Even if you are a self-proclaimed kung-fu movie ‘expert,’ this fine film is still worth watching. Using a clever bit of animation to tie the clips together, directors Andrew Corvey and Andrew W. Robinson have put together a shameless celebration of the movies they obviously love that’s a perfect introduction to those not familiar with the genre. Recognizing that most kung fu movies follow the same plot – REVENGE!! – they focus on the styles of the different directors, as well the personalities of the various actor/stuntmen who became stars. It’s a very positive portrayal of the film style, which is a big help to anyone who has seen a few kung fu movies and gone off on their own looking for films only to quickly discovering just how many crappy kung fu movies there are in the world. So be sure to make notes as you watch.
