i hate video asia.......2006-05-30

Ok, folks! Here it is! The second release of One-Armed Swordsmen
by video asia! But is this release any good??? Well let me tell
you, there are changes! Yes! Remember the last One Armed
Swordsmen had this problem where the film will play 12 mintues
in then the movie would skip to the instant action thing! Well,
all I can say is that they DID fixed that problem! BUT DON'T GET
HAPPY, yet! Just when you thought things could get better, they
tend to get worst! Ever have that problem where a DVD is
defective and these blocky images appear on the screen and the
film pauses!? Well this movie certainly has that but there is a
difference! The DVD doesn't pause, but blocky images appear but
get this, there's nothing wrong with the DVD! The blocks are
imbedded! SO HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY! Good news on that is appears
once every like 2 to 4 minutes at a time! It's not a complete
wreck, just wish they can fix that problem! Other problem is
they cut the first 3 and a quarter minutes of the film off and
cut right to the graveyard scene! So you miss the credits (Jimmy
Wang Yu and David Chiang both star and directed this film along
with Lo Lieh)and whatever!

This package comes with One-Armed vs. 9 Killers which is the
same as their previous release (read my review on it)! extras
include interviews with Phillip Ko and Jimmy Wang Yu and a
really awsome behind the scenes making of a kung fu film
documentry called Fist of Fire with David Chiang (one would
assume)!

Description

The Dragon Masked Bandit is the top criminal of the region. He is warded off by the One Armed Swordsman, who clashes with him and cuts off his arm. The stage is now set for a duel of one-armed experts whose battles take them all the way to Shaolin Temple where they must fight the High Priests to uncover the mystery of who the Dragon Masked Bandit is. Shaw Brothers superstars Jimmy Wang Yu, the original One Armed Swordsman, teams up with his replacement David Chang in their only film roles together. For the first time, two legends of martial arts clash! An epic on the Shaw Brothers level!

What a piece of garbage.......2005-02-21

I don't know where the last guy got his DVD from, but I would love a copy since I liked this movie when I saw in on VHS many years ago. I got the same DVD everyone else did, the one that skips from scene to scene, and seems like its scratched or something. I returned this movie 2 times to the store I bought it from because I thought it was defective. Now I see that that is just the way the movie was made. It's a shame really, because it is a decent film. If anyone out there can find this movie released by a different company please contact me, because I would like a copy.

I know what's wrong with this DVD.......2005-01-25

This will be hard to explain!! I got this dvd and what it does is that in 12 minutes or so into the film the movie will cut to the instant action thing! You see, this DVD played all 1 hour and 50 minutes of the feature film on my dvd player for my computer! But it will do that 12 minutes then skip to instant action thing on regular DVD players or PS2 and I assume XBOX! But still I wouldn't recommend this product! Video Asia is just another piece of garbage DVD kung fu company who are uneducated monogloids who can't pay attention to what they do! I really like this movie despite bad picture but I'd trust bootlegs over
this crap!

READ the reviews first!!!!! UNWATCHABLE.......2004-07-19

I should have seen these reviews first, I usually do. this DVD is totally unwatchable. Each scene cuts to the next and you trhink something is wrong with the disc or player. Theire is also no apparent time line here, maybe 20 years ago we could have called this non-linearity "brilliant" but something is wrong with this disc, as the one reviwer stated, they should have QC'd this DVD before selling it.

What happened to the film?.......2004-04-13

Word of warning about this DVD - it's not the complete film.

It seems to be a collection of action scenes from the film, mixed together in a slapdash fashion, it is certainly NOT the full film.

For example during one fight scene there is a dead woman who you have no idea how/why she's there. The movie skips and then in the next scene she's alive and running around while the two who were fighting in the previous scene are now together and fighting a different character altogether.

Very disappointing.

Maybe the video is the complete film, but avoid this one.

Full of bug, unwatchable.......2003-12-12

...Two problems I had with this DVD:

(1) The movie kept jumping (skipping) scenes. The DVD itself has no scratch and looks clean. I tried with different players and had the same problem. I believe it was not authored correctly, perhaps with the Insta Action stuffs. They should have tested their products first (d*mn it).

(2) My mistake. I mistook this for One-Armed SwordsmAn, the original movie, starring the same Jimmy Wang Yu. The title of this DVD uses the plural form, "SwordmEn".
