Kung Fu gorillas is not the weirdest thing you will see.
1 October 2020
The movie starts with the helpful narrator explaining the story of two girls who are out for revenge against the emperor. Our girls kill a few minor officials on their way up to assassinate the emperor. The girls are assisted in their quest by timely appearances of Carter Wong and Dorian Tan. All the fights are creative, well-choreographed and executed.

My copy is a digital file that plays on a HDTV in the same size and format of an old VHS tape. The dialog is dubbed English and the voices are not at all annoying. I have never come across a better copy.

Fans of martial arts movies of the golden age are likely the only people watching this nowadays. If you never watched this before, it starts with a fizzle. But hang in there until the "kung fu gorillas" appear. Believe it or not, that was not the most ridiculous scene in this movie.

I have to give the makers of this movie credit for trying to do something different. At this time in history martial arts movies like this were being made daily it seemed and they all looked similar. Nothing here reaches the creative level of the Yuen Clan in 1982 "The Miracle Fighters" but at least they tried.
