Reviews/Synopsis

Please go to the following website for detailed information:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deadly_Mantis_%281978_film%29

This is one of the all time, all around, most realistically done martial arts films. A film about the origins of Mantis Fist kung fu. The fighting in this film is second to none.
I have over five hundred of the classic martial arts films released from the 40s to the 1980s. This film is a testament to weapons interplay as well as Mantis Fist, hand to hand martial arts combat.
David Chiang worked very hard in this film. Liu Chia Yung (Liu Chia Liang's real life brother and also directed this film) is the main rival. Liu Chia Hui (the liu's adopted brother Gordon Liu is in the beginning of this film as a Shaolin Monk).
You have to see this film to know what quality martial arts cinema really is. The ending duels between the different weapons are intentionally paired, to show the viewer how these weapons have strengths and weakness' against one another.
Some of the all time greatest hand to hand fighting as well.
