and fighting at the Arnis world championship tournament. There's no action at all in this film, it's slow as hell and doesn't make any sense.

If you want to watch a good film, stay away from this one.

(BTW. Finnish title for this movie is: Arnien Tappavat Kädet)

18 Bronze Girls of Shaolin (1983)

Hilariously bad kung-fu flick.

[7/10 · 13 March 2002]

False monk, Ching Kung, trains 18 girls to master the arts of bronze girl kung-fu. At the beginning I was completely lost about what was happening but that didn't spoil the fun. Anyway, one of the bronze girls was missing and everyone was on disguise and looking for her, I didn't get it if they found her or not but then some monk appeared and announced that the secret bronze girl fighting manual was stolen and everyone rushed to find the thief, o brother..

Highly recommended for those who have enough sense of humor for silly kung-fu flicks.

(BTW. the movie was made 1983)
