The 7 Grandmasters is indeed one of the best old school Kung Fu movies ever to be made in Hong Kong, in fact this is probably in my top 10 all time best Kung Fu films. Probably the only flaw in this film is by using the same plot over used in 90% of Kung Fu movies…a young man wanting to learn Kung Fu, and learning different styles from different people…who then goes on to avenge a loved one who is killed. For a detailed story line, read the other reviews.

Plot aside though, you can expect top quality fight scenes that you would expect from Corey Yuen (who also appears in the film), and with the incomparable skills of both Jack Lung and Lee Yi Min, this is truly excellent. Like the better Kung Fu movies, this is also very comedy based, which probably helps it from becoming a complete bore, which is where most of these 70’s films went wrong. Another point about the actual filming side of things, this is actually very well filmed, with no ‘off shots’, shaking cameras, poor backgrounds etc. All the right ingredients to make a good film.

As several people have already reviewed this, I get the impression this might still be around on VCD or even on DVD, so if you like old school comedy Kung Fu with plenty of impressive fight scenes, then this is a must.

[4/5]
