Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

lemon_magic Yet another movie about a martial artist who has mastered the art of the Iron Shirt/Iron Vest/Golden Bell cover (NOT Tai Chi Chuan at least no school I was ever familiar with - even in Chen style, TCC emphasizes fluidity and softness, yielding before attacks and not getting hit, not just having stuff bounce off you!), but it's a good one.What's especially interesting to me about "Born Invincible" is the way the "hero fights to avenge his slain master" theme is carried out. Usually in these flicks, it's just one protagonist who trains and trains and trains, suffering multiple defeats until finally he (or he and a couple of his allies) manage to overcome the villain in a furious showdown. But this time around, it's an entire school trying to avenge their fallen teacher, and it takes three different male students plus a female student helping the last two male students, plus a Taoist nun's cryptic advice, to overcome the bad guy. It was really different, watching three different kung fu guys investing all that time and energy with various styles, tricks and gimmicks...only to get mowed down anyway. (The first gets killed, the 2nd is so badly injured he can't fight again, and the third needs all the help he can get PLUS a dirty trick to win!) \Carter Wong and Lo Lieh make fine villains. They are so interesting, in fact, that the good guys look a bit bland and boring in comparison. The camera work, editing and choreography make them look very ferocious and unstoppable when they get rolling, especially CW as the white haired "invincible" bad guy. Although, as villains go, you have to wonder, how bad are they really? Yes, they kill a guy who offended them years ago, plus a couple other trained martial artists in pitched duels, but it's not like they go around terrorizing the countryside or whatever, at least not that we see. If fact when CW's character isn't whaling on someone, he's mostly seen simply sitting on his meditation cusion in front of the Pa Kua symbol.This one was a lot of fun. The usual terrible dubbing doesn't really matter too much. Good costumes, good choreography, nice handling of the "find the villain's weak spot" trope, and a nice variation of the usual clichés by having multiple heros face the bad guys over time.

mads leonard holvik Joseph Kuo has made a brilliant movie because the antagonist, the Chi Kung super villain, is such a good caracter. Carter Wong looks a bit like the icelandic world strongest man champion, Magnus ver Magnusson, but thats the only similarity. He is a killing machine, and there is nothing to be done to stop him. And that will be his demise. He is too evil for this world, and being a Chi Kung master, he should have evolved beyond blood lust. When Wong is asked by his female master to spare Lo Leihs life, Joseph Kuo shows signs of genius. The arch villain has a human side, but is is as repressed as that of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. But more than just a super villain, Born Invinsible has a great cast of protagonists. The confidence and skill of Jack Long makes the deadly fights even more dramatic. And can there be a sexier woman than Lo Leih telling Carter Wong to go to hell?

Rea-4 This is one of the rare kungfu movies ever made in Hong Kong. Nothing is boring here : interesting script, direct and efficient scenery, good acting. But what makes this movie so good is the fight scenes that are inventively and beautifully choreographed. Not only it's very good but it's also very hard-to-find. Dammage.
