Old Skool Kung Fu!!.......2006-07-13
This flick definately reflects Gordon Liu in a positive light since "The Master Killer". I thought his flick was a great old school story,,,very entertaining. This flick was directed by the great Leung Kar Yan, one of his best production,,no question. Definately a must see,,really great movie!!
a MUST HAVE for a fan of kung fu films.......2006-06-06
If you know kung fu films then you must know Gordon Liu, and this is one of my favorite movies of his. Gordon Liu is an awesome martial artist. In this film he demonstrate many martial arts techniques such a drunken boxing and other kung fu styles. In this movie Gordon Liu is forced to marry a Japanese woman who is skilled and proud of her Japenese fighting skills and customs. This couple eventually quarrells over whos style is better. The Japenese wife's masters come from Japan to teach Gordon Liu a lesson. A beautiful display of spear, sword, staff, Judo, karete, ninjitsu, and other fighting styles are displayed. The movie is english dubbed, and the option of clear subtitles is available. The movie is digitally restored so it is fairly clear when compared to other old school kung fu films. Simply, buy this movie if you enjoy good kung fu movies, a must have for all fans!!
master killer's best, and original language version, thank you red sun, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thanky.......2006-04-28
I feel like every review starts out the same for me, but here I go.
If you have not heard of red sun and do not have an all-region dvd player, then red sun is the best company going for classic kung fu. If you look up red sun under the amazon search engine, you will see I have plenty of reviews for this distribitor, that's because I have bought most of these and have managed to find some of the best movies in the history of cinema. And the LETTERBOXED widesceening job is so perfect I would be ahppy if this was the only dvd I had, ever.
First off, you will be sure that this is not a shaw's movie right away by the music. It sounds like authentic japanese, and overall provides an awesome score. It is really nice to get away from that stock music. And with origianl language, this goes both ways. The japanese are well worth hearing their voices, and there are a lot of japanese.
The movie has an odd start, no fancy MA display for the credits. it goes right to the story. Gordon Liu's family have set up a marriage for him long ago. But he doesn't really like this. So his friend(who you will certainly recogzine if you have seen any fu) comes in and tells him that the japanese girl has arrived. He goes on to describe her top and her bottom. Gordon gets all excited and runs out to meet her. But she comes in and lives in gordon's family's house and has absolutely no respect. Now gordon doesn't handle this the best way and since he is obviouusly better at the MA's, he beats her at everything. So this leads her to keep on breaking things and starting fights with him, to the point that she just completely leaves and goes home to japan. But when gordon sends a letter saying how far superior chinese is to japanese martial arts, her masters get pretty mad.
So all the japanese masters come over to challenge gordon. He sees his wife and rejoices but then sees like 8 dudes and one of them is like a giant. Now the second half of this thing begins. I still can't decide if I like the first or second half better. It is truly one of the best in the genre first half, but then the second half rivals any fu movie ever and manages to top most of them. The woman playing gordon's wife plays it perfectly. The first battle is superb, japanese against chinese sword, and more importantly, 2 techniques against eachother. The second the director comes up with an excuse to show that he is also a true drunken master, not just the yuen's and jackie. He plays the same drunk as most, and gordon has to learn his technique. This happens in too short amount of time, but works for the movie. And norman chu as another one of gordon's friend is great. No martial arts from him though. The weapons scenes are wonderful as they always match up chi and jap weapons. There is a spear scene, a 3 section staff against a 2 section and a sword, sai's against knives, and a match against a monster of a man, which I still think gordon cheated no matter what way they explain it. And the final one is prbably the best, true ninja scene(movie wise at least). So simon yuen has a good appearence hear as gordon's teacher and he keeps figuring out ways to beat all the japanese master that have come to challenge him.
But the main drawing point this movie is the real japanese actors. I am sure they are not real actors, but they worked just fine. The guy with the sai's may have no been japanese. And the master of all these master doesn's appear japanese but he doesn't fight, so that's cool. And Kuratu gets the well deserving lead role among them.
SO THIS RED SUN VERSION HAS 2 LANGUAGE TRACKS!!!!!! LETTERBOXED, CRYSTAL CLEAR PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!! AND 5.1 BOOMING SOUND.
Now, what more could you ask for.

Not-Bad Bruce Le Movie.......2005-07-14
Bruce Le, the notorious Bruce Lee imitator, made very few movies that were watchable, let alone good. This one, "Ninja Over the Great Wall" (the box calls it "Shaolin Fist of Fury") is one of his best. It's yet another movie in which Le has to fight the occupying Japanese Samurai in China pre-WWII, and there are times when it drags. However, it has some very memorable scenes (like the first ten minutes) and some above-average fighting, particularly in the Great Wall of China climax. It also boasts far higher production values than any other Bruce Le movie. All-in-all, if you only watch one Bruce Le movie in your life, you could do way, way worse than this.
The DVD from Ground Zero's Wu-Tang Clan line has the movie cropped to 1.33:1 (it was probably shot 2.35:1). The image isn't as bad as many budget releases, though - the colours are good and there aren't many scratches. The audio is dubbed, which will either delight or anger you depending on how you feel about dubbing. There are a couple of pretty-good extras, too, including some bonus fight scenes (from other Ground Zero releases) and some martial arts info.

Not bad at all.......2005-04-22
Ok remember this review is written on the old school kung fu movie scale.
Basically there's a cart driver who steals money from bandits to buy his girlfriend out of prostitution. A pretty unique plot for this genre.
The fighting in this movie is great, and Angela Mao, as always, is a joy to watch. Lo Lieh is the quintessential kungfu villain.
Worth checking out if you're a fan of this genre.

Shaolin challenge.......2007-01-04
i watched the movie - it was what i remembered - interracial marriage - Japanese woman to Chinese man, marital strife, battle of the fighters -
it was dubbed english, but an actual translation was also displaying along the bottom of the screen - which was neat - Asian languages seldom can be translated into the same video space of Western languages
writing/story was weak, but was expected - it came from era of Asian fighting movies like the westerns of america -
some of the translations were strange - something keeps getting translated as a 'flying guillotine', but it seems to be different things in different movies -
i do not even think it was originally called 'Shaolin vs Ninja' - 'Heroes of the West' displayed at the beginning - at least that was what the translation displayed - credits looked unusual as if asian movies do not display director, producer and all like the west -
there is a perfect version of this movie out, I'll explain.......2006-05-08
If you have not heard of red sun and do not have an all-region dvd player, then red sun is the best company going for classic kung fu.

Shaolin Challenges Ninja - Great Action!.......2005-09-26
Hey, now this is the Gordon Liu I'm talking about!
This is a great kung fu flick. Gordon has to lay down the law to his wife when she tries (in so many ways) to convince him that the Japanese style is better than the Chinese style in fighting. After Gordon made her look like a fool, she leaves and goes back to Japan until she feels she can become a match for him. Gordon then sends a letter challenging her to face him (a ploy to get her to come home), but it was intercepted by one of the greatest fighters in Japan (his wife's childhood friend). The letter was later showed to other top fighters of Japan who viewed it as a personal threat/challenge. They later challenge Gordon to a duel to settle the matter of which style is the best. Now the fight is on. Gordon must now defend his honor by fighting each one of these Japenese fighters.
The fighting scenes were great and you will see the moves that Gordon is famous for. Man, he is no joke! This is a must see for all old-school kung fu fans. Surely one of my top 5%.
Great Fun! Get This One!.......2003-02-22
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite Gordon Liu films, as well as one of my favorite kung fu films of all time. Like another reviewer, I have watched his movie several times without tiring of it in the least.
The beginning is full of the comedy of differences and humorous rivalry between a young Chinese man (Liu), who is proficient in Chinese boxing, and his new Japanese bride, who is proficient in Japanese fighting; along with the misdeeds of a meddlesome servant who manages to incite even more difficulty between the spouses.
The rivalry turns into a formal challenge, as a cadre of Japanese fighters: experts in--among other things--Bushido, Karate, Ju-Jitsu and Ninjitsu, visit the character portrayed by Liu, to defend the wounded pride of his wife, which translates to their own pride in the (alledged superiority of) Japanese martial arts.
Liu then faces off against each of seven Japanese fighters in a series of very entertaining matches. Liu carefully chooses the appropriate Chinese weaponry and/or fighting style prior to meeting each of the challenges (the ju-jitsu match has its own surprises, though!), then engages. Good, clean (and informative) fun! No blind revenge, no death matches or victims coughing up blood, just a wholly enjoyable look at two competing styles within the context of 7 challenges, each of which affording the contestants new insight, appreciation and respect for each other: the elegant, diverse repertoire of Chinese martial arts styles pitted against the powerful, efficient styles of the Japanese.
And in the meantime, the marriage relations get better!
Top-shelf, top-of-the-list entertainment for every devotee of "old-school" kung fu films.
Story? Maybe not too good of one. Fighting? The best.......2003-01-18
Gordon Liu. Martials arts champion of China (in the Number One Under the Heavens Tournament). He came a little bit after Bruce Lee.
Shaolin Challenges Ninja delivers what most people wanna see. Lots of fights, exotic weapons, and different fighting styles. A chinese man (Liu) gets married to Japanese woman. The woman knows Japanese Martial arts, but Liu claims that her style is too rough for a woman especially. They fight, Liu winning constantly. His wife returns to Japan, Liu inadvertantly sent a challenge to his wife's teacher. The Japanese accept and Liu must face 7 (i think) Japanese men and 7 major different fighting styles. Some of the fights close to the end are a bit strange. Most likely, the director ran out of ideas. The very end fight is excellent though. The end is okay, but could have been better.
Great for watching exotic weapons. extremely bad sound quality, i could not realy understand what was being said. only english dubbed, bad video quality. The use of the weapons is really what redeems this movie

Shaolin vs. Lama.......2007-08-28
This movie Shaolin vs. Lama has a variety of action in it, but the Villan had the advantage with the Army that he has with him. So, the main actor has a hard time to defeat the Villan. I gave the movie 5 stars, because of the action seens of Kung Fu been displayed in the movie.
Prepare to have your mind blown...........2007-06-24
Let's be honest with each other for a moment. Sometimes everyone needs to see a movie that appeals to them on every level no matter how much sense it may make. That is exactly what this movie is to a kung fu movie fan. The story is kinda out there and involves a young monk who happens to cross a young kung fu fighter trying to find someone who can beat him, and ends up being an enthralling slug fest featuring many different styles of kung fu. This movie although amazingly awesome is also pretty corny and as such has many memorable one liners, some of which you may be familiar with if you are a fan of the wu tang clan. Thats all i'm gonna say. If you are a kung fu fan you habve not excuse not to watch this movie.
Funny as hell.......2007-03-18
This movie is just funny. Memories of kung fu theatre on saturdays at noon rushed through my head as I watched this goofy romp. Ridiculous dubbing, an awful story line and some great martial arts action a la the old days of the genre. The choreography reminded me of a capoeira match where the fighters are just barely missing each other on purpose. I wish I could've seen it in the original cantonese or mandarin with subtitles as the films are always better. Worth watching if you love kung fu flicks.
nicely done.......2006-10-09
this movie is very good. a must for collectors. you won't be disapointed
Old "Skool" Kung Fu!1.......2006-07-02
It would be a gross dis-service to give out details on this flick,,,,almost everyone who review this movie gave it 5 stars,,,therefore, that should suffice for anyone to make a decission to check out this awesome, amazing kicker!!
Three words for this flick TOUGH, TOUGH, TOUGH. This flick is easily among my top 5 best ever kung fu movie of all times,,,I must have watched this flick over 10 times, and each times feel like the first,,it just an amazing flick!!

Vs. or Against - Big Difference.......2007-02-13
This is Shaolin Against Lama. It's not Shaolin Vs. Lama. It's not just a case of two different translations of the same title. They are separate movies. Both were made around 1983/84, and both star Alexander Lo Rei and William Yen. To add to the confusion, for some reason the cover of the Ground Zero/Black Belt Theater edition of SAL shows a picture of Lo Rei's character from SVL. The tell-tale difference between the two movies is that SAL does not star Chang Shan, whose battles with Lo Rei in SVL help make that movie a classic of the kung fu genre. Instead, Shaolin Against Lama is an above average kung fu movie with good fight scenes and a convoluted storyline.
DVD has terrible picture and sound quality.......2006-07-15
This DVD produced by a company called Ground-Zero (with "Black Belt Theatre" marking on the front cover) seems to have been made from a worn-out VHS tape. The picture was terribly grainy and the sound volume varies frequently. The voice dubbing was hilariously bad. The plot involves a villian named Chia-Siu (roast pork?) who tries to kill a Tibetan prince and ignite a war between the prince's faction and the Shaolin temple. The movie largely consists of fight after fight, tied together by a thin plot. The fighting was good, but not the best I've seen. Pay close attention to the scene where the prince visits a temple during a funeral ceremony, and you will see a couple of black-and-white PHOTOGRAPHS of the deceased people displayed prominently on the altar - perhaps there were time travelers involved in the plot but I didn't catch it.
Old "Skool Kun Fu!!.......2006-07-02
I expected big things from this flick,,,but i felt it fell really short. Nontheless this i though it was entertaining. The drunken fights were amazing, and the old school kung fu really plentyful and consistant thoughout the flick!!
Shaolin Temple Against Lama.......2001-12-07
THERE ARE FEW MARTIAL ARTS MOVIES THAT ARE OUT THERE WITH NON STOP ACTION. THIS IS ONE OF THEM. FROM THE OPENING CREDITS ALEXANDER LO REI IS ATTACKED BY A PAID ASSASSIN AND FROM THERE ON ITS JUST ACTION. ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATED MARTIAL ARTS FILM OUT THERE. IF YOU BUY YOU WILL ENJOY.
RICHARD /GOLDEN EYE VIDEO CLUB.......2000-08-18
I MUST SAY THERE COULD NEVER BE A BETTER MARTIAL ART MOVIE THAN SHAOLIN TEMPLE AGAINST LAMA. THE FIGHT SCENE IS SO POWERFUL IT WILL HAVE YOU REWINDING YOUR TAPE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE PLOT AND THEME IS WONDERFUL, IT IS A MUST SEE MOVIE, LOT OF ACTION,HUMOUR NOT TO MENTION THE FINAL DUEL. YOU WOULD LOVE IT. GO AND BUY A COPY OR RENT A COPY NOW. ALSO SEE NINJA VS SHAOLIN GUARD, NINJA HUNTER AND FIVE DEADLY VENOM.

Action abounds.......2007-05-07
A good, but not pretentious, movie. The action sequences are solid and do not attempt to be too flashy. This film and its sequel are worthwhile additions to one's DVD library.
Independent Classic.......2006-05-23
This is one of those "classics" that for some reason was overlooked. Everything about it has the look and feel of anything by Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest except using more beautiful actual locations and real buildings. The fight choreography and cinematography are excellent and surprising since this was not made by any of the aforementioned studios. The actors are pretty much unknowns but are definately capable of performing realistic martial arts techniques without the nauseating wire tricks in today's films. The DVD video and audio quality are very good and thankfully in widescreen. And how important widescreen is in this film. The cast is huge with many extras in many scenes. Also, the Chinese countryside is beautifully filmed adding to the film's epic feel. It's just a kung fu movie, I know, but if care was taken in making films of this quality, maybe the world would've taken the genre more seriously and it wouldn't have degenerated into the sad state it is now.
best wushu ever put in a movie...........2004-09-14
If you like wushu, get this movie. its amazing. a true test of the knowledge of a martial arts film fan is how they rate this movie. If you like actors pretending to be martial artists, being yanked around on strings with 2 second cuts, this movie is NOT for you.
if you like a movie full of REAL talented wushu athletes from China, with LONG fight sequences (upwards of 20-30 seconds! believe it or not!) demonstrating high difficulty moves... this movie is for you.
The story is a bit rudimentary, the dragon boating scenes are a bit boring (unless you're a huge dragon boat fan maybe) but that is what the Fast Forward button is for... its worth it for the fight scenes alone.
Amazing kung fu flick.......2004-07-29
First off, I'd like to point out that I love acrobatic, wushu style of martial arts in movies. If you are the same way, you will absolutely love this movie.
Although the story is boring, it is far from annoying due to the fact that this movie obvously has a higher budget than most kung fu films of the time not starring Jackie Chan. It is a very easy film to watch, and the kung fu is spectacular.
Every person who performs martial arts in this movie is obvously very skilled at wushu, and the choreography is beautifully done.
BUY THIS MOVIE NOW!

Customer Reviews:
Excellent.......2006-08-18
South Shaolin Master is certainly an "old school" classic. It looks, sounds, and feels like a Shaw Brothers film. The techniques are wushu and not real kung fu but still looks great.
Great movie.......2006-02-28
This movie pretty much had it all. Don't expect some Godfrey Ho film. This one is for real martial arts fans. I put this movie right up there with Prodigal Son, of course not as good, I think that if the fight scenes were longer and gave me a little more sense of realism it would have definitely gotten 5 stars.
And the release from video asai is perfectlky widescreened and the picture isd FULLY remastered. English dub and UNCUT. This is really the one and only video asai release that I can highly recommned.
