Who's your favorite Japanese weapons expert?


Awesome movie, the Japanese vs Chinese weapons fights were excellent. The husband vs wife element was played out perfectly, very Mr. and Mrs. Smith but my favorite element are the Japanese Weapons masters.

my favorite would have to be the sai expert with the nose twitch.....classic

that was good but the ninjitsu demonstration at the end had me in awe the hole time, I am a martial artist and I have seen several styles but I had never seen ninjitsu in action since most people have ninjas doing Tae kwon Do or something else since only a handfull of people have had ninjitsu training. Great movie.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Chinese cran versus Japanese crab fist! class

I'll go with the nose-twitching sai master, too. Fantastic fight sequence!

Without a doubt nunchaku and tonfa vs. three sectional staff. Perhaps the best scene in what might be the best of the Shaw bros. movies.

Sai vs. Butterfly swords was good but the Sai expert was just a little too quirky to be taken seriously.

Another vote for the 3-section staff scene.


Oh yes it's Laaarry Holmes/and the feeelin's right/Oh yes it's Laaarry Holmes/what a fight

I really wished they'd made fewer masters but made each fight longer and more challenging for Liu.

The ninjutsu master fight was great, so I'd say he's my favorite. All the other fights had cool moments but they were too brief and easy to be truly engrossed in. I also think that the karate master should've had a more straight forward clenched fist power-style of karate to truly emphasize the contrast between speed and power vs agility and flexibilty rather than the pretty swirly karate he had now that was pretty hard to distinguish from standard Shaw brothers kung fu
