Buddha's Palm (1982)
Reviewed by: magic-8 on 2003-05-27
Summary: Excellent Cheese-Fest
"Buddha's Palm" is a fun-filled, zany, madcap movie that is visually exciting to watch. Taylor Wong's film contains some of the quickest and sharpest editing of its day, with the editing of action scenes rivaling anything you'll witness today in music video slam-bang styling. Some of the quirky things you'd see in "Kung fu Cult Master," "The Magic Crane," or "Green Snake" are presented in this fantastically convoluted tale of fantasy, magic, revenge, and martial arts. The computer graphic imaging (CGI) of 1982 is obviously not up to the standards we have today, but they are more than adequate for this cheese-fest. The film moves so fast that you won't have time to ponder the effects, the script, or the plot holes. Park your brain, relax and take a load off when viewing this preciously dazzling entertainment.
