. Mantis Fist & Tiger Claw of Shaolin is considered a lost classic. Back in the days of bootleg VHS, this tape was near impossible to find. Thanks to the progress of technology and the help of groundzero, we are now able to see this lost movie. You can tell it's copied straight from VHS, but still it's not that bad considering the source. One plus is the fact that it's a widescreed version, a minus is the subtitles at the bottom even though it is in english. The copy isn't that great, but this is truly a one of a kind kung fu flick. It's a martial art movie with a touch of Twilight zone added in. I know what you're thinking, one of those corny horror flicks, but that's not the case here. This one is tastefully done. Although it's not the best movie I've seen, this one will always stick out due to it's shocker ending and weird plot. The action is also there with characters that posess special techniques and weapons. Great movie to add to your collection. Also comes with another movie: Duel of the Brave Ones.

. The movie starts off with a cartoon showing a mantis and explains the females habit of killing it's mate and eating it's head. The movie goes on to tell the story of a man called Tiger and how he falls in love with a woman, but a series of murders has the local town frightened. Tiger (John Chang) must find out who is killing the local gang members. A number of mysterious attacks point to what appeared to be a giant mantis. Tiger eventually finds out that the mantis is actually his new wife. It turns out that before his wife was born her mother had a mantis enter her and she became pregnant. She soon gave birth to a baby girl. Since the girl is half mantis she must kill every man she sleeps with. This is bad news for Tiger because he is forced to kill her after they sleep together on their honeymoon.
