review by: tomhuk date: 2002-08-18 rating:18 Bronzemen DVD
This is one of the all time kung fu classics, it has an original plot based around a shaolin student, Shao Lung (Tien Peng) and Tai Chun (Carter Wong), a fellow class mate. Shao Lung was left in the care of Shaolin temple after his parents died. Deciding that he must avenge his father's death he asks permission to leave the temple but before he is allowed to go he must prove himself worthy by passing the test of the 18 Bronzemen. The two enter the chambers of the 18 Bronzemen. In each chamber they are faced by a different challenge which includes bronze painted men wielding staffs and swords or who are completely dressed in iron armour. pThe test takes up the majority of the film and is certainly the most entertaining and memorable part. The 18 Bronze men had a large budget (for the time) and a strong cast, it is one of those ground breaking movies that not only spawned a sequel but also influenced film makers for years after.pUnfortunately it is let down a bit by its DVD release. The picture quality is quite poor, which impart is due to the picture being enlarged and altered to fit the wide a screen format so you loose a good portion of the screen (which for some bizarre reason seems to be common among kung fu films on dvd's). So in some of the fight scenes you do loose allot of the action (as people are fighting off screen), and this can be frustrating.pAll that said though, if you except these "quirks" this is a genre classic that should be in every kung fu film fan's collection and will be the only version available on DVD for a while. Its defiantly worth a look if your into old school kung fu.
