Thats absurd!!!!!!!

[ironfistedmonk]

Whats the most absurd, crazy and damn right ridiculous thing you've ever seen in a kung fu movie?

I just finished watching Kung Fu Arts with Carter Wong and that has IMO the stupidest most dumb ass plot point in the history of kung fu cinema, if you haven't seen the film and don't want this masterpiece ruined then stop reading now.

The basic plot is sound, it's the usual overthrow the Emperor stuff but they have added a big twist to it which only someone taking some hard medication could have come up with. In an assassination attempt the Emperors daughter is hit with a poisoned dart which none of the court doctors can cure so a royal decree is issued that anyone who can cure the princess can have her hand in marriage. So what do they come up with to save the fair maiden, a handsome young doctor or a passing scholar? nope, some really ugly fat dude? nope, Au Lap Bo? guess again, it's Sida the French Monkey Star!!!!!!! Yes you read right, a fookin chimp has the cure for the poison:eek:

Of course now the Emperor can't break his promise and so he marries his daughter off to this chimp, that is not a good look, imagine doing the shopping with your spouse on your arm, or on your shoulder in this case lol I can imagine the embarrassment lol Not only that he sets them adrift in a boat to fend for themselves, so now the daughter must be thinking what did I do to deserve this! My dad saves my life only to marry me off to a monkey and then kicks me out the house! nope thats not whats going on in her head, she's thinking lets start a family! So yes they miraculously conceive a child (is that even possible lol) which looks remarkably human fortunately, I couldn't take another kung fu Gorilla movie lol

So thats how I've started my Saturday morning, can anyone else top this one for sheer ludicrousness?

Well, it's not a classic movie, but I'll have to mention Swordsman 3 - The east is red.
I remember Swordsman 2 as being a bit more absurd than the first, but I liked it nevertheless. This movie though, was just plain crazy. I was really disappointed too since the amount of swordplay was near equal to zero, and it just got weirder and weirder. Everything from the bald white crossdresser to the midget disguised as a japanese warlord got me sitting there thinking "WHAT-THE-HEEELL?!"

[peringaten]

I'm sorry IFM, but that sounds like the greatest plotting I've ever heard of. Moving this to the top of the must-get list, and I mean very top. Any spec info on versions going?

[peringaten]

Also, how did I not know about this until now? You people have failed me. Badly.

[Morgoth]

Also, how did I not know about this until now? You people have failed me. Badly.

Every kung fu junkie should own the 50 pack. Its not our fault:D



Choi Wang's cripppled style he uses in Ninja Supremo has to be the craziest damn thing I have ever seen.

I Need This.

[ironfistedmonk]

I should have known you'd dig something like this Peri :rolleyes:

It's not a great film TBH mate, I wouldn't recommend it even to you lol

No clue what version it is, I got it in a trade and it has no menu

[Chinatown Kid]

If you want to see absurd, look no further than the movie The Dragon Lives Again starring Bruce Liang along with his buddies Clint Eastwood, Dracula, James Bond and the Exorcist. That one about takes the cake......:rolleyes:

[ironfistedmonk]

Yeah Dragon Lives Again is pretty mental but it's meant to be set in the afterlife or something like that which gives them carte blanche to be wacky, Kung Fu Arts is played totally straight which makes it completely bonkers in my eye

[Chinatown Kid]

Yeah I see your point, if they try to play it serious it makes it even worse. How about those Kung Fu fighting Gorillas in Bruce Li: The Invincible and I believe there was one in Bruce Li in New Guenia, now that was pretty damn ridiculous! :eek:

[Endsang]

I vaguely remember a movie where Chin Siu-Ho fights a kangaroo. Anyone seen it or know the name?

[will91XingYu]

That films called Killer's Nocturn and it also stars Chris Lee (Nine Demons), i though Billy Chong fighting Dracula in Kung fu From Beyond the Grave was pretty wierd.

[Drunken Monk]

I watched "My Young Auntie" for the first time last night and the dance numbers in the middle of the film are just insane. Gordon Liu in a blonde, curly wig?

[AlbertV]

I think this was the most ridiculous:

Cheetah on Fire - First, Gordon Liu with curly hair and his character having been shot, has sex with a hooker while his cohort is trying to pry the bullet out of his shoulder at the same time!!!

[Hermeskungfu]

What about Fantasy Mission Force that is pretty damn weird and plot - what plot!

The first fight in Shaolin Chastity Kung Fu is Alexander Lou versus Cow / Bull - he wins!

[NoNiceTime]

Must abusrd kf movie I've ever seen was Shaolin Drunkard by far. Blood sucking monster being help at shaolin temple.
