The Magic Blade or Pursuit of Vengeance, which is better?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

I chose The Magic Blade, but I rate both very highly. Magic Blade has Pursuit beat in most areas, like the sets, characters, story and fights. But I liked Lo Lieh’s character in Pursuit more than Magic Blade. “Fu Hong Xue, mind your dick”.

I agree. MB is much better IMO.

Easy one Magic Blade is much better.

Pursuit of Vengence tried to do to much, the story was all over the place, and alot of people found the film to be confusing. Prob. a better book than movie.

Wow, a cameo from Jim Kelly (or are you Ron Van Clief? :tongue:). I think both movies are superb, but I agree Pursuit tried to do a bit too much with the story. Pursuit also had more comedy, so I think that might put some people off. But the comedy was well done. Like Lau Wing and Ti Lung pulling on eachothers faces to make sure they weren’t wearing a mask, and Lo Lieh taking a bath in the middle of the street.

I have to go with Pursuit. I like revenge plotted flicks anyway, not to mention i thought the action was better and different than most Chu Yuan. In a review i wrote , i remember thinking this was a Sun Chung flick [because of action] when i first saw it. Also you get 2 of Gu Longs famous heroes in a team up movie. Loved it.

Magic Blade grew on me, Pursuit is slowly doing the same but its really Ti Lung's character that I like, Fu Hung Xue is badazz, love how he Is always one step ahead of the villains. Magic Blade provides a satisfying ending, he defeats Yu and walks away from fame and fortune, a notion he's achieved his destiny. Pursuit felt empty, like a nothing is being accomplished here feeling.
