ZEN KWUN DO STRIKES IN PARIS

[MANOZEN]

Hi ,

IMO Zen Kwun Do Strikes In Paris is an excellent film, and without a doubt the ultimate showcase for John Liu's kickin' style ! Well casted with the likes of Alan Hsu, Tino Wong, Roger Paschy, plus more champion stylers providing many a classic martial art exchange ! :smokin

I definately agree that this film featured John Liu's best fights, he's never looked better. But the story is ridiculous and the acting is pretty bad too. I think Liu's best movie overall is Incredible Kung Fu Mission. :)

Hi ,

As far as the story/acting goes I have not an issue with that as John is greatly being Liu, in a manner of speaking . Must have been an emotive ego kickin' project for Mr Liu .... Least not forget the J.L. anthem !

As far as any rating system scores I would give Zen a 10 !

I also rate Incredible Kung Fu Mission, lots of quality fights delivered by great characters too !

This film looks superb. Probably the only John Liu movie i have yet to see. is it availabe on dvd?

John liu was at his kicking zenith when he put this classic out .
so the storu and the acting were poor so what. it's the boot that counts, isn't it?

[Chinatown Kid]

It does to me, this film is worth having for the fights alone! 8) Same case with Dragon's Blood, the fights aren't as good as Zenkwando in Paris but it's worth seeing for the fights even though the story and acting is poor.

with that kind of boot should the plot be an issue..

[WalkOn]

Agreed! Great fights, who needs a story! ;-) I feel the 1st fight is John Liu's greatest screen moment. The scene where he fights the 3 thugs, one of them being Yuen Man Meng (star of Daggers Eight). Nice fast pace, and great variety of kicks! Also, I believe it was one of Yuen Man Meng's last appearances before his heart condition got the best of him, if I recall correctly.

WalkOn, send me your updated list while you can. I have your movies ready to be shipped with a trade.

Take care

No, this film was made pre Tiger kids ect, he suffered his Heart attack sometime during or shortly after Lovers Blades.

Thanks for clearing that up, dager in the cotton. I was never clear when Zen Kwun Do Strikes in Paris was made. I always read it was made in 1979, but I thought that it was actually made in the early 80's after his traditional films.

Frank, I'll shoot you an email, to see what you would like.

Thanks!

where can i get this movie?

[Chan Wah Shun]

Through the black market or by trading. Speaking of black market, I'm surprised that Panmedia/Red Sun don't have a dvd for this yet.

[Chinatown Kid]

I got my copy from Flashlegsrare, If you want to trade for it let me know. ;)

[the dirty tiger]

I have a spare American video of it if you'd be interested, full screen dubbed I think, need to check.....
