Duel of the Iron Fist by Lung Ti - Classic Kung Fu Movie DVD - Action-Packed Martial Arts Film for Movie Collectors and Kung Fu Enthusiasts - Perfect for Home Theater Nights and Martial Arts Training Inspiration

Do not be fooled by the change of title, this is NOT Duel Of The Iron Fist...not entirely.The VHS version of this classic film is called Duel Of The Shaolin Fist, and is edited for TV, minus much of the fight scenes, especially the final one. It's at least in wide screen, which is a plus. It clocks in at 90 minutes.This DVD version clocks in at 98 minutes, but is full screen (meaning that we get to miss the sides of it all, including half their faces, at times). In addition, the ending is once again cut out of the film.When will we be able to get the full-length, uncut version, in glorious wide screen? I doubt that I'll live long enough to see it again.Awful work on this fantastic film. Don't waste your money.Delivery of the movie was timely and the quality was excellent HOWEVER it was extremely heartbreaking to get to the final minutes and experience an ABRUPT END TO THE MOVIE CUTTING OFF THE ORIGINAL END! I was under the belief that when I ordered and paid for this movie I was getting it in its ENTIRETY....Who knowingly purchases an INCOMPLETE movie....I NEVER HAD UNTIL NOW! I am so... disappointed! And the worst part is that it was ordered as a special Christmas gift for a loved one!I went to get this movie cause i remembered it from the 70s...but it was done very poorly, and ending was cut off, so i had to get the better , full version "the Duel". I tell ya , the version "duel of the Iron Fist " is awful, and looks like it was recorded off an old cable channel . The picture is fuzzy , and it just looks very , very , cheaply done. Most of all ,and i say again, the ending is cut off! If you want the movie , please get "The Duel" insted.Although the movie is decent, the quality of the dvd is not, it has problems with sudden freezes at times, que quality of the picture is below standards and the ending of the movie is cutoff so there's no ending scene. A very dissapointing dvd.Oklove this classic very much...had 2 tell some friends of mine, they thought ti lung was bruce lee when he was younger and i had 2 school dem fools...just because ur' a nationality , we all suppose 2 look-a-like...go figure?!!avoid at all cost the dvd-r put out by MR. FAT-W VIDEO, in reality its looks like a bootleg copied from a vhs in poor picture quality, it's fullscreen, dubbed in English, but cheap to buy , but if you want better don't get this version, but in there defence it does say dvd-r, fullscreen and English, I myself jumped on this because it was cheap and did not read the full description. be aware.glad to finally have a copy of movie, but the visual quality of the movie was disappointing*This review refers to the version with the green and blue border on the cover*The main reason that I purchased this DVD was because it was cheap, what a mistake! Let me start off by saying that The Duel aka Duel of the Iron Fist is a Shaw Brothers classic, but this disc does the film no favours at all! It clearly states on the cover that this is the remastered and restored version of the film. What you actually get is a full screen VHS transfer which is not only dreadful quality it also cuts off about 50% of the picture due to very poor framing (A Celestial remaster, it most definitely is not). And to top it off it's also on a very cheap DVD-R! I had to send mine back for a refund. Avoid it like the plague, you have been warned!
