Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

There's nothing much to say. People who have lost limbs are exploited on film. What they do with what they have is pretty remarkable. But if they had been exposed like this in the real world, the next thing that would be picked up would not be an arm or a leg; it would be a head or a carcass or worse. I agree with the guy who can't fathom the sick individual that came up with this idea. I have no interest in talking plot elements.

This is a pretty ordinary martial arts flick overall, plot-wise. Good Guy is done wrong, is trained in martial arts by an Old Master, good guy gets revenge, the end. The Good Guy, in this case, however, is not just humiliated like the heroes in these films generally are, but dismembered. Both arms are hacked off. Then he's humiliated. There is an interesting twist, however, in that the fellow who has the hero's arms hacked off has his own legs shriveled into uselessness by the Bad Guy, Lin Chung Kung, pouring acid on them. There are some decent martial arts sequences to keep things interesting, but when The Old Master is introduced into the story, seemingly for no reason at all, in food basket, it just gets too corny. I suppose no one really expects high cinematic art from these things, though, do they? One of the most interesting things about this film are the stars, Frankie Sum (Lee Ho) and Jack Conn (Tau). Sum was a thialidomide baby leaving him born with underdeveloped arms. Conn's legs were left small and withered due to developmental problems during his mother's pregnancy. The result is a film watched with the same voyeuristic interest that you have watching Tod Browning's Freaks. It's at times so disturbing you can't look away. Their acting is at best wooden (though Sum's work with the staff is pretty cool), but give them credit for trying.Bad acting, worse dialog, but I can't understand why this one hasn't developed the cult following it deserves. Not an outstanding film, even by the low standards of the genre, but it should be seen by aficionados of the grotesque and martial arts both at least once.

If you can put aside story sophistication, story line continuity, and class, you will utterly love this movie. It is a bizarre story of two crippled people working together to beat their evil master. Once these former enemies pair up with some help along the way, they go head to head with their former master in an unforgettable fight scene in the end. The Kung Fu was OK, but the ingenuity makes it worth it. It's mindless fun and the kind of movie that everyone with a sense of humor will love. Enjoyment factor: 10 Sophistication factor: 0

This movie contains very impressive martial artistry by guy with no arms and guy with no legs. However, that is beside the point, as anyone that would possibly want to watch this movie would do so for purely camp value. Oh yes, Crippled Masters has camp value. By the end, the film quality gets much worse, and there are obvious film edits mid-shot, and it ends with a big freeze frame. It's very funny how terrible this movie is, as long as you aren't too sensitive about handicaps.
