Description:
From the director of Drunken Master 2, Invincible Pole Fighter and The 36 Chambers of Shaolin!
Confronted with brutal invading hordes during the Boxer Rebellion, heroic Lei Kung is appalled by the senseless slaughter around him. When his dissent puts him in the path of deadly masters who want him silenced, his only chance for survival lies in a secret, powerful arsenal of the most bizarre, deadly weapons ever created by man! This wild, martial arts powerhouse features incredible stuntwork, bizarre plot twists (including hypnotism-controlled fighting!), and an eye-popping climax that has become a towering classic in kung fu cinema.
Nominated for Best Choreography at the 1982 Hong Kong Film Awards!

I only have one complaint: it would not play in my dvd player.
Overall it was good
Rating:  - a unique tale, set during China's Boxer Rebellion
Image's release of Celestial's remastering of this Shaw Brothers' classic should quench the thirst of those who waited for years for a decent version on DVD. This flick makes the top-10 list of a lot of old-school critics. In that capacity I think it's a little overrated, but if you like classic kung fu movies, it's a must-see.

Rating:  - could have been better
the fight scenes are awsome in this movie but it could have been alot better they have some A list actors in this film for it to be dull as it is the plot sucked in a way but the best part of the film was the end the dimestration of the diffrent weapons used.....
Rating:  - Image did it again
When I first saw this awesome movie on Drive-In Movie (channel 5) back in the day I liked it. However, it didn't have those familiar Australian voices, it had these new voices on the dubbing. Many Shaw Brother flicks that were made after 1980 had these different U.K. voices, and they sucked big time. It actually affected the acting negatively. Now, Image Entertainment changed all that. It's like a whole new film.
Along with "Master Killer" this is one of Liu Chia-Liang's (Lau Kar-Leung) ... Read More
Rating: - One of Lau Kar Leung's best movies
While there are at least 5 or 6 Lau films I would put above this, Legendary Weapons is still a wonderful kung fu film. Let's see, we have Lau Kar Leung himself in a starring role, Lau Kar Wing in a spectacular fight with many different weapons, Kara Kui, Hsiou Hou, and Gordon Liu in a great fighting role. The director manages to live up to the title of the movie and manages to top what you may be thinking of it going in. While it is not one of the most exciting movies ever, the last 30 minutes will absolutely ... Read More
