Lao shu la gui

Kung Fu vs Yoga is generally a typical martial arts movie--lots of fighting, poor dialogue, and unintentional humor. The earthenware monk is played by a hilarious overactor ("You're going to die! You're go-ing to die!!!"). The ending vs the Yoga master is pretty good, too, but a lot of the movie consists of incredibly long fighting scenes. Make sure to get the version hosted by Rudy Ray Moore, and "Bow down. Bow down. Bow down!" before Dolemite's humor.

Most people will be bored by the fighting, or utterly repulsed by the second quest's fight, but if you can get through these, get this movie.

Friendly martial arts rivals Tiger (Chin Yuet Sang) and Wu Shing (Alan Chui) leave home and head to town where they find work with Tiger's uncle in his pottery shop. Tiger takes time out from stacking pots to compete in a kung fu competition, which he wins, only to learn that the prize is the hand in marriage of Ting (Michelle Yim), daughter of the wealthiest man in town.

On his wedding night, Tiger is keen to consummate the marriage, but Ting, not as happy with the arrangement (Tiger's not blessed in the looks department), orders her husband to bring her three gifts before anything happens in the bedroom. First, he must get hold of a kung fu manual guarded by a mad monk (San Kuai) in his temple. Next, he must secure the jade buttons worn by a transvestite whore (Fung Hak On) at a local brothel. Lastly, he must bring home a ruby worn by an Indian yoga master (Dunpar Singh). With the monk, the whore, and the yogi all adept at martial arts, the three tasks prove exceptionally challenging.

Comedy martial arts film Kung Fu vs Yoga features one of the most jaw-droppingly bizarre fight scenes I have ever witnessed: Tiger versus the yogi, whose body contorts in ways that don't seem humanly possible. As Tiger, aided by Wu Shing, attempt to incapacitate the bendy man using poles with ropes, the flexible Indian simply squirms his way out, his limbs and torso twisting in ways that need to be seen to be believed. While this is undoubtedly the film's highlight, the numerous other fight scenes are also very impressive, with the actors performing all manner of well-choreographed acrobatic moves. As a comedy, the film is bit more hit and miss, but its far from the worst of its kind, the rather puerile humour made more bearable by the likeable characters.

7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

Kung Fu vs Yoga is another one of hong kong cinema's hidden gems. On the surface, it is poorly conceived, strangely acted, and badly dubbed, but the action well makes up for that. The characters are unique and original, leading up to the final battle with Singh at the end, which is one of the most unique fights in HK cinema history. Singh's otherworldly flexibility is worked into the battle, which lasts about 15 minutes in 3 segments. No one has ever attempted this, nor will any ever succeed at topping this. Truly unique in all aspects, Kungfu VS Yoga is worth seeing.

Well worth a viewing just for the Yoga master in the last fifteen minutes. Dubbing's a bit of a nightmare but very funny.

This old school late 70's Kung Fu flick needs to b watched by fans of the genre for sure!!!! How the double hockey stick ( and yes that term hasn't been used in awhile) does that Indian dude in the last few action scenes do that stuff....wasn't't even special effects back then. "Kung Fu vs. Yoga" more like Kung Fu vs. circus "freak" contortionist. I been to Barnums and Baileys circus in the 80's n still didn't see That kind of limb manipulation. One of my favorite scenes is still the tag team against the Transvestite and i swear on my son it's not what it sounds like. Amazing fight choreography. I know this is not the best review for a film but just what i have said should be enough for any fan of the old school kung fu films to check it out....all i have hinted at is true but trust me check it out and u will understand. I scored my copy cheap in a clearance section at my local F.Y.E here in NH...but i surely would have paid more if i knew what i found n u should too if u lucky enough to come across it!!
