Capcom owes somebody serious royalties.

Something so intrinsically "bad" has never been as immensely watchable. It deftly walks this insane balance between surreal fantasy boxing antics and glorious 'realism' of stunts and kung fu action. Extra props for stealing music from Kraftwerk without asking, and inventing the whole punk-kung-fu intense aesthetic by accident.

There are a lot of creative and entertaining fights. Some of the characters are insanely amusing (as much as loved the stretchy arm yoga fighter, I have to say the sneaky fighter's hilarious name tickled me the most). The story is kind of all over the place (e.g. I'm not sure how the three minions fit in with the guillotine master), so it's best to just forget the plot and watch the colorful characters fight. The groovy 70s soundtrack is also a lot of fun.

There's literally no part of this movie that's bad. Awesome kung-fu, awesome Dhalsim, awesome guillotine, awesome chop-socky effects, awesome "defeating a muy thai master via wearing shoes"

The soundtrack includes Neu!, Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream; I could never imagine those songs in a kung fu movie... and it works very well!

This move has had a huge influence on many modern video games and films (the Street Fighter video game, the Kill Bill films). If you love kung-fu movies see this.

I'm not a huge kung-fu movie fan to be honest. It was entertaining; I liked the tournament fights. But the ending fight was quite long and not that exciting. Also, I have to say this, those sound effects get kind of ridiculous. I know that's common in a kung-fu movie but it kinda gets over the top. Gotta say this, one guy literally has balls of steel

This film features one of the best villains in any martial arts film..a psychopathic killer who wields a gimmick guillotine that lops off heads. The movie has plenty of mystical Kung Fu and lots of absurd dialog and a badass soundtrack. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.

This Kung Fu movie has just a little too much hokey nonsense. It has a couple decent fights but you have to wade though a lot of bad match ups. The contests to the death were terrible. Awful soundtrack. I laughed good when the one armed boxer walked on the ceiling. The so called deadly flying guillotine was possibly the most asinine martial arts weapon ever devised. Somehow I watched to the ending credits. Typical for the genre in those years.

Maybe it's trying to say something about the nature of "an eye for an eye"..who knows. I also gave up trying to figure out the alliances. But the fight scens are excellent and the characters are entertaining. A hell of a fun movie
