Tian cai gong fu

I don't want to get carried away, but KUNG FU GENIUS has to be my absolute FAVORITE kung fu movie of all time. Even were it not for the crisp, invigorating, and off-the-wall fight scenes, the non-intelligence-insulting plot, the slick badass main character, his very amusing whiny bitch of a sidekick, and the drunken monkey AND the duck method, even were it not for ALL those things, I would STILL adore KUNG FU GENIUS, for one reason and one reason only: Supporting Character Gets Kicked In The b***s, Subsequently Begins Acting Like A Robot. You just can't beat that, I tell you.

The movie starts with Cliff Lok showing off for his student Cheng Kang-Yeh. But when no one can beat you and you can master every style is it showing off? It is too soon to be serious so the movie has a lot of fun first. Many are offended by the new guy in town who dares to open up a new kung fu school and many challengers come. Cliff defeats them all.

Real kung fu has animal styles then these movies came along and added many more. I tried to make a list once but lost track. Let's just say that these movies came up with a kung fu style for pretty much every living thing. Plus a hierarchy was invented: monkey beats snake and drunken beats monkey and so on. Styles were invented just for comedic effect. In this movie we have reached peak style and it is time to get back to the spirit of martial arts.

If you get this movie (and most people do not) you will feel the spirit of Bruce Lee in the final fight. Cliff Lok and Wilson Tong achieved in this movie what Bruce Lee intended to do with The Game of Death plus they made a comedy out of it. A true kung fu genius, like Bruce Lee, is like water – adapts and overcomes. This movie is non-stop fights. It is all about the martial arts, there is no other plot. It has comedy. Back to the non-stop fights – every fight is unique, nothing is repeated. I consider it one of the best ever and rate it nine out of ten.

If you're a Cliff Lok can like I am,see this movie. Cliff is the Kung Fu genius - he's able to copy anyone's style of Kung Fu after seeing them fight, thus gaining the ability to whoop their asses.

With a doofy sidekick,he opens a Kung Fu school and that's when the trouble starts. With a simple,basic plot that's understandable, this is one of the better martial arts movies out there. Plenty of fighting that's pretty good, a story a six year old can understand, Cliff Lok, AND Lee Hoi San, you can't go wrong. Grab a beer or three and watch with friends.

This is a pretty standard chop socky flick for most of the movie. Actually it's meant to be a spoof of kung fu movies. There's lots of action all the way through and well choreographed fight scenes. But if there's one reason to see this virtually unknown title it's to see the Charles Bronson look-a-like guy as the teacher of all methods of Kung Fu. Towards the end he breaks out the Duck Method. The Duck Method is by far one of the most hilarious scenes you will ever behold no matter how many movies you see.
