Cult Films

This is kind of a strange one. A gang of bandits attack a village and all the adults are killed but the kids get away and are helped by a pair of monks. The monks teach the kids kung fu to get revenge on their attackers. Normally I don't like kid fights in movies, mainly because they're just not very good. But this is a group of Chinese acrobat kids that were cast and they are pretty awesome. Lots of cool stunts and their striking is clean and crisp as well as great acrobatics. What makes it strange is the tone of the film. There will be children singing in the background and the kids laughing as they brutally beat the bandits to death and blood sprays everywhere. The atmosphere is childish and grim and gory at the same time. I can honestly say I've never seen a kung fu film quite like it.
