A not quite fascinating midge modge

This apparently was made in 2011, I experienced it as filmed in 1972 and dubbed in 1956. I gave it a 5 as there is a possibility that it is not as bad subtitled or for viewers fluent in the language.

The actual film is a lot of people making a lot of short journeys over a short amount of time and meeting with a confusing amount of other people and each other, I think. This is interspersed with regulation action sequences often leading to boss fights that were akin to poorly executed modern dance.

to have produced a film of this quality in 2011 you must have broken into a well mothballed studio and utilised the worst 1970's production values, it was odd to watch.

What made it worthwhile was the dubbing, these people are genius, the lip syncing was actually pretty good, but the hamming.... at times almost made the film worth watching.

So you think you can do it better

You can always tell the people on here that have never accomplished anything of their own. They are quick to dog someone else's hard work. They constantly grade B movies against A list movies. This was a good old-fashioned 70s martial arts piece. If that's what you're looking for, this will do the trick. Grab some popcorn, find a comfortable seat and Watch it for what it is and enjoy. Nuff Said Mike Out.

Ok I was finished with this a while ago but this is forcing me to use at least 600 characters. So sorry for the Superfluous content maybe that's why this has so few reviews. Sorry maybe this will fill it. Cheating, yes, effective, we'll see lol.

Good as ever

Everyone has own opinions and I'm not a director or producer. What I have to say, is that, I enjoyed it.
