Magnificent Butcher vs Knockabout

[DeathFuMaster]

Which movie should I get, Im torn between the two and can only afford to get one right now. So which should I get first?

[shaolin drunkard]

Butcher...

[TibetanWhiteCrane]

Butcher, no contest!

[peringaten]

Yuen Mo's monkey pole in Butcher is one of the best things what I ever done seen in one of thems fighting flicks. Mind is blown.

[chen lung]

'Knockabout' has great acrobatic action, but I otherwise, did not like it.

I'd choose 'Butcher'.

[Markgway]

Both are good, but perhaps BUTCHER is better.

Yuen Mo is underrated, at least in my opinion.

I like both films, but I'd choose Magnificent Butcher.

[northern b]

Butcher every time! Some mind bending action in this one!

[thehangman]

Butcher for sure

[butcher wing]

butcher, it non stop fighting

[kungfusamurai]

MB is definitely the better movie between the two. Knockabout is still a great movie, but that's one you should get after you've checked out Sammo's other projects like Spooky Encounters, Dreadnaught, Prodigal Son, Warrior's Two, etc...

Then again, since it's not as good as the aforementioned flicks, maybe you should get Knockabout first! It's not a bad film, but it doesn't rank highly when pitted against those other Sammo flicks.

I'd pick MB too, because the fighting is more even throughout. But, the last half hour or so in Knockabout kicks Magnificient Butcher's ass...

Dreadnaught is Yuen Woo Ping... And I guess it's a matter of taste, but imo Knockabout is far superior to Spooky encounters, and Dreadnaught while we're on it. The last part of Knockabout is Yuen Biao's finest hour.

I really like them both, I'd have to agree and say Bucther first, but Knockabout is a great on two.

[Masked Avenger]

Both are good, but the best is Butcher

[HAZ]

Hmm... I liked MB, but it was a kind of uneven film. One minute you have some slapstic comedy thing happening, the next a woman gets raped. I liked Knockabout better.

[AbeRudder]

Knockabout for me, Magnificent Butcher is incredible as well though.

[DeathFuMaster]

Well I went ahead a got butcher. Cant wait to recieve and watch it.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

A liked Knockabout a tad more, but as pretty much everyone else has said, you can't go wrong with either one.

[GwaiLoMoFo]

Magnificent Butcher is the better overall film imo. But I think the fighting performances by YB and Sammo are more impressive in Knockabout.

[Rebornman]

ill be biased since i just watched butcher and havent see knockabout yet. :P

[DeathShrike]

Knockabout

[WuxiaFan]

Knockabout

I agree, superb action in that sequence! I can watch that fight a 1000 times over. Yuen Mo certainly has talent (also, end fight from Spooky Encounters if memory serves correct).

[Tantheman]

I cant choose between these two! But if I had to it would be Magnificent Butcher. It just has classic written all over it. And its a more coherent and memorable movie in terms of plot and characters than Knockabout. Yeah that monkeys pole! And the end fight! Justa shame that Yuen Siu Tien died, it would be close to perfection if he was in it

[jrcma]

Well it's mostly down to who's your favourite out of Sammo Hung Kam-Bo or Yuen Biao?
even that Sammo & Biao r in both films I mean Knockabout show Biao's acrobatic skills so Biao's the leading man in Knockabout.
Sammo has the leading role in Magnificent butcher also is a Wong Fei Hung story play by the 1st big Hong Kong action star Kwan Tak Hing.
