Lighten up, if you found this page, or this film, then you know what to expect from Invincible Super Chan and films like it. No one wanders into a video store expecting Citizen Kane II from this kind of film.
But if you expect outrageously silly kung-fu action along with nonsense dialogue and awful dubbing, than this is a movie for you. This is the kind of movie that you rent on a night with nothing to do, drink some beers, and laugh yourself silly as you watch ISC (as you will learn to refer to him) fly over mountains and generally whoop the bad dudes.
Fun film

Its so bad its good. Recommend you watch it with friends and/ or adult beverages. Bad acting. Bad filming. Bad plot. Bad script. Bad effects. its truly one for the record books.Its so bad its good.
It follows a vengeful fighter who swares revenge on his teachers killer. once he kills him he is conciderd the greatest figher of all, therefore he is challenged by others till his family is attacked and he is forced to fight what seems to be his final fight. The death toll is sky high with Chan killing about 100 men in one battle. But besides the over all slaughter, the martial arts seemed slow, and there were no fancy techniques or shapes, it just seemed like a bunch of angry drunk guys kicking and punching. It's worth watching just to say you saw it, but i don't think it's classic material. then again, it may be what your lookin for, all you can do is watch:)

This movie have it all. Bad editing. Bad acting. Bad fighting scenes.
Actually I cannot find one redeeming feature about this movie.It is not even short to spare the pain.
I am not an expert in so bad it is good movies. But this one I just found trashy in the boring way. Where in many of these Asian fighting movies they are extremely "powerful" this guy is nearly like superman. Maybe you can enjoy that.I did not.
Saw this on VHS years ago (from the Wu Tang Collection) and laughed until I cried watching it. Rewatching in 2025 and it's still just as hilarious. Epic in scope and very silly but played straight. The editing is incoherent which makes for outrageous slapstick moments. Act 2 is one extended fight scene that keeps going and going and going. Having seen a ton of Kung Fu flicks, nothing has ever topped this one for sheer enjoyment. Scrappy low-budget Taiwanese Wuxia that is pure entertainment. Unintentionally funnier than any of the kung fu spoofs like Kung Pow. Should be way more famous than it is.
If my martial arts teacher died because he was unable to defend himself in a fight I would reconsider my own abilities and find a new and much better teacher. That's why they never made one of these movies about me.
There are two easy ways to make a bad movie worse. First is failing to get to the point. Chan could have had his revenge in the first scene yet the movie goes on and on introducing new reasons to delay the duel. Second is to take a poorly executed fight sequence and chop it up to make it jerky and missing frames. This happened as a result of the need to placate censorship for violence in different countries. Also two effects need to be avoided. If a sword through the chest needs to be shown then putting the sword in the actor's armpit doesn't fool anybody. And cutting a person in half, top down, always looks stupid.
The only good thing I found was that the lead actor, David Tang Wei, though obviously not a martial artist seemed to do all of the action sequences without a stunt double. Some sequences were quite long without a cut but that was misleading because though long there were few actual moves.
For me this was a watch it once, write a review, never watch it again experience.
