Review of Duel to the Death (1983) by Chuck D — 04 Jan 2007
When I see a kung-fu movie, one thing is on my mind: crazy shit. What do I mean by that? I want to see lots of crazy shit that I have never seen in another kung-fu movie.
[b]Duel to the Death[/b] is filled with so much crazy shit, I was smiling like a moron the whole time.
How many other movies do you know of with kamikaze ninjas that put dynamite on their chest then jump and hug onto someone? Or an entire army of ninjas flying with silent kites, engaging in a giant battle against a single guy?
How many movies have you seen where people spontaneously explode when stabbed? Or where a guy gets his head cut off and the head is impaled on a branch of a tree, then the decapitated head says to the decapitator "You will die!" and then the head blows up.
How many movies have you seen where a guy is about to fall off a cliff, so instead of steadying himself, or perhaps remembering the fact that he can FLY, he stabs his freaking foot to the rocks with his katana.
This movie is freaking amazing. The fight scenes are mind-blowing in their speed and incredibly violent and over-the-top content, and the story is somehow both convoluted and simple.
I have never seen another movie like this, and I loved it so much.
