GET THE REMASTERED VERSION Its simple, look for the remastered version. Don't get just any version. The movie is a classic and gets 5 stars from me. They worked hard on this one. But, anything other then remastered of this classic isn't worth it. Look for sellers stating remastered version.
Not happy with purchase Although the movie is decent, the quality of the dvd is not, it has problems with sudden freezes at times, que quality of the picture is below standards and the ending of the movie is cutoff so there's no ending scene. A very dissapointing dvd.
This is NOT Duel Of The Iron Fist Do not be fooled by the change of title, this is NOT Duel Of The Iron Fist...not entirely.
The VHS version of this classic film is called Duel Of The Shaolin Fist, and is edited for TV, minus much of the fight scenes, especially the final one. It's at least in wide screen, which is a plus. It clocks in at 90 minutes.
This DVD version clocks in at 98 minutes, but is full screen (meaning that we get to miss the sides of it all, including half their faces, at times). In addition, the ending is once again cut out of the film.
When will we be able to get the full-length, uncut version, in glorious wide screen? I doubt that I'll live long enough to see it again.
Awful work on this fantastic film. Don't waste your money.
not bad for an early kung fu flick Duel of the Iron Fist was made and released before Bruce Lee took the world by storm, so the fight choreography in this movie is not the best, not saying that it is the worst either. Bruce Lee would later provide the formula for martial arts choreography. Duel of the Iron Fist is still worth viewing. The story is great, the acting is great and the fights are entertaining. It stars both David Chiang and Ti Lung, who are 2 of the better actors in Kung-Fu Cinema and it's directed by my favorite martial arts director Chang Cheh. So if you love old school Shaw Brothers than view this flick, if your'e expecting something like Jackie Chan or Jet Li, look elsewhere
CLASSIC KUNG-FU MOVIE A YOUNG STREETFIGHTER RETURNS HOME TO FIND OUT WHO KILLED HIS GODFATHER. GREAT STORYLINE AND GOOD FIGHT SCENES. IF YOU LIKE OLD SCHOOL MARTIAL ARTS MOVIES, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS ENJOYING THIS MOVIE. IT EVEN HAS AN ENDING I DIDN'T SEE COMING.
