it's not that bad, I just stuck it in the video expecting to just turn it off after a brief view of the tape and I was captivated by it. One stupid thing would come after another, the fighting is only just passable I admit, but the zany comedy helps it out. The fact the English dubbing was very bad didn't matter, at least the character's voices were well defined. The film has quite a strong female character which is nice. The plot is quite simply but goes along at a good pace. I ended up watching the entire movie and was glad I did. I would recommend this film to fans of Hong Kong comedy/kung-fu cinema but don't expect to much from it. 7 Star Grand Mantis gets *******/10 from me. :)
