Glorious years of my youth . These movies were able to make me forget the hardships I was going through during my formative years . Allowing me to dream and smile and imitate.
I'm going through a similar phase and these movies do the same thing for me

One of my old school kung fu faves of all time.
You really have to admire these guys. True martial artists/stuntmen/physical actors. You watch any film today involving martial arts action. They do 1 to 3 moves at the most and the camera is focused close up, with quick edit shots in between, to hide that its a stuntman/body double rather than the actual actor. These HK guys are doing anywhere from 10 up to 30 movements in a choreographed fight sequence in succession for a single continuous camera shot in a wide landscape view. You can see its them and they can't cheat it. The stamina, cardio, muscle memory as well as acrobatics, is so impressive.
John Bachak Vo for real! I think about how long they had to have practiced that scene to get it right

I concur.Probably one of the best use of intricate fighting styles on film from that era....though there were many!
Yes... today it's all camera shots... Too close or too far. Blink of an eye shots.
@@johnkarpf2638 Exactly!
There are a generation of yooots that have missed this.
Fridays midnight cinema in Upton Park was where we used watch these magical films and imitate the moves on the way home.Wonderful times.
It was kung fu theatre on Saturday evening television for me.
The first time I saw this was at the Cine 42 in Times Square 1981. Then on Channel 5 the following year. Go outside and play fight with my friends. Wonderful times. 2018 I went to Upton Park. Miss England way too much.
1 of the most underrated kung fu flicks ever! 🥋 🥷🏼☝🏾❤️🤞🏾
I love these Shaw Brothers classics that have spot on representation of classical martial arts and surprise endings, they just don't make them like they use to.
The "Perfect Peace Pipe" technique was good for a minute, until the "Mantis Style" broke him off a piece!
"You'll never kill all the heroes" has become my personal mantra

It’s a great mantra…!

Golden Harvest and Shaw Kung Fu movies take me back to my teenage years.
I don't know what state you live in but in Chicago on channel 9 used to be the Saturday / Sunday matinee and all the Sholin Temples, WuTang and Bruce Lee movies will come on either Saturday morning or Sundays at 12. I was pretty teen. The days of my youth.....
@@williamedaniels Hey William E. I grew up in Oakland, Ca. There was a local movie theater called The Lux that showed all of the Shaw bros. OG Kung Fu movies.
Damn yo you had good
Classic Hard core fighting
in the 80s it was called kung fu theater and it came on at 10am on sundays. I bought the five deadly venons dvd and executioners from shaolin which are my favorite 2 movies. The crippled avengers is a gd one also. Any movie with any of the venom clan members are classics.
The best fighting skills I've ever seen David Chang display. Should've done so in more of his movies to compliment his fine acting
You can thank director Lau Kar-Leung for pushing Chiang's skills to the limit. David Chiang is not one of the more physically gifted martial artists, but Lau really brought out the best in the actor during this filming.
@@generatorx 😃 " INDEED!.... The great Lau Kar-Leung was not only a great actor but legendary fight choreographer as well. "
@@generatorx exactly this was his best work. Shaolin Abbot was good but I wasn't impressed with the end fight
@@thaiboxing67 I was gonna day Shaolin Abbot. The end fight is with Priest Pai Mei, which although is a goated villain, his fights are supposed to display an old man who is unfazed, which is not always as exciting as say watching the Ghostfaced Killer
David Chiang acted so well in this film
😄 " 🧡, THE GREAT, DAVID CHIANG! "
One of the best get 'em back and final revenge endings we never saw in a movie ever.
This is David Chiang's best film ; the fight choreographers did an excellent job in making him look like a real Mantis fist expert .
David Chiang is really a Kung Fu Mantis practitioner.
Shaw productions make the best Kung Fu movies in the World, like this one. Hollywood can't touch them when making an Martial Arts Kung Fu movie.
I agree with you 100%!!! 👍🙌🏼
So true!
quentin taratina actuallt stole ideas from the shaw bros
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT BRUCE LEE CAME TO SIR RUN RUN SHAW'S COMPANY SHAW BROTHERS 1ST TO MAKE MOVIES BUT HE WANTED TO TREAT BRUCE LIKE 1 OF HIS OTHER 100'S OF ACTORS. I READ THAT SIR RUN RUN SHAW SAID THAT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE. THEN HE WENT TO RAYMOND CHOW & THE REST IS HISTORY. THAT'S NOT TO SAY SIR RUN RUN DIDN'T TRY TO GET BRUCE AFTER HE SAW A DEMONSTRATION OF BRUCE'S SKILL ON A COMMERCIAL, & RAYMOND CHOW WAS NERVOUS IF BRUCE WAS GIVEN A BETTER OFFER FROM SIR RUN RUN BUT BRUCE REASSURED RAYMOND CHOW THAT WHEN HE MADE HIS MIND UP HE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE BACK ON HIS WORD.
Why is that you can look at a Kung Fu 🤸🤼movie over and over again....way more than a regular movie 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾🤘🏾🤟🏾💯😁
IT'S BECAUSE OF THE FIGHT SCENE'S UNLIKE DRAMA'S AND LOVE STORY MOVIE 'S ONCE YOU LEARN THE PLOT IT'S OVER KUNG FU IS BETTER INVESTMENT OF MONEY WHEN YOU BUY KUNG FU MOVIES YOU CAN WATCH THEM OVER AND OVER BECAUSE OF SO MANY DIFFERENT MOVES AND TECHNIQUES MADE GOOD QUESTION
That's cause they have a good storyline and entertainment
@@andrewrivas702 lol
Great action but the storyline mostly are dumb. Like fighting over herbs n spices.
Because they are awesomely written and the martial artist are or were REAL stylists and fighters who spent 12 hours or better choreographing some high powered 5 minute fight scenes. This scene with Lau Kar Chen and David Chiang is breathtaking.
I love how all those dudes around just watch silently as if this is everyday business as usual.
That is because they're got paid as part time job .
This happens every day at my house.
When you're rich enough to have live humans as room decorations.
Unfortunately, as they're soldiers, it is; that's the sad part in REALity.
If they move it's difficult to edit these old school movies. Watch some where the extras move and you will see what I mean.
I am hong kong chinese!!!!!!!! My grandpa and my dad like kung fu movie!!!!!!!!! My grandma and my mom like cantonese opera!!!!!!! My mom like David Chiang because his kung fu is good and he was also handsome when he was young!!!!!!!
I'm surprised how long most of the shots went. With the more fast paced editing of today's films, I've come to appreciate the long yet well constructed shots. Amazing
today its all CGI garbage... sad... real film making is no more.
larnizzo91 o
you said it yourself, editing to make it faster, in game of death with bruce lee they had to slow it down because he was too fast
ii
This is great Kung Fu
"you'll never kill all the heroes" good words to die with.
While killing off his own heroic son. 😂
@@tnbn55 his son killed all the heroes lol
Yeah, I thought the ending really worked because the son was never a good guy to begin with.
Think about it. You’re set up to think he’s a belabored Everyman with conflicting loyalties, but then in the middle of the end fight he just openly says he only came back for the evidence. He never cared about his wife in the first place, he was there to do the job, nothing more.
He took his sweet time while his family suffered. He never sought human or moral guidance, like Lau Kar Leung’s other main characters. He trusted an insect before he would go to a human for help.
A cold and remorseless killer who clings on to whatever he needs, and then lets go when he’s done with it. Weapons, women, family.
The man is a Killer Mantis. He had it coming.
I love how he sees a bug in the woods, copies its movements for a little while, then is just able to beat anyone no matter how good they are.
he was already very skillful
You do know that the giant mantis is a killing machine. They go for the head first, eating pray that are much bigger than they are, heck they even eat snakes and Not baby ones!
Didn’t Caine use praying mantis in king fu series? Or was he the snake?
Shaolin Praying Mantis is almost invincible
Gotta be one of the best fight scenes ever!!!
David Chiang, a legend!! love most if not all of his movies...right along with Ti Lung
The Savage Five, Duel of the Iron Fist, 5 Shaolin masters....and my favorite all time, Seven Blows of the Dragon!!
That mantis is really a bad ass insect!
U can look Mantis First again at The Warriors Two (Sammo Hung, Cassanova Wong) 👍🏻👍🏻
Old man Lau Kar Wing you are a legend .Love to see you fight.
I know I’m responding a year-plus later lol but I totally agree. Lau Kar Wing should be spoken of just as highly as his brother, the late, legendary Lau Kar Leung.
Remember this from Kung Fu Theater every Saturday on the USA channel… That’s some back in the day kinda sh*t…
Awesome twist ending. I saw this movie 40+ years ago.
Same here! Right on 42nd street and Times Square!
Saw this back in the day in NYC Chinatown where my school was. This was a classic. Helped me learn to speak Chinese sitting in those theaters all day long lol. When I was teaching Gong Fu. 7 Star Praying Mantis is a very good style. .. Long live the Shaw brother Classics.
Northern 7 Star ...is the Best Praying Mantis. When they throw a guy on the floor...he spins.
I lived in NJ and visited "China Town NY" every day. Good memories.
Did you see it in the same theater I did, the Music Palace, on the Bowery and Hester St?
@@CathalBui Chinatown was so amazing back then. Music Palace, Chinatown Cinema, The Rosemary, The Sun Sing, The Pagoda. I miss it so much.
Man I miss these glory days of Kung Fu Theatre Movies. I remember this movie. It is the movie that made me learn Shaolin Mantis Style.
This is one of David Chiangs best, a superb tale and pretty good fighting
David Chiang is a true talented fighter of the mantis which of course he was added to the video game of Shaolin vs. Wutang!👍🏿⛩☯️🙏🏿
Both of them are true Kung Fu Masters in real life. David Chang and I forgot the other guy's name. Authentic Kung Fu in this scene.
David Chiang's opponent is Lau War-Wing (Liu Chia-Yung in Mandarin).
Dam mantis style that was his best pipe AND jacket!
Tore up his best silk outfit before disemboweling my dude. 😅
Shaw Brothers always had the best sound effects for real!
wow, i didn't know there is a Remastered version of this film, the version I watch is the pure original. This looks lit.
Wow, one take was super long unlike today‘s fight scene, all moving cameras.
the director was awesome at freestyling fight scenes they were complex fast and creative..helps he is a martial artist himself
Sheng Long is back!!! v
Great. Martial. Artists. So. Fluid. Hard. Work. Pays. Off. Consistentsy
@@markroach4383 totally does. Master at his craft
You have offended my family and you've offended the Shaolin temple! Classic!
When I Was a kid, I was not a fan of this movie because I was use to the clean cut good versus evil and Good is the victor endings. Movies such as the Chang Cheh Venom Clan flicks to anything staring Gordon Liu. But as I got older and my taste expanded into the morbid. I do love this flick especially the Mantis Style. I always thought that David Chiang is such a chump in this movie. I always wanted Gordon Liu as the lead in this movie and also I refer the original Chinese language as the dubbed version had some cheesy dialogue.
Overall the late Lau Kar Leung choreography made this movie a personal inspiration!
Real Chinese kung fu they don't make them like this anymore and that's so unfortunate.
It's just a movie
@@hotpopcorncake spoken like a new kungfu fan all that IG wire flying, it bad action all around # Lazy fighting
They’ve been using wires in Kung fu movies for years. It’s not anything new. What are you talking about?
@@alleycat4469 What I was talking about Bruce Lee said in an interview he would change the way Chinese kung Fu movie made. He was referring to the use and fakery of using wires in stunts in those movies. He use real skill of martial art techniques with real skill. This made kung Fu movie studios find actual martial artist to compete with example Bruce Lee set in movies. No wires are not nothing new. Using actual skilled martial artists is in kung Fu movies. Now do you understand what I am talking about?
These movies take me back to 42nd st and Saturdays watching Kung fu movies
In a better world, all fights would be this beautiful.
With the same sound effects.
Well THAT was a fantastic ending.
Among the best fighting scenes for it's era.
Note the camera movements here, it's quite impressive
Yes, the camera pans in certain directions during certain strikes to create a sense of power. It's not completely still like in some kung fu movies (which can make a fight feel sterile and weak), but it's not shakeycam either. Perfect.
David Chiang was actually the villain in this movie serving the evil Quin dynasty against the Ming resistors.
Amazing sound effects
great stuff keep them coming
Loved this movie when I was a kid because I went to a rich private school and thoroughly studied MANY different histories. Watching this movie with friends as a kid, it was funny how they thought David's character was doing something good the while movie....then their reactions when the father poisoned him, was priceless.
Possibly David Chiang's best fight scene. Always a great actor, but some of his early movies were weak in the action dept.
6:25 Fucking Savage. Ripped the man's guts out. Good fucking shot composition too. Shows with out showing, the shadow makes it even more dramatic that it would have been had they pulled out fake guts directly on camera. It makes it seem as if you have to look away from it because its that upsetting.
honestly shit like this is why I think people sleep on classic kungfu cinima and have for a long time. It's got the same kind of passion and excitement that good indie films have. They had a good time making this, they thought it would be a good product, and while they might not have always had the budget or skill that the big studios in hollywood have, it's an amazing experience regardless.
I miss old School Kung Fu movies
Ditto I wish they completed the streets fighter movie since it had very good start. But the story fell apart then the sister of the streets fighter didn't add up..
I miss the black and white Tarzan movies. And Mexican wrestling movies, kungfu movies.. Italian western movies Manly AF.
Got this in my collection. Love it dubbed or with subtitles. Pure action gold
Back in the 1970s Shaw bros and golden harvest made the best Kung Fu movies

All these movies just end, no final scene, no resolution, just "the End" but I've never seen one end in the middle of an actual fight before.
The fight sound effects are just epic!!
I love Shaw Brothers movies. They usually have great storylines and fight scenes.I remember the main character from “Five Shaolin Masters Of Death”. Great movie.
I think the best kung fu movie of all time, great direction and sound and editing and STORY. Have you guys seen the whole movie?
Haven't heard of this one yet
Back when there was no internet..
Man, I grew up watching these classics in a Chinese theater across from Disney Land. Those were the good ole days.
Yep! Loved going to the old theaters that lined Times Square in NYC back in the day!
Anyone else notice the change of mouth pieces in the beginning? I love little things like that
Wonderful Classic
One of the best fights ever..this is on another level
Classic fights scene !! Granddad wasnt no slouch... Whole family was skilled
David's best work imo. The story is very tragic too. He's supposed to be the protagonist but he's actually the villain (although reluctantly). Liu Chia-Liang really screwed with you in this one...who're supposed to be loyal to? LOL
amazing movie just watched completely love the ending
At his last breath I was waiting for Lau Ka Leung to tell David Chiang "good kung fu" with thumb up sign lolsss
Kung fu classic a must have i love this movie fight scenes are awesome training superb the ending sucked lol but none the less this is a kung fu lover must have i give it a perfect 10 shaw brothers for life

Simply Amazing!! Epic!! The Best of the best!!!
Old school kung fu.. love it
How many thousands of takes and years of practice to choreograph these fight scenes? Insane!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
What's abundantly clear is that there is a chronology to the animal style: snake & mantis are apparently the oldest, and perhaps the least useful. Dragon was somewhere in the middle & clearly influenced Shorin Ryu katate. Crane & tiger were relatively modern, forming their own style: Hung Gar.
This steals my heart ❤❤
The guy that does the voice for the emperor in the end, he has a very distinct voice and I hear him in almost all of the old school kung fu flicks... Also the guy doing the voice for the main character... he always plays the hero's
David Chiang!!! ❤️❤️❤️
See
@Alexander Richards He is!!! ^-^
Those peacock feathers in his hat are fresh 🦚
There is a huge amount of memorisation in these sequences here = very hard work. That is why you dont see this in holywood movies nowdays. There is no way a fight scene these days would be 9 minutes.
Yeah not unless its a Steven Seagal video where Stevens enemies are always short and light weights..His style makes you amaze because whenever he throws a kick or toss his opponents these poor fellows look like as if they are only coconuts ha ha ha and the best part is you dont see Seagal do a flying kick that will really put the guy he will kick in the wheelchair for a long time...Seagal...Van Dame..and Snipes are the alter ego of these famous chinese martial artist and stuntmen....
If the UFC fought like this, I could probably even compete and stand a chance.
Great classic flick i loved the story that has to do with tradition honour and love and the fight scenes are really good as well.
These movies are still AMAZiNG
Man in red vest after 10 minutes of indecisive fighting: I know something you don't know.
Man in black: And what is that?
Red: I am not left-handed.
...
Black: There is something I ought to tell you.
Red: Tell me.
Black: I'm not left-handed either.
Nothing like a good Shaw brothers movie 😁
Clássico... garras de louvadeus..
David Chiang adoro, ótimo ator
Muito bom filme
Beautiful choreography.
😀 " GREAT CLASSIC!.... But the end sequence always irritates Me. The imperial warrior's father condemns Him, despite his son being ' kept in the dark ' about their family's rebellion alliance. "
I love these Kung Fu flicks
Shaw brothers Kung Fu movies at their very best
David Chiang had a lot of skills here. More so than 7 Blows of the Dragon. He was pretty laughable in that film.
GOOD OLE DAYS. ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES.
I like watching this wonderful vintage Kung Fu 🤸 movie,I had watched it several times 🤸
Didn't know English was widely spoken in China back then.
Apparently they was quite proficient😅
When I was a kid I thought fighting was like this. Until UFC came along.
I need this in my collection thank god i started collecting back in 2018 got a good collection too. I never picked this up. Wish I did
88 Films just announced a blu-ray release
love David Chang
Reminds me of my school fancy dress competition. Dress like an animal, bird to behave like one 😂😂😂... The clip where the guy is immitating a mantis...
Had the father shared his views with his son then the ending would have been different . and sadly the entire family was most likely executed for treason because of the fathers betrayal .
😃 (lol) " YEAH!.... It seems that Imperial Chinese rebels had trust issues too. "
John Doner ष
yes the ending is bad
For anyone that's interested, this movie is available on Amazon prime in pristine HD
Me and my grandfather use to watch these movies all the time in my youth granddad is gone now I'm the last one standing
Who remembers Samurai Sunday? 🥋
The best David Chang ever looked....
Excellent Movie !
