Audience Member One star for te Kung Fu Scence, but the whole rest of that pseud western is just boring. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member (54%) A film that shows "good" old boy cowboys in maybe the worst light possible as nearly every person featured bar a few Mexican characters are portrayed as huge and total b#stards. The guy that carts main character Joe to Texas is a git, the barman he meets is a turd, while everyone else is if anything even worse. This may not look up to much on the outset, but for a lowish budgeted 70's martial arts spaghetti western hybrid I enjoyed its simple charm. This is a little rough around the edges, though it moves along at a good pace with never really a dull moment throughout. There's plenty of fights, lots bad guys getting what they deserve, a sweet romantic sub-plot, and best of all: it's fun to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Shanghai Joe is the biggest Kick-ass chinaman in the spaghetti genre--So much fun it should be illegal!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Joe is by far the biggest trouble magnet I have ever seen. Very entertaining. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Good mix of kung fu and western. The moral of the story is: everyone in the wild west immediately hates Asians. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 121101: Fantastic! What a romp. I'm assuming that I'm just extremely biased when it comes to westerns. I found this film fun. Martial arts infused spaghetti western. Per the description above this film has scenes of extreme violence but they're great if you don't take the film too seriously. If you take this film seriously, then you need to loosen up. This is spaghetti at it's best and if you're a martial arts fan than even better. There is some seriously racist commentary included in this film so be warned. I didn't even know Shanghai Joe's name until near the end of the film. Everyone just calls him "the chink". These films, spaghetti westerns, were made in a different time but many of them were a blast. I love Joe's scream as he attacks. I loved the eye gouge. I loved the villains. Just plain fun. One question, is this part of a series? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
