Customer Reviews of "The Kid with the Golden Arm"

old "skool' kung fu!!
As a Lo Meng fan,,this particular flick was profoundly entertaining for me! Anyone out there who really enjoys this venom character, will truly like this flick. I would have given this 5 stars, but I though even-though the story was great,,it lacked body,,,there were no thinking on the part of the audience/ viewers. It was all about escorting some gold,intransit to famine victims,and to vigorously protect it from my main man the "kid with the golden arm",,,LO MENG and his crew,,cocky as usually,,kinda like the A B C's,,,very mundane!!

another 6 venomed classic, would say 7 venomed, but johnny wang doesn't fight too much in this.
Golden arm(lo meng) is the head of a gang that is set on robbing this gold that is being escorted somewhere. His goons, silver spear(lu feng), brass head(shaw's strongman, name not listed anywhere), and iron robe(lung wei, or johnny wang)with his iron fan are wanting the gold but there is also this HUGE respect thing going on. Wei Pei plays this cool a-hole of a swordsman who just seems like he is in the movie to go around and prove himself. But then he gets shown up and dick wei comes out of nowhere and hits him with the sand palm. Then Phillip Kwok is introduced and his character was alright but his drunkiness really wasn't thoroughly explored. But I am a nitpicker cause he was AWESOME. And the fact I have like 5 guys that I am trying to decide who is my favorite character in this makes this a true kung fu classic. <

>So we have an escort service of course to guard this gold to get it where it needs to go. And PLENTY of traps set up by the gang. The movie is only like 77 minutes long but it manages to put action to the screen for like at least an hour. It was a true spectacle. The fights are long, varied, and gory. All the great things you have come to expect form chang cheh gets boosted up one notch in. It seems stupid, but he actually manages to put together a good movie. And the music was even a little different. Now like all Cheh films, the end fight is made up of many fights but the very last one is truly one of the best I have ever seen. LET THE LEGS FLY!!!!!!!!!!!! <
>It seems like it was wire enhanced but I had to watch it a few more times just to fully appreciate this. I don't want to tell you who the last fight is between, but when I mention the legs, it really only points to one guy, right? Well, this other guy was close to this guy. Sorry not to give names, but awesome movie and I can't allow myself to give anything away. And also, Chiang Shiang(little axe) has a great battle with lu feng, but I would be here all day if I broke down all the fights. THEY ARE ALL AWESOME!!!!!! <

>I am reviewing the red sun version, and I have to say that I am not all that happy with this. But I guess that is just casue I have been spoiled. The version seems cut by at least one scene, it is not remastered, but it is widescreened. Not fully widesscreed, but we get a much better view of the action than say a pan and scan job. But if you read my reviews you will see that I LOVE this red sun distributor. I have master killer, five deadly venoms, etc... from them and they are all remasterd, but I just realized this doesn't say remasterd, just widescreed and it costed a few dollars less than their other releases. So at least they always tell the truth and sometimes give you AWESOME extras. <

>All in all, this is a top 2 or 3 cheng cheh movie for me. <
