Perfect cast and a good story
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
This old school late 70's Kung Fu flick needs to b watched by fans of the genre for sure!!!! How the double hockey stick ( and yes that term hasn't been used in awhile) does that Indian dude in the last few action scenes do that stuff....wasn't't even special effects back then. "Kung Fu vs. Yoga" more like Kung Fu vs. circus "freak" contortionist. I been to Barnums and Baileys circus in the 80's n still didn't see That kind of limb manipulation. One of my favorite scenes is still the tag team against the Transvestite and i swear on my son it's not what it sounds like. Amazing fight choreography. I know this is not the best review for a film but just what i have said should be enough for any fan of the old school kung fu films to check it out....all i have hinted at is true but trust me check it out and u will understand. I scored my copy cheap in a clearance section at my local F.Y.E here in NH...but i surely would have paid more if i knew what i found n u should too if u lucky enough to come across it!!
"Odd" is a relative term when dealing with kung fu movies, but KUNG FU VS. YOGA offers up what can ONLY be described as an odd fight scene. It involves a yoga master who can seemingly pop his limbs out of their sockets at will. It's a bit disjointed, to say the least, and the fighting itself is something less than credible (look closely and you'll realize that the guy isn't fighting so much as break dancing). The lead actor, the toothless "Tiger," comes across as a poor man's Jackie Chan. The humor is of the Old School kung fu movie variety (meaning that it's watered-down Jackie Chan schtick) and the print I saw was of lesser quality, so I can't really recommend this one unless you're one of those people who can watch a movie like FREAKS (the Tod Browning version) and walk away feeling entertained.
Kung Fu vs Yoga is another one of hong kong cinema's hidden gems. On the surface, it is poorly conceived, strangely acted, and badly dubbed, but the action well makes up for that. The characters are unique and original, leading up to the final battle with Singh at the end, which is one of the most unique fights in HK cinema history. Singh's otherworldly flexibility is worked into the battle, which lasts about 15 minutes in 3 segments. No one has ever attempted this, nor will any ever succeed at topping this. Truly unique in all aspects, Kungfu VS Yoga is worth seeing.
Well worth a viewing just for the Yoga master in the last fifteen minutes. Dubbing's a bit of a nightmare but very funny.
