Now that we got past that instructional lesson, up douche bags? I have another film that you guys should check out. This film is a little bit older than yesterday’s Ip Man, but it is bad ass all the same. This film is called Duel to the Death, it is another Chinese flick that is roughly about a large martial arts tournament that takes place every 10 years or something with fighters from all over Asia. As can be expected the Japanese send their best samurai to the fight and the best Chinese monk gets sent as well. That is when shit gets fucked up. People are trying to steal scrolls, fighters are getting kidnapped, cats and dogs sleeping together, just a total cluster fuck.
Like the previous film I talked about I’m not going to ruin it for you but let’s just say this film has everything an 80’s martial arts film should have in it. There are ninjas, flying ninjas, ninjas that share characteristics with Tremors (or graboids whichever you prefer), exploding ninjas, naked ninjas, and violence. This movie is less about hand to hand combat than it is about sword to limb combat. I’m telling you that enough people lose various limbs that they could of probably built some sort of, giant ninja from the parts that explodes into a bunch of ninjas.....
OH WAIT, THEY HAVE THAT SHIT!
If you don’t see this movie, you are a wanker. Yeah the story is a little discombobulated, yeah the dubbing is hilarious, and yeah some shit that happens doesn’t make any sense. But, it’s still awesome in how absurd it is. So check this one out for sure, I’ll leave you with the trailer for the film so you can make your decision (even though you should have been sold at exploding ninjas).
