Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
stellan-sjolin Silly and funny movie with lots of good fun. The burning chicken and a image of a certain drunken master at an altar is a few of the highlights.
Big Harvest The name of English is so brilliant. Firstly, we thought that it is only a story of Chinese Spell. Howeover, it is a revenge of a young man. Contray to contemporary Chinese Spell Movie, this movie shows us too much culture fortune. Content is so rich, explanation is also in place. Maybe, recently showed movie "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia" can't surmount it.
Dan This film has some cheesy fights, cheesy effects, cheesy characters and everything that a fan of cheese cinema wants to see in a film! The story is about a man whose wife has been killed by the local emperor and he is sentenced to death. Therefore, in order to flee he kindaps the emperor's son and flees with him. On the way, the emperor's son is killed accidentally, and the man who is chased by the emperor's soldiers gives his nephew a medal that had belonged to the emperor's son before he was killed. Later on, the bad guys appear and everything becomes so cheesy that you won't stop laughing! On the top of that, there are many wine bottles flying around! Bottom line : I recommend that you watch this cheesy film if you are in favour of this genre! 7/10
David Austin Not really an outstanding piece. Some of the fights are really fun and inventive, particularly the Jar Man, and the pseudo-midget fu. Sunny Yuen plays the heavy as usual. His Sorcerer Bat character has some good moves, and comes off as a more intelligent and controlled version of his villain in Taoism Drunkard. The final sorcerer's competition is mighty goofy and entertaining, and there's less reliance than usual on the crossed-eyes, big fake mole brand of humor. Still, Taoism Drunkard is much wackier, and Dreadnaught is much more coherent, as well as having better fighting. Worth seeing if you like the Yuen Bros, or bizarro cinema in general.
