Incredible Kung Fu Mission (1979) Also Known As: Kung-Fu Commandos · Shi Xiong Shi Di Zhai Chu Ma · 師兄師弟齊出馬 stars John Liu alongside Alexander Lo Rei, Alan Chui Chung-san and Robert Tai. Directed by Cheung San Yee, this Taiwanese kung fu film follows a team of fighters recruited for a dangerous rescue mission.
The Story
When a revolutionary leader is captured by a warlord, a skilled martial artist assembles a group of fighters to bring him back. The team must prepare for an operation against armed enemies who have every advantage of numbers and position.
As the men move closer to their target, ambushes and resistance put their training to the test. Completing the rescue will depend on how well the fighters work together as much as on their individual abilities.
The Martial Arts
John Liu's fast, high kicking techniques are a major attraction, supported by hand-to-hand fighting from Alexander Lo Rei, Alan Chui Chung-san and Robert Tai. The action emphasizes physical skill and extended exchanges characteristic of independent Taiwanese kung fu movies of the 1970s.
Why Collectors Pick It
Incredible Kung Fu Mission is a useful addition for collectors looking for John Liu movies on DVD and Taiwanese martial arts films outside the major Hong Kong studios. Its team-based story and cast of familiar old-school performers give viewers several different fighting styles in one movie.
Historical Significance
Released in 1979, the film belongs to the period when independent Taiwanese productions offered an alternative to Hong Kong studio kung fu cinema. It showcases the kicking-focused action associated with John Liu and the ensemble martial arts format popular at the time.
