Duel Of Ultimate Weapons is among the best of the kung-fu films made by Harmony Gold and Saturn Films in the 70s/80s golden era of the genre. The fight scenes may not be wildly acrobatic like you would see in a Jackie Chan movie, but the speed and swagger with which they are executed make them just as awe-inspiring. The ruthless Dong Won is also among the top three coolest villains in cinema history, right up there with Darth Vader and Frank N Furter. The blinding fight scenes are even contained within a reasonably well woven plot - not just a simple "Hey, let's team up and kill" story. Like any kung-fu movie worth it's salt, it naturally features side splitting dialogue that alone make a viewing worth while, and that you find yourself quoting for years afterwards.
