The Water Margin (1972)
Reviewed by: Sydneyguy on 2003-10-07
Summary: Feels like a epic, but it isn't!!
The movie itself goes for 2 hours, it felt like i was watching a part of some kung fu mini series.

The movie is almost storyless, with the basic plot if trying to recruit a famous fighter to fight for the "water margins" and that person gets in trouble for harbouring criminals. From their, attempted rescue attempts and a final fight at the end.

A all star cast, with David Chiang taking most of the screen time. Though i have read from another reviewer that he hated David Chiang, well i can see why. They guy looks bad when fighting, his wrestling movies look so fake and his super tumble technique looks like people are rolling on the ground.

Ti Lung, Yuah Hua and Chen Kuan Tai only play very minor roles.

The ending gets to me, because these so called heroes have a 5 on 5 duel yet other "water margin" characters can jump in whenever they want to interfere with the fighting. Honour goes one way it looks like

Overall, a watchable movie, i couldn't stop watching til the end

7/10
