IRON MONEY FOR £10.99 BARGAIN

That`s right one of the greatest kung fu movies ever is available from play247 and under18 for the knockdown price of £10.99. This film is directed by the man who brought you crouching tiger and the matrix.

Currently number 6 in the USA box office cinema charts this film starring Donnie Yen is not to be missed. HKL has digitally remastered the whole film, looks like it was made yesterday.

Hope they still are doing it! (woolworths) - I used your link to buy it at £8.99 + 1.50 p and p. It seems to be out of stock at play.

I bought my Iron Monkey from Woolworths. I thought that offer ended. Still £10.49, £10.99 not that much in it.

hi i think www.under18.org.uk might have it cheap. i hear they are good for HKL discs.ooops you knew this disregard this comment.
PS Is this film better than Jet Li`s Black Mask? cos i thought the martail arts in that were fantastic, best ive seen etc. Oh and why is it rated 12? cos it says 18 on the cover. No martial arts movie rated 12 can be good

"No martial arts movie rated 12 can be good"

I`m afraid that your sweeping generalisation is utterly wrong. The film is rated 12, and it is fantastic. As myself and 10 other reviewers can testify:-

This film is the most kung fu intensified 12 out there. It is 1000 times better than black mask IMHO. Tons of fights blended with a fantastic storyline, miramax were right to buy the rights of this classic movie.

Here is what the people in the business think of it:

PS DO NOT BUY THE s***E SEQUEL LIKE ME. The sequel was filmed in 2 weeks and Donnie Yen appears in it for like 1 whole second.

Correctamundo!
An MA flick doesn`t have to be an 18 to be good!
"Iron Monkey" is one of the best and is only a 12 (as is CT,HD). Other classics like JC`s "Miracles" feature astounding fight scenes and are only PG.

My review for Iron Monkey is up at http://www.dragonsdenuk.com as well as around 300+ other films. Take a look if HK`s ure thing!

Received it today!
I have to say no ones praise has done this film justice.
It is a masterpiece.
I only have 5 kungfu films and although they are good this film just reaches a new level.
The print itself is immaculate. The extras are also good.
Can anyone recommend any other Hong Kong films which come close to this?
