Enter the Fat Dragon 1978
I think I have seen this movie once before, but I am not sure. This is a comedy, but Sammo isn't nearly as goofy as Jackie could be in his movies. The plot is slight, Bruce Lee worshipping country boy goes to Hong Kong to work for his uncle. He runs afoul of gangs and fights break out constantly. Somehow, Ah Lung trained hard and became well versed in martial arts. I got this confused with 1980's Skinny Tiger Fatty Dragon, then realized I had not seen this one before.

952. The wild When Tae Kwon Do Strikes review!
There should be a comedy meter for martial arts movies.

938. The tangled Ten Tigers of Kwangtung review!
Real heroes, probably a very embellished narrative.

931. The agile Amazons and Supermen of 1974 review!
This is a fun movie, overall, but some judicious changes could have made it a classic.

910. The semi-positive Stone (1974) review!
This movie made itself hard to like. The fights are good, but...

Villain of the Week- Master of the Flying Guillotine, Fung-sheng Wu-chi
The one-armed martial arts master is being stalked by an imperial assassin,
the master of two fighters (the Tibetan lamas) who were killed in the
previous film. The title refers to the assassin's weapon, the "flying
guillotine", which resembles a hat with a bladed rim attached to a long
chain. Upon enveloping one's head, the blades cleanly decapitate the
victim with a quick pull of the chain. The Boxer's adversary is the
assassin Fung-sheng Wu-chi, who is blind, is an expert user of the
Flying Guillotine, and relies on others to identify one-armed men, whom
he then kills.

889. The Fatal Flying Guillotine review!
Two very different flying guillotines from the originals.

The Eliminators 1986
From Wiki- Eliminators is a 1986 science fiction action film directed by Peter Manoogian, starring Andrew Prine, Denise Crosby and Patrick Reynolds. The plot centers on a "Mandroid"
constructed by an evil scientist from the body of a downed pilot, who
teams up with the scientist responsible for android technology, her pet
robot Spot, a riverboat guide and a martial arts warrior. Back to me: It is a Charles Band movie, so that means it was gonna be at least interesting. It has a little bit of everything popular from the time frame in it, and even a Star Trek connection. Well, a soon to be Star Trek connection, anyway.

861. The titanic Tattooed Dragon review! 1973
Here we have an odd and somewhat lowkey Wang Yu movie, made by Golden Harvest.

847. The Wild Warriors Two of 1978 review!
This is an excellent movie. I wish Sammo had made one about Choy Li Fut!

819. Days of our Dragons Forever (1988)
I really want to like this movie more often than I do. The action scenes are great, but...

Dragons Forever?
Well, I may have a rather interesting take on this classic Jackie-Sammo-Yuen Biao movie in the near future.

770. The Brave Archer Ends! 1977
Yep, it is part 2 of The Brave Archer. I am on the fence about reviewing more of this series.

763. The first half of The Brave Archer (1977)
This is a first- I only reviewed the first half of this Shaws movie. I believe it was a good decision.
