Andy S Oct 4 Classic and entertaining kung fu film. See more 11/26/2019 crazy but good movie See more 05/27/2018 Norman Chui is great in this psychedelic, late Shaw Brothers schlockfest - the silkworm style emerges from the lo-fi sfx cocoon! See more 05/09/2015 This movie starts off pretty normal, but slowly turns into crazy wuxia madness. Constantly talking about fighting moves and styles, this movie could have influenced Kung Fu Hustle (cocoon scene) and Kill Bill Vol. 2 (standing on sword scene). It has some crazy wire-work and a lot of story, but thankfully its entertaining enough, even with its glaring errors. Such as an old master whose magic laser attack conveniently fails when the plot needs to, or how the main hero needs three women to power transfer the magic style of Silkworm, and he just happens to have three women with him. Despite all the craziness, its entertaining and about as weird as Holy Flame of the Martial World. See more 02/10/2015 Where-in we learn that, Wu-Tang is, in fact, something to fuck with. See more 02/02/2014 Lots of fast paced acrobatic combat. The pretty standard plot and trappings begin to wear a bit thin until the unique, outrageous denouement. See more Read all reviews
