Wind and Cloud: The Storm Riders

Customer Reviews:

Awesome.......2007-08-16

This is what it was all about, The hokey pokey had nothing to do with it.
Great cinematic adventure combining martial arts, fantasy and romance. A second part was made but like many other sequels it does not do justice to this the first one.

Don't confuse this show with the movie!.......2007-08-15

There is a major discrepency here, the product description and reviews reflect the movie storm riders which was great, but "Wind and Cloud" is a TV mini-series which might be ok if you get the entire series, but Best Buy sells a cut version of the series on 1 DVD which I bought and was very dissapointed. Do not purchase the 1 disc version of "Wind and Cloud"

Good action, bad editing, and a so so story.......2007-04-28

This movie was supposed to be a sequel to the well received Hong Kong action feast Storm Riders. What it is seems to be more of a TV series edited to be a full length movie. The cuts are bad and the English dub, is sub par, especially the annoying villain. However the fights were amazing, and the special effects, though not on the level of Hollywood or even Hong Kong blockbusters were entertaining. I gave the movie 3 Stars for it's great, though Power Rangeresque action, and it's full hearted but low budgeted attempt at making a sequel to a movie I thought really needed one. If you like the first movie and you like over the top action, you'll like this movie. But if you're looking for a movie that has the same feel and polish as the first movie you will be dissapointed.

Soap opera?.......2007-04-02

Thought I was actually going to see a sequel to the original movie. Instead It looked like a cut up version of a tv series. Not much action and story was confusing because too many pieces were cut out.

One of the best "comic style" live action films.......2007-03-29

I have watched a few other films that tried to do this same story, but none compare to this one. By far my favorite comic style story in live action. Special effects are so much better that the others.

Not Good Transfer.......2006-11-14

Most of the transfers of this film to DVD are of poor quality reproduction. The Actual title of this film is, "The Grand Duel." It is possible to get a a good copy on double disc set with another Van Cleef western, "Beyond The Law", produced on DVD by Wild East in their 2:35:1 ratio, check them out.
As for this DVD version, buy only if your a Van Cleef aficionado

Lee Van Cleef always good, particularly in Westerns, but this spaghetti W. DVD is flawed by bad reproduction!.......2006-07-05

Beware the 'Passion Productions' copies
of this original 1971 Italian/German
production! Fine film overall, but no-
where near as good as w/ Eastwood in
For a Few Dollars More. Might be worth
getting for Lee Van Cleef fans. Also,
check out Armed Response, one of his
last, The Octogon, w/ Chuck Norris
and Escape From New York, w/ Kurt
Russell!

The Grand Duel (VHS) distributed by TIMELESS VIDEO INC........2003-08-10

The movie itself (plot, acting, etc.) is good - Lee van Cleef at his usual excellence. But the "quality" of the VHS cassette is below any acceptable standard. On the video side, there are scratches and other blemishes throughout the length of the movie. On the audio side, the sound track is so bad that over half of the dialogue is unintelligble - just a lot of cackle, crackle, and noise. The poor quality of the VHS destroys any enjoyment one would otherwise get from a good western.

False Info in previous review.......2003-06-02

This movie, "The Grand Duel," is not a new title on the original, "The Big Gundown." I watched "The Big Gundown," during the western channels Lee Van Clef month a few weeks ago, and although they are both spaghetti westerns they are not the same movie. "The Big Gundown" is MUCH MUCH better but doesn't appear to be on video yet.

Energetic Western, Good Music, 1 of Van Cleef's Best.......2003-05-01

One of the better movies that starred Lee Van Cleef in the late 60s/early 70s. This movie was originally released as "The Big Gundown." Good musical score, good plot twist that is very similar to that of a very good 1958 western Van Cleef had a small role in ("The Bravados" starring Gregory Peck). "Barquero" another similarly obscure Van Cleef western from late 60s/early 70s well worth watching but very hard to find.

Product Description

Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. LANGUAGES: English (Dolby Digital 2.0), Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0), Spanish (Subtitles), SYNOPSIS: A group of radical Vietnam vets become broadcasting pirates and take on a Presidential candidate in this crazy comedy. The vets and their leader, 'Captain,' are television raiders flying all over the country in a B-29 they turned into flying broadcasting station S&M TV, jamming the airwaves wherever they go. Their self-assigned mission for the past 20 years is to keep the public informed about government activity to stop them from launching another foolish war like Vietnam. To do this they monitor the broadcasts of other television stations and when they don't like what they hear, they bust in and expose the lies. The bulk of the story centers around their final mission: an all-out attempt to keep Mrs. Willa Westinghouse, an ultra-conservative Presidential candidate and strong proponent of the Cold War and military strength, from winning the election.
