"main feature delivers a fun, albeit highly chaotic Filipino martial arts romp starring Ron Van Clief and Leo Fong that thrives on its raw, unfiltered drive-in energy. While the movies themselves are gloriously campy and rough around the edges, the real value for boutique collectors lies in the second disc, which unloads a staggering 282 minutes of Something Weird’s classic Martial Arts Mayhem VHS trailers."
"AGFA strike again with these 2 films, one a crazy kung fu film with stars Leo Fong and Ronnie Van Clief, the other a biker revenge movie with 6 sports people from the '70s exacting revenge. One can feel the air of a grindhouse theatre as they are played on your TV, gritty experiences on celluloid. The slipcover looks amazing and this was one of those film sets that I ordered immediately instead of waiting for a sale."
"Black Panther of Shaolin is a terrible movie and there isn't much more to say. Everything about it is total amateur hour and the quality of the print is awful so it is ugly to look at on top boring to watch. The Black Six is a step up on all aspects and saves the disc, but still pretty low standard blaxploitation. The story is decent, the acting is acceptable, so it seems like a masterpiece in comparison to Black Panther."
"The black six is a great mvoe. The other ones i didn't enjoy that much. But there ios a ton of extra stuff on the discs"
"NO one!!!"
"The Black Panther of Shaolin is a fast‑paced martial arts film that delivers solid fight choreography and classic Shaw Bros energy. The story is straightforward, but the skilled action sequences and charismatic lead make it engaging from start to finish. Fans of kung fu cinema will appreciate the stylish moves and old-school cinematic flair."
"For my full detailed review of these films, see my entry on Letterboxd: @M4N14K The amzing Martial Arts Mayhem bonus disc is the best thing about this release… for both better and worse! I viewed these films on The Black Panther of Shaolin + The Black Six AGFA/Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray Limited Edition physical media release and it is the same great premium level of packaging and presentation that you’ve come to expect from the generic releases of this boutique label. No other brand beats Vinegar Syndrome at the cardboard game and this great slipcover is no exception to the consistently fantastic artwork and component quality this company produces."
"A fantastic double feature with two genuine Grindhouse classics from the 70s. Both flicks were preserved from pretty beat up 35mm prints, but they are crisp and in HD. I mainly bought this for "The Black Six", as I collect Blaxploitation movies. It's a hoot and "Black Panther of Shaolin" is a decent trashy Martial Arts flick. The artwork on this AGFA release is outstanding and fitting. I am glad that they inlcuded subtitles for both features, as the dialogues can be hard to follow sometimes, especially if English is not your first language. The supplements include over 275 minutes worth of classic martial arts trailers! That is amazing. The downside is that they are only in SD, so don't expect new restored trailers. Still a great addition."
"Great collection of films and trailers. I have only recently started getting into martial arts films and these are fun"
"Includes actual dialogue about Peter Wong being the wrong Peter"
