ebiros2 Invincible armor is totally old school kung-fu action film, but seems to attract many loyal fans. The title invincible armor comes from the main antagonist being a master of hard chi-kung can transform his body into indestructible armor (there are many martial artists who still practice this style in China. They demonstrate this by bending a spear with its tip on their throat). The protagonist practice one style that can penetrate this armor, but there's a twist. Body must be struck in certain sequence in order to defeat the armor. In this sense, the antagonist is bit like Bai Mei in the Executioners from Shaolin. The old school part is that one fight scene follows another with little or no story going. Why they have to fight so much, I have no idea. Then it comes to the final show down, and ouch ! the end happens in a very painful way. You have to see it to appreciate it.I would have like to seen more story than fighting, but that's my preference. It's a classic kung- fu movie format, and is one of the better produced movie of its kind. See it for the fight scenes.

InjunNose Those elaborate, Shaw Brothers-style period costumes just don't work against a Poverty Row background like the one we see in "Invincible Armor", but hell...why quibble? Hwang Jang Lee and John Liu, two of the top three kickers in the business (the third being Delon Tam, Liu's instructor), tear up the screen in this film and that's what counts. My only complaint about the fight scenes is that there were too many distracting, split-second shots of shattered eggs every time someone attacked what they thought was Hwang's vulnerable point (his testicles, naturally). Just concentrate on the action, guys, please! Otherwise, this is a fun, straightforward flick that you'll enjoy if Hong Kong kung fu cinema is your thing.

loser_reviews I saw this movie during the bus ride on a school fieldtrip, and couldn't stop enjoying myself. Don't get me wrong, this movie is a bad movie, but that is where it triumphs. The usual cheesiness of these kung fu films makes us wonder if people actually took them seriously sometime in the 1970s. Definately a film to be seen with a crowd, preferably under whichever influence you prefer, "Invincible Armour" contains all the non-stop action and unintentional laughs one would expect from a B-Kung Fu movie. The soundtrack is reminiscent of an early Nintendo Game and the English dubbing highlights the acting. "Invincible Armour" also has possibly one of the most side-splittingly funny (and abrupt) endings ever seen in its genre (including a great allegory which involves a pair of eggs and a fist).I recommend this movie for anyone looking for a light-hearted laugh and something to talk about the next day with their friends.

montessny If it's starring Hwang Jang Lee your in for a great movie!This one is a great.This movie is starts out with action and it has very little time to spare with corny comedy like on some kung fu movies.The movies plot is ok.For such a great movie though I thought they could have wrote the movie with a little more drama and twists to keep you guessing on who is good and bad!Great fighting styles,Eagle's claw,Iron finger armor,High leg kicks from John Liu.If you like white long haired masters like me... you will like this movie also.The White haired masters one on one near the end what could be better!The end finishes strong which reminds me of the movie Fist of the white lotus somewhat.Hwang Jang Lee was so strong that you could have thrown a ton brick in his face and he would have still been coming to you!Scary!
