I'd say the toad is the most powerful fighter. As the kung fu teacher said, the style is nearly invincible. Except that damned weak spot.

I agree, I preferred the toad as well.

San Tien, the Centipede #1. No doubt.

reply

I'd have to go with the snake too that's an awesome style.

reply

The Toad style end of story, its damn near invincible, anything when you can break steel and such.

I like the other styles as well, but the Toad style is by far the greatest.

Lizard

the lizard is my personal favorite cause he seemed to be the only one with any morals. the ability to climb walls was cool too. the toad was awesome and had the best kung fu, being impervious to swords and the ability to break metal (even if it was only bending cookie sheets) is nice to be able to do. he also withstood pain very well, but his weakness for alcohol did him in. i thought he was a little too arrogant too. they definitely took his character from achilles. the snake was the most deadly of them and the scariest. he seemed to be the most cunning and ruthless. the centipede was really quick, but very dumb. the scorpion had some cool kicks, but unfortunately, they didn't show enough of him in the movie. he seemed to be the smartest of the 5, but if he was so smart, why didn't he let the centipede and the snake kill off the lizard first before he revealed himself? if i were him, i also would have gone and followed the map to the treasure right away. he could easily have taken the lizard's assignment of delivering that b.s. message from the judge to the emperor and thus let the lizard stay and take care of toad while he was getting the treasure instead of delivering the message. oh well, great movie otherwise and i love the fight scenes - just wish they were longer and there were more of them. it would have been cool if when the 3 show up at the snakes place and the snake said he wasn't expecting three for the snake to send his servant/bodyguards to fight the three first instead of just calling a huddle and sending them on their way. then maybe we could have seen more of the scorpion in action.

The Toad is my favorite. He's the most sympathetic character as well as the most powerful fighter (if it wasn't for that dadgum* hidden weakness)! Even after he has lost his physical strength, he displays awesome inner strength to thwart the evil judge's tortures. My second favorite would be The Lizard with his amazing wall clinging ability, followed by The Snake, but they are all pretty dang* cool.

Lizard is the favorite and the best martial artist. Lizard is just a cool, good guy, and definately has the most fun technique. A lot of people wrote that toad had the best martial arts but he just had the strongest, not the best. Once his weak spot was found his other martial arts skills proved weak. Snake easily blocked and countered him once he lost his strength. Even when he had his skill he constantly got hit. You have to figure with one of snakes favorite moves being that double ear strike he would have eventually found the weak spot himself. When it came to fighting ability It has to go to either Lizard or Scorpion. Remember Lizard beat up Centipede which allowed him and the last pupil to double team Snake. The last student held his own against Snake but appeard to be slightly losing to Scorpion when Snake attached Scorpion from behind. So only Lizard and Scorpion stood out however slightly. I wish the last student had used some of his other skills since he knew all five. How good was his Toad, Centipede, Snake, and Scorpion style? He obviously mastered the Lizard style after practicing with Lizard. Also the guys that play Lizard and the last pupil are the most athletic. In all the movies this cast is in they are always the acrobats and many times the last survivors. The one time I don't remember them both surviving was when they fought each other in one movie where North Soalin and Soutn Soalin were tricked into fighting each other but were both good.

I crack up everytime i see Lizard standing on the wall, but i like snake, he was really cool.

Hmm, I would have to choose either Lizard or Snake.

The world needs ditch diggers.

reply

The snake diffently! I statred adding his attack to my fighting list hen I saw him use it, even triked my friends into wacthing the "tail" while I strike with the "head". And because of my nails, the "fangs" are best added.

reply

I like the snake, I don't think he is the most cunning,
the scorpion was one up on him.

reply

The centipede was the ultimate badass. He had the coolest style in my opinion.

reply

he definitely acted like a badarse.

he claimed himself to be the leader.

He fought well against Toad.
And didn't get captured until the main character helped.

reply

definately snake, he was fast. but lo mang always kicks ass, so the toad fit him perfectly

reply

Centipede, by far. Very evil!

reply

I would have to say the snake because he's by far the most crazy. His technique is probably he coolest too (does he implode thier internal organs?)
His fists are as deadly as any sword plus i would say he was the most cunning and intelligent of the 5 or 6 if you prefer.

reply


the toad, he's just an all around bad ass. but the sixth venom or the last pupil is a close second. his acrobatics are amazing.

reply

I gotta go with snake. His style was just so swift and deadly. I admit that they made him a little cowardly but I guess he was more of an opprotunist type than the in your face-knuckle up type.
