Review of Circle of Iron (1978) by Jack — 23 Aug 2010
Often hilarious (unintentional, I think) martial arts film starring David Carradine as a blind spiritual guide (and a few other characters) who helps Cord the Seeker on his quest to find the Book of All Knowledge that lies in the hands of Zetan the Wizard.
The story was from Bruce Lee (who intended to star in it before he died) and James Coburn(!) and itâ??s pretty hilarious. Itâ??s a typical 60s/70s kung fu movie with a lot of crazy location and fights.
Killer monkeys, dickless men in tubs of oil, Roddy McDowall, martial artists with awesome mullets, Buddhist KKK members, this filmâ??s got it all. The crazy thing is, supposedly this film is being remade soon.
Maybe Eli Wallach and Christopher Lee could play the same roles, that would be priceless.
