The first movie directed by Sammo Hung, The Iron-Fisted Monk begins when the title character (Chan Sing) sends Hawker (Sammo Hung) to the Shaolin temple. He tries to run away, as the master (James Tien) is too rough, but is found and undergoes four tests. While he's continuing to train, he's wrongly accused of assaulting the sister of Llang (Lo Hoi-pang) when, in truth, it's really a Manchurian official (Fung Hak-on) who believes that he is above the law. By the end, Hawker has redeemed himself by teaching the dye factory workers kung fu, even if they all die at the hands of the Manchu. Man, those guys are horrifying, because they also assault and kill Llang's wife, murder his mother and end up killing him. Can Hawker and the Iron-Fisted Monk get revenge for, well, just about everyone else in this movie? Sammo Hung always inspires me. Not just because he's a larger individual who is still so graceful, but because his movies always have so much well-filmed and planned action, as well as an actual plot that keeps me watching.

The Iron Fisted Monk is a excellent fast paced kung fu movie, starring and directed by Sammo Hung. Nicely shot with some cool looking sets and looking good on Blu. Sammo plays his normal goofy kind of character and has a little humor sprinkled about. However, there is some serious stuff that happens in the film, a rape that leads to a girl commiting suicide and bad guys relentlessly bullying kids. The baddies are The Manchus and in this film they are treacherous.. The fights are also quite abundant and in high quality. Sammo's action choreography is top tier and if you are a fan of martial arts movies then The Iron Fisted Monk would be a great addition to your collection.

Iron fisted monk has got a bad beginning, though nice * women halfway and a wonderful ending. That's all that can. Be said. For the rest, it's really the company you're in which could improve or devalue the movie, which won't be too hard with this flixk

Required viewing for fans of The Fat Dragon, Iron Fisted Monk is Sammo's directorial debut and a film well worth the time for any fan of martial arts cinema. The fights are well-choreographed and both Chen Sing and Sammo kick ass in this film. This film isn't just historically significant for being Sammo's first foray into directing but is also a solid film for kung fu fans

Well, given the fact that this was a 1977 Hong Kong martial arts movie and that it had Sammo Hung in it, I assumed that the movie would prove to be an entertaining one. Especially so, since other movies from that same time turned out to be rather enjoyable. But "The Iron-Fisted Monk" (aka "San De huo shang yu Chong Mi Liu") didn't turn out to be as interesting or entertaining as I had hoped for. Sure, it was still a watchable movie, but the storyline was just way too mundane, almost bordering on being boring actually. The action and martial arts sequences were good enough, though the fighting definitely felt staged and you could sense the choreography throughout the fights, as the performers took odd breaks in between moves. It made for a less than natural feel to the fighting sequences. As for this being a director debut for Sammo Hung, well it wasn't really all that great. I am sure, though, that back in 1977 then this was a fantastic movie. But having sat down to watch it for the first time ever now in 2021, it wasn't a movie that had withstood the test of time particularly well or gracefully. Sure, "The Iron-Fisted Monk" is a movie that has an appeal to hardcore fans of the martial arts genre. But if you look at the movie objectively in terms of entertainment value, then it just didn't stand out. My rating of "The Iron-Fisted Monk" is a less than mediocre four out of ten stars. While it was watchable, it is hardly a movie that will ever find its way back to my screen.

In some ways, it was a memorable film. It wasn't noticeably good or shockingly bad, but it had a few unusual scenes that will certainly surprise and unsettle the viewer. It is not your regular kung fu flick even though it had it all: bad guys, good guys, fights between the two and humour between the fights. For one, it also had descriptive rape scenes. I can't remember a Chinese kung fu film with sex being shown in such a crude way, clothes being ripped off, breasts popping out, lewd smirks on the rapist face and ultimately, the victim's death. That gave the film a startling and awkward contrast with the lighter scenes. A little after the sister of one of the lead characters died following a tragic chain of events, we see that same man, who seemed to be on a quest for revenge, playing around with the idea of going to a brothel with a monk. As this shows, the characters had little consistency -- and little cohesion too, even though Sammo Hung's character was supposed to be the hero, the perspective was shifting so much eventually that it felt difficult to isolate one character as the subject. Bad guys received more and more screen time, secondary characters came forth while the lead wandered off. The only appropriate way to clear up this profusion of central characters was to have them all kill each other. And so is what the script did. Confrontations suddenly pick up speed, people die en masse, "patience", which virtually was the only reason holding back everyone to settle the scores is no more, thrusting the remaining characters into the grand finale, a somewhat intimate fight between the toughest and the nastiest characters, whose unrestrained sadism had been cultivated during the infamous rapes. As if in response to these extreme scenes, the makers chose to end with another extreme, gory violence. Like it or not, it does feel fair, but fair as in a talion. Without these short sadistic bouts that seemed borrowed from American exploitation films of the time, it would have been a pretty unremarkable kung fu story. The fights, well-choreographed and using the classic animal postures dear to a long kung fu tradition, are however terribly choppy, to the point that you could easily time the moves "one-two, one-two" as they are performed. Iron-Fisted Monk is not a good kung fu film to start with, it is an oddity that will be met with greater interest by longtime B-movie amateurs.
