Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

poe426 THE MASTER gets off to a great start, with Jin Tianyun (Chen Kuan Tai) being attacked in a tea house. The fight scene is great, with a little twist of its own: Jin thinks he's up against three opponents- The Three Devils-, but he's nearly fatally wounded by a fourth attacker- the owner of the tea house himself. Jin escapes by diving through a window- with the treacherous owner's knife still in him. Meanwhile, Gao (Yuen) is being mercilessly bullied at "The Decent School of Martial Arts." Gao gets reprimanded when he fights back and his suffering is compounded. When he returns home that night, Jin arrives, nearly dead, and Gao takes him in. As Jin secretly recovers (Gao would be in even deeper **** if Jin's presence were known), Gao discovers that Jin had once beaten Gao's master, Shi. Jin muses that he'll live to be 90. "How can a blind man see the future?" Gao wonders. To get money to buy medicine to help Jin, Gao goes undercover in a brothel and steals it. He is "outed" and beats a hasty retreat. When Jin has recovered enough, he confronts the pretentious Shi, but is injured again. When he flees Shi's school, he's ambushed once again by The Three Devils and killed. The 3 then decimate Shi's school and take up permanent residence. Gao becomes a waiter in a tea house. There is plenty of solid action throughout THE MASTER and it's beautifully choreographed and shot. The one and only flaw is a single reverse-action shot that stands out in my mind because it's the ONLY real flaw in the entire film. That's why I rate it a solid ten.

Maxime Frechette ALL TIME KUNG FU CULT CLASSICshaw brothers -a young kungfu student helps save the life of a stranger who he later finds out is a great kungfu and sword master. in return for his good deed the man agrees to teach him. unfortunately his current master doesn't like the competition and kicks him out of the school. the master gets a small group of men to slay the 3 evil masters but they don't have much luck and the only person left alive is the master. the 3 evil masters also take over the school as there new headquarters. the student which got kicked out of the school hears about the situation and goes to reclaim the school.Another Shaw Brothers kung fu classic. Nice story, good acting, and the most impressive, the wushu skills of the actors. I really recommend this movie for thoses of you who enjoy real traditional kung fu.The principal actor in this movie is stunning !!If you practice traditional martial arts you will see and understand some moves, it is really nice !!Once again, very good movie, worth watching.

Rafacus Easily one of my favorite Kung Fu films, 3 Evil Masters delivers in both dynamic choreography and excellent quotes. The dubbing is phenomenal in this Shaw Brothers gem as you will finish the movie repeating the jokes or threats by the characters "'I despise your killing, and raping… your… despicable!" (quotes such as this). The only down part in the film is the incredibly poor quality of the movie itself, the beginning is plagued with blurriness and the end had a few glitches reminiscent of the old VHS tapes (the ones that have been watched hundreds of times). This does not take anything away from the story, action and legendary delivery of a Shaw Scope movie, however.Chen Kuan Tai is a righteous kung-fu master and has grown tired of the 3 Evil Masters and their crimes. Taking it into his own hands to take them on, he ends up badly wounded and has to retreat to the Kung Fu school of an old rival. Within the school he meets a bullied orphan and reluctantly teaches him his invincible kung-fu and sword techniques. After eventual death, Chen Kuan Tai's orphan student masters the style on his own and takes revenge on the 3 Evil Masters.Ridiculously great fighting and hilarious slapstick (reminiscent of most Kung Fu movies) are mere bonuses to the host of likable good guys, annoying side characters and badass bad guys. This is one of the best movies to start any newb fan on their journey of fine Kung Fu cinema. A must for the collector, if you haven't seen it, or barely remember it, then check out the 3 Evil Masters ASAP.

Masta_Ruthless The Shaw Bros. have more than proved that they where the king of kung fu film production. In comes 3 Evil Masters, it follows the same storyline as most old school kung fu flicks. Orphan kid taken in and the master treats him like garbage.Chen Kuan Tai steps on the scene injured from a plot to kill him. The kicker is that he is also the same man that broke the cruel masters' ribs and agrees to teach the orphan kid kung fu. Chen Kuan Tai is then hurt again from a fight, he escapes only to run into the Evil 3 that has been trying to kill him.Finally they succeed causing the orphan student to extract revenge to the fullest. An early Shaw Bros. title, and a good one indeed. Check this movie out, you can't go wrong.
