Post Five Element Ninja/Chinese Super Ninjas
I just finished watching this, the greatest of all Shaw Brothers films, totally remastered and in Mandarin, twice on a big ass TV. It's possibly the only current benefit of owning Drunken Master, but damn, this movie rocks.

was the crippled avengers the one with the guy who gets his arm chopped off and uses his "little arm" to fight? oh, and there was this other guy who pisses his boss off, and they pour acid on his legs? that movie was funny and seriously awesome at the same time.

Nope, Crippled avengers has a guy whose legs get broken, they blind another, crush someones skull till he becomes I guess mentally deficient, and a deaf guy.

That's Crippled Masters. You can find a crappy copy of it on those "10 Kung Fu Movies on 5 DVD's for $10" packages public domain companies put out.

But yeah, that movie is f**king awesome. :lol:

Just got my copy of Five Element Ninjas as well and I can't wait to see it. I also picked up The Kid with the Golden Arm, House of Traps, The Delightful Forest, and Shaolin Rescuers. It's going to be a Shaw marathon weekend for me.
