“The Invincible Fist” is a Shaw Brothers classic martial arts wuxia movie from 1969 directed by Chang Cheh and starring Lo Lieh and David Chiang. “The Invincible Fist” was recently released on Blu-ray from Shout Factory as part of their Shaw Brothers Classic Collection Volume 1.
Starring the talented Lo Lieh as Master Tie, David Chiang as Tieh Erh-lang, Ku Feng as Crippled Peng, and Mien Fang as the villainous Ma Wai-Jia, “The Invincible Fist” delivers a highly entertaining and stylized martial arts experience. The film offers an array of inventive weapons, surprises, and even a touch of romance.
Viewers of “The Invincible Fist” can expect an impressive display of stylized action sequences, showcasing the skills of the cast. Additionally, the presence of fun hidden weapons adds an element of intrigue and excitement to the narrative.
While “The Invincible Fist” excels in many aspects, some cons were noted. The repetition of hiding in tall grass scenes may have been excessive for my taste. Additionally, a few instances of Deus Ex Machina scenes featuring David Chiang’s character rescuing Lo Lieh happened.
