The Last of Kung Fu... for a while ;)

Ok, so the SBS Shaw Bros special has finished now. I think my mates at college will appreciate me talking about something (anything!) other than Kung Fu again.

In conclusion, here's one sentence on each of the five films (in the order SBS screened them):

1. The Blood Brothers (1973, 2 stars) - kinda slow with a drawn-out ending... not for the kung-fu first timer.
   
2. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978, 5 stars) - exceptional in almost every respect!
   
3. Eight Diagram Pole Fighter (1983, 2.5 stars) - a film of two halves: started like Monkey Magic outtakes, finished with some stunning fighting and a cool (if cheesy) twist.
   
4. Come Drink with Me (1966?, 3 stars) - consistently cool, but kinda weird in that there are two 'heroes', each with their own fairly isolated little storyline, and neither of them resolve in a major climax... weird!
   
5. The Magic Blade (1976, 4 stars) - a neat story with quirky bad-guys and good variety in the fighting. (Also has a large dose of surreal stunts and special effects)

I'll stop for a while now :)
