Chris Haskell For anyone who doesn't remember analog cable television there was this amazing phenomenon where if you didn't pay for HBO or Cinemax you could still hear them and could see a little bit of a picture every couple of seconds. As a teenager I would, of course, sneak into the room with the TV after respectable hours and try to catch a glimpse of fuzzy nudity. Why tell this story? I felt like trying to find wushu style martial arts in Wushu Warrior was liking trying to find out what a woman looks like naked with fuzzy cable. It's the same as trying to find Waldo in a room full of Santa Claus suits, with one main difference. When you find Waldo you're excited. When you see the Wushu in this crappy movie you go "meh" and then realize you just wasted an hour and a half. It's not a good movie. Don't watch this. If you're reading these reviews thinking 'at least I'll get some sweet kung-fu, right?' ... don't fall for it. This is not worth watching. Rating: 4/40
DrSmooth I was relaxing at home at midnight with a plate of take-out and a beer. I figured that this was a great time for a turn off your brain movie, so I started flipping through the wasteland. I landed upon a 12:05am showing of Wushu Warrior on The Movie Channel. I figured this would be great. Cheesy kung-fu movies and beer are a winning combination. Unfortunately, what I got was a cheesy kung-fu movie that took itself way too seriously.If ever there was a movie that should realize that it didn't have the budget, fight choreography, acting talent, writing and post production work needed to take itself seriously, it should be this one. I mean, in the opening "I want to learn your ways" bit a guy teleports, and then tells the main character that there's a dragon inside everyone.The movie's big fight sequence is literally about 60 seconds long, apparently both because there wasn't anyone on the film that could fight convincingly and because the screenwriter thought his plot was freaking amazing. The story's hackily-written cliché upon cliché, and when it isn't being poorly dubbed in English, it's being delivered with all the ability of a elementary school performance.Bottom line, this isn't even worth killing time at midnight, and the laughs from the poor production can't justify wasting your time on this. Much sadness.
Phil Fletcher If I could go with 0 stars I would! This must be made for a children's network channel or something. This entire movie could be a sub plot for Walker Texas Ranger.The acting in this film is just atrocious. (SPOILERS COMING UP) There will be a scene when the adoptive father of the main character disappears and reappears up in the rafters.. when that happens you'll think to yourself "Self, I should turn this off" and you should listen! It would be better to watch anything that the Lifetime network can throw at me than to watch this again!Plot: A boys father is killed and he is raised in a remote village by the adoptive ninjas. There he learns of his inner dragon and for about 10 years learns martial arts. Trying to prove that he belongs as part of the village, he try's to gather information about a continuing ploy to enslave Chinese people. When the other guy on the mission gets spotted, he starts yelling his name out and they both get seen. While trying to get away, they are seen by the 1,000th person who happens to be the villains daughter and they kidnap her. Rest of the story you can get from Madam Chleo it's so predictable.***SPOILER*** As for the ending, it ends almost mid-thought and almost makes you wonder if they'd attempt a sequel; for the love of everything Holy just stop the bleeding now!
mindsedgeblade Watch this movie for what it is. A GUY MOVIE. It's simply a good kung fu flick. No horribly mushy love story, no long drawn out character development, no silly twists for the director to show how much better he thinks he is than the rest of the world, and no "indy" or "emo" blood letting or soul searching. There's even a valid historical reason for the Chinese to speak English.The gunfire is underwhelming, while the "sorcery" and super-natural effects are very well done. It feels organic and an extension of the warrior spirit. Not sure if it was intentional, but this has the feel of "there still lies power in the old ways." Not over-the-top, for the most part. The final fight scene is a bit of a stretch though. The few "wire-fu" moments aren't over-ambitious, and serve to show growth in the art, rather than feeling like an excuse to show off (as in Crouching Tiger and the like).If you're a martial artist, this film leans ever so slightly to the spiritual side of the art. Just enjoy it and try not to dwell on any inaccuracies. The protagonist is orphaned, taken in by a wushu master and his village, and through the years learns the secrets. He finds strength, and learns control. It struck a chord with me, as I'm sure it will with other who take their training seriously.
