REVIEW:
Back in the 80's, I remember how popular this movie
was. Everyone in school would talk about this movie which was
shown many times on Kung Fu theater.
Now many years later, the limited collector's edition
of the popular Shaw Brothers film is on DVD.
Granted, most people who will buy this are Shaw
Brothers film fans, Chang Cheh fans or fans of the popular movie
but I'll cut to the chase.
The DVD quality is like television on VCR (SP) quality
and there is no features, just the movie itself. Depsite it has
the "limited collector's edition" on it, there's really
not much on it.
So, if you want to watch this movie to reminisce
of the old days of kung fu badly dubbed English movies, "Chinese
Super Ninja" was one of the finer movies to show on televison.
