Questions about Movies/A Chinese Movie in the 70's

Expert: Nell Minow - 6/1/2009


Question
I'm trying to find a Chinese movie my siblings and I saw @ the movie theater in the 70's called the Chinese Professionals.  It was about these Chinese men, who was bought together, it was 7 of them with seven different fighting styles, to defeat one common foe?  One of the Professionals wore all black and kinda looked like a vampire, there was a set of twins, and some others.  They were all the best at their fighting styles.  Please help!  We really want this movie!!!

Answer
I think that is also known as Du bei chuan wang and as One-Armed Boxer.  It is not currently available, but you may be able to find a used tape or DVD.  I warn you, the subtitles are supposed to be very poor -- but I know that's not what you are most interested in!

Good luck, and thanks for writing.

Movies, especially classic movies, current movies, family movies, and movies for families.

Experience

I am the movie critic for Beliefnet and radio stations across the country. I have written about movies for USA Today, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun Times, Parents, Family Fun, Child, Slate, and Daughters. I am the weekly movie critic for radio stations across the US and in Canada and write weekly parental advisories for the Chicago Sun-Times and the Kansas City Star. I have appeared on Fox Morning News, the ABC Evening News, CBS This Morning, and NPR, and been profiled in the NY Times, Washingtonian, Chicago Magazine, and the Chicago Tribune. My book, The Movie Mom's Guide to Family Movies, was published by Avon in April 1999 and is now in its second edition. I can answer questions about movies for special interests, especially family concerns, handling questions from kids like "What do I do when he says everyone else has seen it?" to "My daughter got nightmares from a movie --how can I help her?" or "Why does my child want to see the DVD over and over?" to "What's the deal with Pokemon?" I am pretty good with trivia questions about movies, too, not as good with made-for-TV movies or miniseries. And I don't know much about horror/slasher films, sorry.
