Curiosità:

Both the English dubbed and original Chinese versions (not the version on the Hong Kong Universe DVD) feature music scores from other films. The English dubbed versions feature a large number of Denny Zeitlin's music cues from the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, while the original Chinese versions features a large number of Les Baxter's music cues from The Dunwich Horror.

Errori:

Personale o equipaggiamento visibile: When Lewis delivers the final kick to the face of the second of the Wu/Yen brothers, a wire harness for the stuntman can clearly be seen sticking out from the arms of his vest.

Citazioni:

Lewis: Bobby Lo? Could he be Billy Lo's Brother?

tower of death

i first seen this unique flick in 1988 and was impressed especially with the final fight scene with bobby lo and the evil chin ku.they're rivalry transferred into kung fu action made it one of the most impressive fight scenes that i've ever seen.i've seen many kung fu flicks.all of vann damme's,chuck norris'es,and practically all of everybody else's.oh yeah,all of bruce lee's flix at least 10 times apiece.but like i was saying,of all that i've watched,this one has some extreme groundbreaking stuff.i could hardly believe my eyes when i first saw it and upon purchasing it last year i was eager to let my guests check it out for themselves.everyone else that's seen it has been equally impressed,especially with the final fight scene.

the rest of the movie has it's flaws but they actually ironically contridict themselves into some genuine classic unintentional 70's style kung fu humor.(i know the flix from 1981 by the way)

aside from the flaws in acting and plot,this nevertheless stands firm as at least a well done project in the action fighting sense of the term project.yeah.i guess that basically sums it up.it's a bit more of a unique project of action fighting more than it is a genuine action flick.

in conclusion of my point,i give the flick a 10/10in the fighting action department,a 7/10 for it's unintentional humor,and a 3/10 for storyline,acting and plot.that would probably amount to an overall rating of a 6.5/10,i'd say.which means it just barely passes overall.

but once again i emphasize,the fighting mastery is unforgettable and leaves a lasting impact on martial art's enthusiast's and practitioners alike.
