Bad hair day
Some people didn't like this movie for various reasons; too much wire work, confusing plot, etc. Personally, I didn't like the wigs some of the guys were wearing and I understood the plot only in broad general terrms, but I still have to give this movie 5 stars, even if it sometimes did feel more like The Lord of the Rings instead of Hong Kong Cinema. As for too much wire work or not, the fights were still great and you didn't have to wait long to see one. And as for the wire work itself...without it, we'd be back to the seventies Shaw Brothers Kung Fu theatre formulas, and while some of that stuff was pretty good, it was still one dimensional and got to be fairly monotonous after a while. Hell, even the Cantonese got tired of it. And without innovation, stagnation sets in. As for the characters...admittedly, Jet Li did look like a Chinese Luke Skywalker in his all white costume in the last fight scene, but as always his moves were a fine combination of fluidity and force, like a combination of Mikhail Barishnakov and Bruce Lee. It's always a pleasure to watch him, even if the movie you're watching him in isn't that good. Chigmy Lau (sp?) as always looked good (although her hair style made it look like she had jug handles on her head), and Tsui Kam-Kong looked unusual only because he had his clothes on (He often shows up in the softcore porn of HKC, like the Sex and Zen series and Erotic Ghost Story). And of course, last but never least, I liked Sammo's sometimes grouchy, sometimes affable, always lethal Chang Sang-Feng (FYI, in case you don't know, the same character Jet Li played in Tai Chi Master, and the Taoist monk who supposedly created T'ai Chi). His on the spot T'ai Chi/Wu Dang lesson to Jet Li at the end was both entertaining and probably the best description of T'ai chi I've ever heard in a movie; "without form, beginning or end, forget all your forms", or words to that effect. When the script allows him, Sammo can really make himself stand out on the screen. So, all in all, Kung Fu Cult Master is definately worth seeing, bizzare hairstyles or not.

Wonderful Fantasy, but get the Original Version!!!!!
Ok first off, all of you who are buying this silly Lord of the Wutang title are getting the cover up bootleg of the original movie which is The Kung Fu Colt Master (or Kung Fu Master here in US). Don't get the Lord of the Wutang version for the sound and picture really suck, and the distributors are known for cutting stuff too. With that aside, let me just say that this is one of the very few hk fantasy films that I own, and yet its one of my favorite movies. The story is basically about 2 swords that make the users superpowerful, and there are several kung fu schools looking and fighting for it. Jet represents one of these schools and througout the film, he masters several martial art techniques at an interestingly fast pace. He needs to protect his great grandfather, who happens to know where the swords are, from the corrupt schools. Warning, this is no Fist of Legend, but the martial arts are quite decent in my opinion. Yes, there is flying and superhuman powers in this film, but it actually makes it fun, not like dumb movies like the Storm Riders (this movie is too much). Plus, the film is extremely hilarious, especially the scene where Jet gets stuck in a cave. There are also 2 extremely beautiful women in this film that just made me go gaga. Watch it and find out what I mean. I'd totally recommend a buy tho, but like I said get the original Kung Fu Colt Master. I got the HK version which is presented in 5.1 dolby, and the picture is pretty clear as well. I can't say much for the World Video US release version, except that the cover looks really crappy. However, I've heard the transfer is pretty good and it has an english dub as well. But original Chinese w/ subs is the way to go for me. So go check this one out, and if you like it, try Swordsman II(w/Jet also)...check out my other reviews too, mostly HK flicks. Hope this was helpful.

Buy Kung Fu Colt Master
while i havent seen this movie, its the same as Kung Fu Colt Master. to my understanding, this version has been all chopped up and the quality is low. so speaking for the orginal, its great, it kinda reminded me of HERO, not as good of course but still like it. just without the millions invested in HERO.
if u like Hero, Storm Riders, & Iron Monkey, buy it. i'd consider this to be the first fantasy fu flick!
remember, get the ORGINAL, and that goes for ASIAN FLICKS. one word for you. EBAY !
