Member ShaOW!linDude Posted August 8, 2015 Member Share Posted August 8, 2015 Nothing comes to mind at the moment, but Shaw Bros. were always good about incorporating special weapons in a lot of their films. Some made sense, some didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the sleeve knives and other weapons in avenging eagle haha I just watched Avenging Eagle last night! I think the name "sleeve knife" sounds so funny too. But it makes sense. But then they came from his shoe first then attached to his wrists. Why not shoe knife? Or wrist knife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Shosetsu Posted December 30, 2018 Member Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) In the film Shaolin Intruders was the weapon the Shakujo. It is a staff carried by Temple monks. There are several different kinds of Shakujo. They are differentiated by the different design at the top of the staff. Those different designs represent different symbols or beliefs according to the particular religious sect. The one I saw was what I would describe as a cage-type design like the bars of a cage except the bars curve together into an oval shape.

Member Shosetsu Posted June 9, 2019 Member Share Posted June 9, 2019 Not weird but I have to say I was disappointed at the movie Legendary Weapons of China. It did not measure up to his title. In comparison, there was a much better variety of weapons in Gordon Liu's Heroes of the East. Even the lowly weapon the tonfa was included in Liu's movie. I used to have a friend who is a kung fu fan and he always used to say the tonfa is the least popular. I guess that depends on how many movies have featured that weapon. So if anybody can list any other appearances, that would be nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted April 19, 2020 Member Share Posted April 19, 2020 Fu Sheng in Avenging Eagle has blades in his sleeves and shoes. Chen Hung Lieh has the same sort of blades in his sleeves in Shaolin Invincibles. In Trilogy of swordsmanship, in the third section The White Water Strand, Ku Feng uses a similar net to the ones used by the gladiators, but with bells on the meshes, that is sometimes flexible and sometimes unbending to imprison the opponents. I can't take a screenshot of it because the dvd can't be played in the computer... Yi Yuen uses his braid as a weapon in Shaolin INvincibles, while there are two guys using their tongues like blades (30cm length !!!) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a nice still that displays the weapon well: And this one is not that weird, but while I have the folder open, does anyone know what the proper Chinese name of the weapon that Bolo is holding in this picture is called? It's a metal (brass, steel, iron, bronze?) rod about the length of a sword. I guess it's used for breaking sword blades and has a pointed tip. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted May 14, 2020 Member Share Posted May 14, 2020 The Phoenix Lute from the TEMPLE OF THE RED LOTUS trilogy shoots needles like a machine gun or something. Ku Feng provides his bow with "Flaming Marbles" ammunition, maybe not that unusual as a weapon but there is a scene where everyone is so happy that he uses them to ignite a warming fire in a cold rainy night which I thought rather amusing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted May 29, 2020 Member Share Posted May 29, 2020 @Iron_Leopard recently started a topic on Chor Yuen's Web of Death and that reminded me of the 5 Venoms Spider. That has to be one of the weirdest weapons as well. You just knew things weren't going to end well once you heard that ominous siren effect and the spider unleashed its deadly venom on its poor victims! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
