User Review - 10/10 by Rick C[color=black]The greatest martial arts film I have seen. A terrific story of marital dysfunctional and rivalry between nations plays host to some of the most vivid, thrilling fight scenes ever filmed. Amazingly every fight scene in this film is on par with the others. Usually martial art films will have one or two stand out set pieces and smaller scenes peppered about, but in [i][color=black]Heroes[/color] of the [color=black]East[/color][/i] each fight scene is handled with the same amount of care and attention, which is no small deal as the majority of the film is the fight scenes. Incredibly for a film that is mostly action scenes, no one dies or gets seriously injured in the entire movie. This film is about two nation's warriors learning to respect each other's technique and culture not about striking down the opponent. The marital dysfunction scenes that set the film in motion are also hugely entertaining. One scene in particular in which husband and wive throw down their country's hidden weapons on a table recalls the great Hollywood comedies of the 30s and 40s. Combining the best of both worlds [i][color=black]Heroes[/color] of the [color=black]East[/color][/i] becomes a relentlessly entertaining, inventive masterpiece.[/color]
User Review - 8/10 by Allan CExcellent Lau Kar Leung direct martial arts film featuring Gordon Liu with an uncharacteristically huge head of hair. Liu marries a Japanese woman and manages insult all of her family, resulting in himself having to prove that Chinese marital arts are just as good as Japanese martial arts. This leads to a series of terrific fights that take up the last 40 minutes or so of the film. One of the fights involving Liu with a three-sectional staff and an opponent with nunchucks is a real standout. Sadly, that wasn't the final fight of the film., which is something I always felt director Cheh Chang did very well in most all of his films, building to the best fight at the end of the film. As with most Shaw Brothers films, the story here isn't all that good, but the fight scenes are excellent and make this film well worth watching for martial arts film fans.
User Review - 8/10 by John SAwesome! Not a bad job at making comparisons of the Japanese vs. Chinese martial arts styles, though a little one-sided of course. I liked the story, and the kick-ass woman too :)
User Review - 6/10 by Greg WGordon Liu has to prove that Chinese combat can beat Japanese combat in a series of showdowns.
User Review - 6/10 by Daryl KAKA 'Shaolin Challenges Ninja', AKA Gordon Liu Smacks a Little Japanese Girl Around For a Half Hour or So. Great Chinese vs. Japanese martial arts demonstrations as Liu and his arranged bride, Yuka Mizuno, bicker and argue (and fight) over whose culture is superior. Once the Japanese masters take up Liu's misguided challenge, the fight sequences really get good. Noted as being a "respectful" Chinese take on Japanese martial arts, but only to the extent it doesn't mock them openly -- at least not after the first half.
User Review - 6/10 by Adam LMizuno Yuko is adorable as Gordon Liu's earnest Japanese bride who insists that her culture is superior in martial arts. Marital bliss evaporates soon there after in this bloodless Sino-Japanese war of the roses.
User Review - 4/10 by George NFor fan of old school martial arts films that Wu-Tang would watch.
