Review: One of the very best Asian martial arts films ever made. A fantastic story with mind-blowing martial arts action. - I have been a student and instructor of numerous martial arts (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate, Kobudo, Kenjutsu, Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics etc) for more than 60 years. I have also become a fan of the Asian martial arts films such as the award winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and countless other martial art films. This one is in my top ten list of fantastic martial arts films. The acting and colorful scenes in combination with some of the most intense and mind-blowing martial arts action makes this a must own DVD. The story is one to love because it is about the little guy overcoming government corruption, which is something we can all relate to if you live in the Chicgo, lllinois area. The secretive Iron Monkey slinks along in the dead of night to fight for the oppressed people. The government authorities resort to some underhanded tactics to catch the Iron Monkey, but they fail. In conclusion, if you like martial arts films with an excellent story combined with fantastic fight action scenes, you will want to see and own this great movie. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Predator Hunter: A warrior's memoir) Review: I got a tension headache while watching this - With spectacular fight scenes and a simple (yet effective) story line, Tsui Hark dishes up a masterpiece martial arts film with "Iron Monkey". The film takes place during the latter part of the Manchu Dynasty where Dr. Yang is a local physician who runs a clinic with his wife by day but fights and steals from corrupt government officials by night as the Robin Hoodesque folk hero "Iron Monkey". The fight scenes in this film are constant and incredible. I particularly liked the pace that they were conducted in and in some ways this movie reminded me of the 1970s Kung-Fu films I used to watch during Saturday afternoons as a kid, respectfully. My main complaint with this film is that the subtitles do not stay on the television screen long enough to read them making it difficult to follow the dialogue. The fight scene at the end with Iron Monkey and Wong fighting the Chinese overlord on flaming wooden poles was incredible. I ended up following the advice of one reviewer and bought the Hong Kong version of this film which can also be bought at desertcart. If the U.S. release of this film (which I have not seen) is a watered-down, edited version then the Hong Kong version is certainly worth the wait. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004U7MR0K | | Actors | Hsiao, Hou, Li, Fai, Tsang, Sze-Man, Yan, Yee Kwan, Yen, Donnie | | Best Sellers Rank | #184,020 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #15,785 in Action & Adventure DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,278) | | Director | Yuen, Woo-Ping | | Dubbed: | English | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 16478410 | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | April 26, 2011 | | Studio | Lions Gate Home Entertainment | ## Product Details - **Format:** AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen - **Genre:** Action & Adventure - **Language:** English - **Manufacturer:** Lions Gate Home Entertainment ## Images ![Iron Monkey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ewLB1s8HL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the very best Asian martial arts films ever made.

Don't even say the word 'Monkey' *by A***R on February 11, 2005* After seeing (and absolutely loving) Donnie Yen in Hero and Shanghai Knights, I had to have more. Iron Monkey seemed like a good bet, so I bought it. WOW. I hit the jackpot! Rough and comic unlike the serious and elegant Hero. Chinese, Chinese, Chinese unlike the Hollywood Jackie Chan Knights. Plenty of martial arts and good natured humor. From the corrupt Governor and his many giggling wives to the evil monk who -- opps there go the many giggling wives -- to Master Fox, the heart of gold police chief, all the bad guys are comics. When the Governor orders that Iron Monkey must be arrested, the police round up an acrobat who jumps like a monkey, a man who sneezes like a monkey, a man selling...someone leans over and whispers, "Don't even say the word Monkey," but he gets nabbed, too. Even the serious Donnie Yen and Rongguang Yu have a playful chopstick fight over a piece of roasted duck. For those who love flying, there are many scenes with the beautiful antigravity choreography of Woo-Ping Yuen. Probably the most lovely is the first, when the Doctor (Iron Monkey) and Miss Orchid (the nurse) go flying around the room to retrieve a stack of papers which has blown out of their hands at the end of a busy day at the clinic. Although Iron Monkey's father had been killed unjustly and Miss Orchid's son, born of her work as a prostitute slave, dies at birth, in the present tense no one dies which is as it should be with a good old fashioned folk story.
