Two young girls (Chia Ling and Chung-erh Lung), whose entire families were order executed by the king, are rescued by Shaolin monks and trained in the fighting art of Shaolin. Once they come of age, they decide to seek their revenge against the king. Sent to add them in their quest are two men also trained in the art of Shaolin (played to Tan Tao-liang and Carter Wong). Still it won't be easy for our heroes because the king has a formidable armed guard of skilled and treacherous Kung-Fu experts, his castle is filled with booby traps to protect him against intruders and finally he is bizarrely enough served by two seemingly unstoppable Kung-Fu fighting "gorillas" and their two human trainers, who possess fantastically long tongues which they make use of in combat.

While truly weird as weird can get at times, especially the stuff involving the Kung Fu fighting gorillas (actually guys in the most ridiculous-looking ape costumes you're ever likely to see) and their long-tongued trainers (the tongues often look ludicrously fake too), this offers up a lot of exciting Kung-Fu fighting featuring our two lovely and quite skilled female leads and their male helpers. The story, aside from what's mentioned above, is fairly straightforward and easy to follow and the adventure as an whole proves quite enjoyable. That said, personally I couldn't help but get a kick out of the Kung-Fu "gorillas" and their trainers, as the scenes featuring them are so bizarre and unusual it's hard to take one's eyes away from them despite the utter disbelief one feels while viewing them. These two elements seem to nudge this one slightly into the realm of outright fantasy although thankfully the majority of the fighting scenes seem grounded in reality.

(1977) Shaolin Invincibles DUBBED MARTIAL ARTS PERIOD PIECE

Not bad for a 'chop sockey' film which the story is more intriguing than the martial arts action itself about a Chinese tyrant with the title as an evil emperor wiping out a family with two sisters of Judy Lee and Lu Yu Liang still living, saved by a Chinese monk. And upon consistent training and growing older, both Judy Lee (Chia Ling) and Lu Yu Liang (Chun-Erh Lung) vow revenge against the emperor that ordered the meaningless slaughtering's. The movie also stars Carter Wong as he plays another student who trains with the sisters, a popular name of martial art movies made in the 70's.

This is a classic kung-fu format movie that's surprisingly entertaining and well made.

A tyrannical emperor kills the family of anyone that he suspects is not in alignment with his ways. Two girls who were orphaned by these killing, gets picked up by a monk in Shaolin temple, and grows up to be accomplished fighters. They go to avenge their parent's death by seeking out the emperor.

I'm usually not so impressed by Taiwan produced movies from this era due to their bad directing, and production. But this movie seems to be of format familiar to them, and the end product came out just fine.

Chia Ling plays the lead, and Carter Wong plays one of the co-leads. There're funny moments in this movie where two gorillas are part of the army of the emperor, and the sisters have to defeat them by attacking their weak spot. There are few other surprises in this movie, but somehow they don't turn out ridiculous, and adds to the movie.

Chia Ling is one of the famous female kung fu actress of the time, and she's beautiful in this movie. She can also move, and put on excellent fight scenes.

This is a very entertaining movie, and is recommended for viewing.
