The Evil Cult

One of our favorites. Great cast, good story, good action. This recording is a poor quality version however.MoKei transforms from the least to the greatest as he outmaneuvers each of the 6 Kung Fu sects to revenge his parents.Helpful to understand some Chinese specific beliefs like the concept of poisoning. My understanding that he is coughing up ‘poison’ when he learns the ‘great solar stance’. Also, the actress who plays his mother reappears in a different role several minutes later, which could be confusing. Movie has multiple names, this is the U.S. release title. Also called: “Kung Fu Cult Master” (HK), “Yi tian tu long ji: Zhi mo jiao zhu”.Movie ends abruptly as if to be finished in part 2, which was never made.

Top 5 of all time!!

This is definately one of the most entertaining Jet Li movies that I have seen to date, it even parralells Fist of Legends. The fighting is fast furious and the effects are off the scale. The only thing wrong with this movie is that it ends too soon! I have heard that there was going to be a sequel but there were disputes between directors... Well I pray that one day they'll sort that out and bring us a sequel.

I don't know how it happened, but I opened up my DVD case to find a pretty DVD labeled "Lord of the Wu Tang" in color, started up the DVD and it played "Salsa Kings 2" instead of Jet Li's Lord of the Wu Tang. I've seen Lord of the Wu Tang by the way and it is a top notch cheesey sci fi Sunday morning karate flick with pull wires galore. The story line is classic as well and well worth any amount of sub title reading and convinced me the best chinese karate flicks are sub-titled. I've gotta contact Amazon about the switch that happened, hopefully it works out.

I've been looking for this movie forever, so when I saw it advertised on Amazon I quickly bought it. Buuuuuttttt I sorta think this is bootlegged. The quality is on par with YouTube, the extras are at the end of the movie, the subtitles kinda look wonky with no options to change them. The movie just starts. I ranked this 4 stars because I've been looking for this crazy movie for years and finally got SOMETHING, but if I didn't have that personal attachment to it, I think this is garbage. Buyer beware, in other words.

Very pleased...!

Love this movie. If you like crazy old school dramatic kung fu you will love this movie. Got movie very quickly.

This disc is not the best in the world, but it was interesting. Obviously transferred from a video source, the disc is extras-free and not brimming over with quality processing. The overall appearance is rather muddy, and the subtitles are both duplicated in English and Chinese, and very hard to read most of the time. No chapter access, either.On the other hand, the DVD is Widescreen, so I give credit for that. Also, this is a very different style of kung-fu film. I refer to it as a parody because that's what it reminded me of more than anything else; a parody of fantasy martial arts films. Characters not only fly and leap like superheroes, they can also blast opponents with energy bolts, lightning, magical swords, and fantasy kung-fu strikes.The story is a bit hard to follow. Basically, bad guys looking for a magic sword cause the death of Jet Li's parents, and attack their child with with a slow-killing strike. The result is that Jet Li cannot learn kung-fu -- if he tries, he'll die! Eventually, he is cured and becomes the Master of all kung-fu by learning the secret of the "Solar Stance" technique from a powerful kung-fu teacher. Then, Jet can take revenge on the people who killed his parents.Along the way, he meets up with a kung-fu mistress who helps him learn even better kung-fu, another evil kung-fu mistress who wants the handsome young Jet Li for herself, an a bad kung-fu mistress who now controls the magic sword. He also runs into a confusing array of kung-fu masters, enemies, and armies. I admit that I got a bit lost trying to follow who was fighting who, and why. The ending was also left kind of up in the air, as if the film was meant to be the first chapter in a series.Still, the fights are spectacular. Not quite up to the "Once Upon a Time in China" standards, but spectacular nevertheless. In one scene, Jet is attacked with harp strings by the evil mistress, and in another, an army is devestated by an underground assault!Overall, the film is a lot of fun, mostly because it takes itself seriously (albeit with tongue firmly planted in cheek). Despite the shoddy processing, the disc is definitely worth the low price for Jet Li fans, or for "Crouching Tiger" fans with a sense of humor.
