Good start, but then it gets ruined
A Brilliant Conflict
A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
I'm not sure why FIGHTING DUEL OF DEATH has such a high rating on this site because it's a very poor and ultra-cheap movie from Taiwan. The backdrop of the movie is a contemporary thriller in which the main comes out of prison and straight away gets targeted by an old enemy who's gunning for revenge. I was little surprised to see Tomas Tang's name pop up as producer as this guy's name always seems to be associated with cheap film-making.The story is familiar and unsurprising. There's a wealth of fight action in this one but all of it is very below par and lacking in the most basic choreography. The cast members were unknown to me, their performances hidden behind the usual poor dub job. Even worse, the picture quality of this title is shockingly bad, a VHS rip full of fuzz and grain that continually saps the viewer's enjoyment. FIGHTING DUEL OF DEATH fully deserves to languish in obscurity as one of the martial art genre's most turgid entries.
