I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
The greatest movie ever!
Not even bad in a good way
it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Those elaborate, Shaw Brothers-style period costumes just don't work against a Poverty Row background like the one we see in "Invincible Armor", but hell...why quibble? Hwang Jang Lee and John Liu, two of the top three kickers in the business (the third being Delon Tam, Liu's instructor), tear up the screen in this film and that's what counts. My only complaint about the fight scenes is that there were too many distracting, split-second shots of shattered eggs every time someone attacked what they thought was Hwang's vulnerable point (his testicles, naturally). Just concentrate on the action, guys, please! Otherwise, this is a fun, straightforward flick that you'll enjoy if Hong Kong kung fu cinema is your thing.
The 'script' is hilarious. The kicking is awesome. All the men with beards look the same. The love interest is a bit of a minger, and her brother appears to be retarded.This is by far my favourite kung fu film, and I believe was also sounded endorsed by Quentin Tarantino when he was doing the rounds for Kill Bill 2.You will laugh, you will go 'oooooh' you will clasp your face with agony at the dire dubbing and acting and YOU WILL ENJOY THIS.Also, it has a man defeated by an 'iron finger' attack _down there_ if you know what I mean. Nice.
hwang yang yee plays three parts in this film, and is put up against another of the kung fu film industries best kickers, john liu. the film is noteable for having a plot (other than 'oi you, didnt you kill my brother') but the scenes are only good when liu is doling out punishment to assorted bystanders. nevertheless, this is one of the few kung fu flicks i would recommend to non-afficionados.
I searched hard on IMDb for this film since it is not primarily listed by it's English name: "Invincible Armor". I work at a video store and was in the mood for a kung-fu movie. I had only seen one kung-fu movie before (Shaolin vs. Lama) and it was pretty cool, so I picked up this one. It was great from the start. They're were some pretty cool training scenes for "eagle claw" and "iron armor" techniques, these scenes made for a great intro to the film. What I found to be the coolest thing of all is that some of the dialogue from the movie is sampled on one of the rap group "Wu-Tang Clan"'s albums. The finale is great too. There is a groin joke in the final fight that I won't reveal. Very funny! All in all a great king-fu flick.
