KILLER CLANS (1976)



 This classic Shaw Brothers kung fu epic has a few positive things going for it including some completely unnecessary but awesome sexy/nudie bits including an attempted rape and an attempted reverse-rape(is that the politically correct term?) where a lady tries to hump a poor impotent drunken fellow. Boobs are rare in many of these old fu-flicks so that's nice to see. Also it's got some blood including a decapitation. Now on the negative side there's way too many characters and I was never totally sure which clan I was supposed to be rooting for up until towards the very back end. Luckily some of the weapons are unique to certain characters or I woulda been totally lost. The plot is your basic warring clan one, the old wise master is called "uncle" instead of "master" for some reason and I found that I didn't care about too many of the characters, probably because there were so many of them that they felt disposable anyway. I would say overall this is a middle-of-the-road Shaw film for completests only.
