Duel of the Iron Fist

Ok

glad to finally have a copy of movie, but the visual quality of the movie was disappointing

love this classic very much...had 2 tell some friends of mine, they thought ti lung was bruce lee when he was younger and i had 2 school dem fools...just because ur' a nationality , we all suppose 2 look-a-like...go figure?!!

Do not be fooled by the change of title, this is NOT Duel Of The Iron Fist...not entirely.The VHS version of this classic film is called Duel Of The Shaolin Fist, and is edited for TV, minus much of the fight scenes, especially the final one. It's at least in wide screen, which is a plus. It clocks in at 90 minutes.This DVD version clocks in at 98 minutes, but is full screen (meaning that we get to miss the sides of it all, including half their faces, at times). In addition, the ending is once again cut out of the film.When will we be able to get the full-length, uncut version, in glorious wide screen? I doubt that I'll live long enough to see it again.Awful work on this fantastic film. Don't waste your money.

Best karate movie in the world.

Although the movie is decent, the quality of the dvd is not, it has problems with sudden freezes at times, que quality of the picture is below standards and the ending of the movie is cutoff so there's no ending scene. A very dissapointing dvd.

David Chiang is superb in this one. A kung fu expert with a bad cough who must batle the great Lueng at the end of the movie. Lueng who was in John Woo's " A Better Tomorrow". Plays a carefree streetfighter who must do batle with the establishment and of course David Chiang who was brought in to deal with Lueng. The final batle between Chiang and Lueng in the rain at the end is fantastic, very well staged.And the ladies will love the tattoed buterfly on Lueng's chest, a symbol of his love for his lovely lady. I strongly recommend this one. It's a must see.I also recommend David Chiang's "Seven Blows Of The Dragon".And "The Streets Of Hong Kong".

Picture quality very poor.

*This review refers to the version with the green and blue border on the cover*The main reason that I purchased this DVD was because it was cheap, what a mistake! Let me start off by saying that The Duel aka Duel of the Iron Fist is a Shaw Brothers classic, but this disc does the film no favours at all! It clearly states on the cover that this is the remastered and restored version of the film. What you actually get is a full screen VHS transfer which is not only dreadful quality it also cuts off about 50% of the picture due to very poor framing (A Celestial remaster, it most definitely is not). And to top it off it's also on a very cheap DVD-R! I had to send mine back for a refund. Avoid it like the plague, you have been warned!
