This is a classic martial arts film that i enjoyed very much!. It's very engrossing, and all the performances were fantastic, plus i loved the flashbacks!. The film moves along very nicely, and there is an awesome fight near the end, plus David Carradine is amazing in this!. I loved the scenes with Caine, and The Old blind man, they were engrossing and very interesting, plus it's smart,and intelligent. If your looking for all fight scenes, stay away, but if you want a smart intelligent martial arts film, that moves along nicely with a couple cool fight scenes, good character development and great performances, definitely rent this right away!.The Direction is great!. Jerry Thorpe does a great job here, with good camera work, creating a nice style, and keeping the film at a very fast pace!. The Acting is brilliant!. David Carradine is AMAZING as always, and gives an amazing performance here, he is very likable, great at martial arts as always,was mysterious,had awesome chemistry with Keye Luke and was just brilliant all around! (David Rules!). Barry Sullivan, is decent here and does what he has to do adequately.Keye Luke is great as the old man, i loved him!. Philip Ahn is good here as one of the teachers i liked him. James Hong is great, in his screen time.Radames Pera is very good as a young Caine. Rest of the cast are great. Overall a must see!, i can't wait to buy the Kung TV series!. **** out of 5
