Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Classic Kung Fu fare from the Hong Kong school directed by the old master himself, Joseph Kuo, Born Invincible has only been available in an extremely crackly print for years. Fortunately this version has been cleaned up, though lovers of Oriental kitsch will be glad to hear that the risible, excruciating dubbing remains intact. The plot revolves around the evil Ching Ying (Carter Wong), who has trained since the age of three in the near-impossible art of Tai Chi Kung Fu. His body has become tantamount to a single, deadly muscle, the 108 pressure points of human vulnerability reduced to just one--his sole weakness. His training has also left him with whitened hair and a voice that, dubbed, is a little too close to Harry Enfield's Grayson character from the Mr Cholmondley-Warner sketches in high excitement. Having killed two elders of the Lei Ping school in martial combat over an old score, it falls to the students of that establishment to avenge their masters, through three rigorous years of training. The awesome, though often-comical fight scenes (which in no way resemble Tai Chi) dominate the movie, involving as they do protracted acrobatic manoeuvres, few of which seem to involve actual contact with the human body. Still, lovers of The Matrix might care to revisit this, in order to check out how those moves were first committed to celluloid when editing was less of a fine art. --David Stubbs

Synopsis
Story about three young martial arts experts who take action to try and stop the reign of havoc by the white haired Chi Kung expert. They must reach his throat, his one weak spot, and defeat him..........

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't be beaten, 27 Dec 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Born Invincible [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
For fans of old skool kung fu films this is a must. A good plot, decent picture quality, dubbed dialogue that actually adds to the film. A real corker!

5.0 out of 5 stars one of THE best old kung fu movies, 22 Jul 2006
By man with no name (East Grinstead, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Born Invincible [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
This film is without doubt one of THE best old school kung fu movies available to buy today. Carter Wong is increidble in this film as the laughing white haired kung fu master, all the fight sequences are choreoghraphed by Yuen Woo Ping and the action is breathetaking and almost non stop. If you love kung fu movies then this is an absolute must no questions asked. Having sat through alot of good and bad kung fu movies, this is in my all time top 3 along with 'Shaolin and Wu Tang' and '7 grandmasters' (available on dvd as an 'old skool double bill with eagles claw). If you don't own these 3 films you know nothing!
