L'invincible bagarreur

The protection gang warms up by beating the street merchants. Then they accuse a man of being a follower of some general and they fight. Our man wins. He is informed about some treasure and a man is coming to help him assist the general. Some new guy arrives and fights his way to the head of the protection gang. He is hired to assassinate the general's man. He easily kills the man.

Unfortunately it doesn't end right there. Elton Chong is the lead actor as the man's son and he says "I know what to do." Instead of finding out what that is the next few scenes involve a hungry old guy trying to get some food. Mike Wong Lung then shows his skills by beating up the protection gang. Then he becomes a fortune teller. Then Elton is back and what follows is a gambling sequence. It is just sequence after sequence of random stuff with scant coherence. At this point the viewer can only hope the fights make it worthwhile. Though the fights have good power and focus they quickly become the same thing over and over again.

I am amazed by the number of reviews here for this movie. It seems at least ten people have actually watched this and that is about ten too many. Plus the only existing copy, even if bought on DVD, is just a VHS recording of a television broadcast.

I watched this once and I will never watch it again. I rate it way below average for the year and genre.

How do you rate a movie like this? Was I totally engrossed, with nail-biting tension? No. Was I dumbfounded? Yes. Looking at the 'cinema' of this movie, this doesn't deserve a 1. But, looking at it from the bad kung-fu fan perspective, it is a classic. Horrible acting, implausible action, schizophrenic editing, and dialog that makes you wonder if the over-dub actors actually had a script or were improvising. This is to kung-fu movies as Ator is to bad barbarian films: a pinnacle of the worst. For a fun evening, I highly recommend.

INVINCIBLE OBSESSED FIGHTER is your run of the mill kung fu film for the most part, with the odd addition of some cult and wacky elements to the plot which makes it stand out a little from the crowd. Sadly it's so cheap and slapdash overall that it's a film that's difficult to enjoy, which is no surprise given that Tomas Tang directs under a pseudonym.

The story is about the usual hunt for stolen treasure and there's plenty of low rent action to help the running time fly past. The film seems to have been shot or produced in South Korea like so many IFD films and it stars the infamously-named Elton Chong to boot. Sadly, INVINCIBLE OBSESSED FIGHTER is constrained by a very low budget and not very good fight scenes, which is a bit of a problem when there are so many of them. An interlude involving a crazy maggot-eating priest and his army of the dead is a highlight, as are the lowbrow cross-dressing antics of some of the cast.

I looove really bad kung-fu movies, and up to this day, this is the most gut-bustlingly hilarious one I've seen. The fact that one of the characters is named "Fat Ho" alone makes it pure genius. In this movie, you get terrible dubbing, a storyline that barely makes sense, and some actually not bad fight sequences. The wire work is especially cartoony however, which only makes everything better, since its less like 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', and more like one of those looney tunes cartoons where they run off a cliff and don't plummet to their death until they actually notice they ran off the cliff. Anyways, see this movie now!

The voice actors are trolling their asses off and its insanely funny. Action packed (there's a great , high-quality fight every 3 minutes), great choreography, great old fashion Kung-fu mayhem. Get your freinds, get your intoxicants and just chill. This movie is made for week-ends. I loved it.
