The famous swordsman Hsia Feng gathers five other fighters and rallies the local fishermen to fight off a band of Japanese pirates.
The 70's kung fu craze that swept North American B movie theatres with the popularity of Bruce Lee reached its pinnacle with this movie. Following Lee's death there were many heirs presumptive that were supposed to take off as international kung fu stars, but never did. These include Bruce Li, Sonny Chiba, Jackie Chan (whose international popularity took hold many years later and in fact has surpassed Lee's in many ways), Chuck Norris, (who had inherent North American appeal, but lacked the mysticism surrounding Lee), and perhaps the most talented of them all, Jimmy Wang Yu.
Wang Yu movies had elements of myth, magic, history and violence that has been touched on, but not equaled by Ang Lee's recent Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Old all the Wang Yu movies, Beach of the War Gods comes together in a way that truly raised the genre to new heights. A Chinese general arrives in a coastal town to fend off a Japanese invasion. While based on an historical incident, the movie employs all the trademark fantastical elements of great kung fu films. The various leaders of the Chinese and Japanese forces have special powers and skills and these are the 'hard men' of movies before the term existed.
The costumes and sets in Beach of the War Gods are something to marvel at. The fight scenes are seamless and bloody, and the pacing is enticing from beginning to end. While the characterizations are a bit thin, well..get with it..this is a kung fu movie, not Pride and Prejudice. All in all, a must-see for fans of the genre.
Another martial arts classic from Jimmy Wang Yu, the difference here being that the film focuses on swordplay (as did Wang Yu's earlier movies, before the fists craze) over the more usual kung-fu activities. But what swordplay it is, with hundreds of extras engaging in all kinds of frenetic battles which are a delight to watch and take up most of the running time of the movie. Wang Yu takes Akira Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI as his inspiration for the simple plot, in which he plays a swordsman who gathers together some of the locality's best men to fight an invading Japanese army. The irony being, of course, that the baddies are the Japanese, and he's ripping off a Japanese film for the story.
This is very much a man's film, in fact there is not one single female characte in it as far as I can remember. After the initial set-up, which takes about an hour, the film becomes one big long battle-cum-massacre which really is classic stuff. The action is excellently filmed and large scale, with swords clashing together in blurs and the top fighters using all manner of exotic skills and weaponry to defeat the enemy. Of course, it wouldn't be a Wang Yu movie without violence, and there's a fair share of that here, especially in the superb blood-spurting windmill duel at the film's conclusion.
BEACH OF THE WAR GODS definitely won't appeal to a mainstream audience, mainly because there is NO characterisation in the film whatsoever. Now I know Hong Kung kung-fu films usually have little characterisation in them anyway, but there's absolutely none here - it's just about men getting ready to fight, and actually fighting. Action lovers will be in movie heaven with the no holds barred fights to the death, and the film - being a fairly expensive Golden Harvest production - has a professional sheen to make it look good with it. A highlight of the genre.
