Customer Reviews of Black Belt Theatre, Vol. 15: Dance of the Drunk Mantis/From China With Death
one of the worst transfers ever FROM CHINA WITH DEATH-bad picture but very watchable. But who is going to watch a movie where wu ma plays the hero. i know that I certainly never will again. <

>DANCE OF THE DRUNKEN MANTIS-I actually like this movie better than drunken master. Not too often you will find a sequel that's better than the original. But you just don't beat the drunken masters fight!! If you can get this for like 3.99 like I did, that's the only way that I can reccommend it. When Hwang has a white backround behind him, you literally can't see him.
Buy the Original Hong Kong Version, if at all possible
The "Black Belt Theater" series often leaves much to be desired. The transfer of Dance of the Drunken Mantis is so bleached out that the subtitles are often unreadable. Whenever the silver-haired Jang Lee appears, most of his face is indiscernable. What a waste of money! The picture quality on From China with Death (which is dubbed) is also horrible, but due to cropping and the dirty, VHS "original" that was used. I have learned my lesson with "Black Belt Theater": I won't buy that title again.
My advice is that you go to a Hong Kong Imports film distributer and try to find ALL your kung-fu films there. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the really good, re-masters of the best martial arts films (per their original HK release version) are Region 3 encoded.
Unwatchable!
I cannot even rate "Dance of the Drunk Mantis" as a film. The subtitles are unreadable and the picture quality is terrible. It made for a baffling viewing experience. It might be worth it if you didn't need the subtitles. Maybe.
