I went to Dollar General today because I found out the one in Abbeville had 2/$5.00 kung-fu films on DVD. They had some great stuff ... but as with most kung-fu films, you really gotta know what you're looking for in order to tell the good stuff from the crap.
Below are the four films I purchased:
1. Eagle Vs. Silver Fox
2. Shaolin Against Lama
3. Snake Deadly Act
4. World Of Drunken Master
Now, below are the descriptions of the films from the back of the DVD boxes (minus some occasional easily identifiable factors, like names or fighting styles that figure in the title). Can you match title to plot?
A. Young brothers Li I Min and Jack Long get caught stealing grapes one day and are put to work at the owner's winery. He also teaches them [kung fu]. When the lads put their skills to use, trouble follows. The local warlord gathers his boys and goes after the [...] duo. The ensuing mayhem defies description.
B. Kwok Chung is a righteous rich kid whose hobby is to fight and brawl. One encounter nearly gets him killed, but he is saved by Yue Yi. Yue befriends and teaches Kwok the deadly art of [kung fu]. But Kwok soon realizes that [...] he's being set up by his teacher, and his family is also targeted for murder! The treachery runs deep, as Kwok & Yue have a [...] showdown to end them all!
C. The red cloth [villains] are on the attack, so [the heroes] send a young boxer to Tibet to learn [...] kung fu and seek advice[.] Massive battles ensue as martial chaos strikes the region. More manic fighting styles from the Robert Tai asylum of martial arts!
D. After the downfall of the Manchu dynasty, the surviving officials plan to restore order across China. One of these men [...] hires the best fighters in the country to assassinate those who were responsible for the revolution and destroy all martial arts schools. To combat this menace, the various schools band together and nominate Chow Fung, master of [kung fu], to face the might of the [villain] in a one-on-one bone-breaking showdown.
