When I was a kid on saturday mornings after all the cartoons were over they had kung fu theater. I remember one that was about shaolin trials, or something along the line. It had people with names like Lizard, and Cobra. The main character was on poles with blades under his arms holding buckets. Also someone was killing people with a long needle up the nose... What the hell is this movie, and where can I get it? Any ideas?

Oh yeah, any ideas on outher kung fu movies I might like too. I am going to start a collection of them. I have about every Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Jacky Chan movie out.

Like Marvelous Kung Fu and I think Zombie vs Ninja but I have it as Super Ninja Master

Thad,

I'm personally a huge follower of Sonny Chiba.  I would say that any of the Street Fighter films or Shogun's Ninja will more than satisy your kung fu fix.

A bald man named Savalas visited me last night in a dream.  I think it was a Telly vision.

I agree with Skaboi about the Sonny Chiba flicks.  I bought a 4 DVD set a couple of years ago that had uncut, widescreen versions of:

THE STREETFIGHTER

RETURN OF THE STREETFIGHTER

SISTER STREETFIGHTER

THE STREETFIGHTER'S LAST REVENGE

These are great movies to watch after midnight on a Friday or saturday.

I can't place that exact movie.  sounds quite colorful.  the guy with blades under his arms reminds me of "master killer"  where they had blades under their arms and had to carry buckets of water up a hill.

Not sure if that is it, but i will get it anyway. Guess I will buy every kung fu movie ever made till I find it.... this could get expensive

USA use to have Kung Fu Theater on Saturday mornings in the 80's. I always liked the films where the student has to revenge the death of the master and uses all these secret training methods to prepare for the challenge.

I was looking on amazon, and there are a load of those movies on there. I'm sure some of them are crap, but for the most part they are pretty cool. Guess I had better get busy ordering...
