Watch Spiritual Kung Fu For Free

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

If you are like me, a Jackie Chan fanboy, then you will love this movie.It has been sitting on my shelf for a while now and I have only chosen other movies to watch in my spare time due to the shockingly low rating it has received here.What a fool I was. this movie is just as good as the likes of Snake and Crane or Shaolin Wooden Men and is only slightly less entertaining than the great Fearless Hyena.Ignore the reviews that rate this film so low. They are obviously written by the small unfortunate portion of Jackie's fanbase that consider the Rush Hour trilogy as his biggest achievement.If you consider yourself a true Jackie Chan fan, you will not be disappointed with this film.

I picked this film up on DVD for a couple of bucks at Wal-Mart, so I wasn't really expecting a great film. Spiritual Kung Fu met these expectations. Bad dubbing, bad special effects, and the goofy clown/mime/rag doll/ghosts detracted from the film.What made the film bearable was the good kung fu and the casting of James Tien as the bad guy. There's also a twist at the end that is only hinted at once during the film, so it comes as quite a surprise.If you want a great film to make you think, watch something else. If you want a goofy chopsocky Jackie Chan movie to waste a couple of hours, (and have no deep-seated fear of clowns) check Spiritual Kung Fu out.Lex

I bought this movie for 88 cents Canadian, which is insanely cheap. It was definitely worth the money and then a little more. This movie is quite funny at times. Occasionally it's funny on purpose and occasionally it's funny by accident. The plot is just an excuse for Jackie Chan to learn the five fists technique for the inevitable show down with the seemingly invincible 7 fist technique villain who wants to become clan leader. Most of the action for the first 40 minutes or so is non-existent. Instead, we're left with bits of physical comedy, including a rather long scene when Jackie first meats the ghosts. Most of that scene is actually funny in a really goofy, weird, stupid kind of way. Once that scene is done with we're left with some above average fight scenes.Chan has two fight scenes with the daughter of the leader of the Wu Tang clan and they're both entertaining due in part to the ridiculous dialog's. We also got to see some mildly entertaining scenes with the villain beating up other clan leaders. The real keeper here and what pretty much made this movie worth the 88 cents alone is when Jackie fights a whole load of shaolin monks at once. He begins fighting with a staff and then eventually tonfa's (I think that's what they're called). This whole scene is quite long and just keeps getting better; really great stuff. Jackie then has two fight scenes at the end. One is with the villain and it is well done due to the five different animal styles Chan amusingly implements. The other is with the Villain's father, which is mostly devoid of Kung Fu and starts with the physical comedy again.I should also mention the awful dubbing and really weird synth music that sounds like a mix between 70's porno, traditional Chinese, and 80's sci-fi synth. If those ballerina ghosts weren't weird enough the music certainly was. The special effects are also awful. Someone already mentioned the fire cracker on the stick. Honestly, what can you expect? It was laughable and it actually made the movie more enjoyable. I laughed the most at the fire cracker and you probably will too. The plot is run of the mill and is just an excuse for fights.Lastly I'll mention that the version I have is kind of weird in that half the time it appears that the top and side portions of the film are missing. I say that because routinely stuff was happening in the scene just off to the side that I should have been able to see and you really notice it during the fights where one guy is half off-camera and half on-camera. I don't think that was done on purpose. The quality of the video is awful too, but that's to be expected... however, the sound effects are better than most during this time period.All in all if you can find this for as cheap as I did, or perhaps for a little more it's definitely worth owning if you're a Jackie Chan or a Kung Fu fan in general. There are 4 quality fights (for the time/budget) and depending on what kind of sense of humor you have, you'll probably find the movie reasonable funny as well.

Okay, so it's basically a crappy chopsocky movie. There are perhaps hints of Jackie Chan's unparalleled skill and comic brilliance, but not a whole lot more. The action is pretty run of the mill for the period. However, the dubbing in this film makes it pretty entertaining at points, my favorite part being the interaction between Jackie and the the young woman, who is the first girl his character has ever seen. After flirting with her, he tries to show off some of the 5-style fist he's been learning from the white-faced ballerina ghosts (that's a whole other story, but also pretty amusing). Jackie goes into a stance, and the following dialogue ensues: Girl(coy): "What's that?" Jackie(smug): "Oh, you wouldn't know that. That's the famous crane style." Girl(bitchy): "Really? Well, you look like a teapot. Pouring tea!" Jackie(indignant): "You insult my style?! I'll show you!"They fight, and she defeats him. After consulting with the ballerina ghosts, Jackie waits for a rematch:Jackie(sly): "I've been waiting for you all morning." Girl(chipper): "Why? To get beat?" Jackie(confident): "I won't get beat. But you will."He then proceeds to mop the floor with her; poking her in the head with his crane beak/fist, he goads, "A teapot? Is that right?!"If you found that at all funny, then maybe it's worth checking out. For some reason I thought it was amusing. But you'd better be a pretty serious Jackie Chan fan, 'cause there isn't much else there.
