bizarre and campy movie

Now, in all honesty, I gave this movie 4 out of 10 stars because of the sheer camp factor and absurdity of this movie. I've seen many martial arts movies of questionable taste and unthinkable content, but this one sets a bar or two. Fight scenes are surprisingly cool and the costumes and makeup are just too funny, almost like they tried to make it look as hilarious as possible. Excuse my vagueness on this movie, but you have to see it to really understand how I feel about it. Think Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon on crack - honestly, it's that weird. In another note, it is also the first time I have ever seen a Chinese Hulk. Get this movie.

This is by far the very worst movie I have ever watched more than once!

This is by far the very worst movie I have ever watched more than once. From the cheesey editing, silly sound effects, flying people, all the way through the "borrowed" music from Flash Gordon you have to keep watching (like train wreck) to see what will happen next. This film is so bad that it can wrap back around to good with a few friends and a few drinks.

The martial arts action is outrageous but enjoyable. The poorly translated dialog borders on MST3K material by itself.

If you like stupid chop-suey flicks, this is the king.

I had to give it a 5, right in the middle. Is it so bad it's good or so good it is bad?

Amazing Piece of Asian Cinema

Calling this Asian cinema is an insult to every country in Asia that wasn't responsible for this piece of garbage. It's so bad that it's entertaining.

You can't only tell scenes they reused backgrounds and footage, you can tell scenes they reused film. I bought the DVD of this movie because I had to see whether the transparent count-down 8 in the background was just bad VCR tape; it wasn't. The "purple jade badger" is the worst name for an idol ever; is jade even purple? I thought it was green.

As another poster put it, it's like watching a train wreck. Myself and a few friends watched it while we were drunk, it was a hilarious night. Surprisingly, we found it at a Jumbo Video on VHS. I do really recommend it if you like bad movies.

The Most Horrifying Phony Violence I've Ever Seen!!!

This movie, nay, FILM, is nothing short of a masterpiece! Roc Tien literally throws the viewer in medias res, and the action is relentless! The action is so spectacular it defies the laws of psychics! The denouement of Shaolin Fox Conspiracy (brilliant title!) would make Kurosawa green with jealousy. Some guy drinks some kind of elixir (Purple Jade Badger?), turns blue and starts running amok and killing indiscriminately anyone who opposes him. In a scene that will leave you speechless, the blue guy actually breaks someone in two! My God, I'm still having nightmares! Forget The Matrix, see this work of genius at once!!!!

Call it love, call it invincibility . . . call it Badger: Purple Jade.

Tien crafts a strangely enjoyable web of utter and absolute confusion out of numerous flying samurai, an elixir called "The Purple Jade Badger" that makes it's consumer invincible (except in respect to things that can kill you), a lady samurai described as a "horrible nymphomaniac", and a wedding that never takes place. Bizarre and dumbfounding; therefore wonderful.
