My 12 Kung Fu Kicks

I'm not a fan of old school Kung Fu films. I have never been able to appreciate the horrible acting, laughable sound effects, and out of sync English dubs in those old films, but my friend grew up watching old school Kung Fu movies in the theater during the 1970s. Browsing through Amazon's prime list of Kung Fu movies we came across this film. We decided to give it a try because it was dubbed in English. He doesn't like subtitles, but subtitles don't bother me since I love to watch lots of foreign films.

I was expected to be bored to death, but surprisingly, I had a good time watching this 1979 film. I don't remember laughing as much watching any other Kung Fu flick as I had with Kung Fu Hustle (2004). But this film had me chuckling throughout the film. It seems the makers of this film were greatly influenced by the funny physical antics of the original The Three Stooges (Larry, Moe and Curly). If you were a fan of The Three Stooges and you love old school Kung Fu movies, this one is up your alley.

The acting and English dubs are horrible, but the comedy made up for that.
