a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Silly and funny movie with lots of good fun. The burning chicken and a image of a certain drunken master at an altar is a few of the highlights.

This film has some cheesy fights, cheesy effects, cheesy characters and everything that a fan of cheese cinema wants to see in a film! The story is about a man whose wife has been killed by the local emperor and he is sentenced to death. Therefore, in order to flee he kindaps the emperor's son and flees with him. On the way, the emperor's son is killed accidentally, and the man who is chased by the emperor's soldiers gives his nephew a medal that had belonged to the emperor's son before he was killed. Later on, the bad guys appear and everything becomes so cheesy that you won't stop laughing! On the top of that, there are many wine bottles flying around! Bottom line : I recommend that you watch this cheesy film if you are in favour of this genre! 7/10

Shamed Royel Guardsman Kao after seeing his wife executed steals the young prince in order to flee safely from the Emporer's castle. After he's safe away on the beach he find's out that he inadvertently killed the young prince. so he takes the medallion and gives it to his nephew for safe keeping. This is where the real wackiness ensues. And wacky is the correct word. Bat-fu, 'faux' midget-fu, the Jar boy/girl, igniting chicken, and much more assault the senses. I liked this film a lot, and enjoyed many of Woo-Ping Yuen's other films as well. I eagerly await how he handles the Marvel comics based "The Hands of Shang-Chi" My Grade: B+ DVD Extras: Theatrical Trailer; Trailers for "Xian dai hao xia zhuan" (Executioners), "Lei ting sao xue" (Red Shield), and "Tie xue qi jing" (Road Warriors)

Not really an outstanding piece. Some of the fights are really fun and inventive, particularly the Jar Man, and the pseudo-midget fu. Sunny Yuen plays the heavy as usual. His Sorcerer Bat character has some good moves, and comes off as a more intelligent and controlled version of his villain in Taoism Drunkard. The final sorcerer's competition is mighty goofy and entertaining, and there's less reliance than usual on the crossed-eyes, big fake mole brand of humor. Still, Taoism Drunkard is much wackier, and Dreadnaught is much more coherent, as well as having better fighting. Worth seeing if you like the Yuen Bros, or bizarro cinema in general.
