Leave your thoughts about Bat Without Wings.
| User ReviewAllan CThis is the story of the Bat Without Wings, a despicable rapist martial arts master who went on a rape/murder spree. It took 28 fighters to take him down, only 2 survived. Now, the fabled Bat Without Wings killer is back, and has kidnapped the daughter of a respectable clan. The fiancee, a stranger, and her father must team up and figure out the mystery, or else. Despite the intriguing premise and story, the plot is rather aimless and the fights are not very memorable. It ends up having less suspense than usual and the fighting is not as refined as other Chor Yuen films. |
| User ReviewTim MThis wuxia is "based on a novel by the late Taiwanese author Huang Ying and could be considered a macabre martial arts mystery of sorts." -Mark Pollard What stands out the most is the use of Gene Simmons makeup. It also features Joker's lethal laughing gas. Complicated plot, mediocre and obviously choreographed swordplay. For fans of Kiss and Shaw Brothers. |
