In the spawning era of kung fu movies good ones and bad ones have graced the scene with either yays or boos. Then you have those movies that because of the name or the not so recognized actors that people won't give them a try. I was one of those people before.
Anyway from the bottom of the barrel comes Daggers 8, a not so known kung fu movie with high octane action. As the story goes, our hero wants to learn kung fu (played by Meng Yuan Man). His grandfather is against this, especially since Mengs' brother is brought to the house dead from an azzwhooping. Meng refuses to stop training and leaves home to learn more kung fu.
He runs in to 3 different masters who takes him in as a student, but the bad part is that they all wind-up being killed by a master of Daggers (played by Wilson Tong). As each master is killed Meng finds another one. He finally comes home only to find out that his grandfather is the one that hired the killer to stop him from being taught. The same killer kills gramps which leads to an all out fight fest.
This movie is hidden and should be dug up and placed in every kung fu fans' collection. There is no way this movie cannot compete with some of the other good ones out there. If you do not see this you are cheating yourself BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
