Must sea for the seaker of the "ultimate truth" January 21, 2002

An amazing video which, at the first glance seems one more of many Martial Art movies arround and has a possibility of not being picked up by a person in-search of the "ultimate" or expecting some suppost in his/her "spiritual journey. However, I found the message very interesting, simple, short and powerful - like all ZEN sayings. A must watch! Not to be missed! Better late than never!

Fantastic movie - part action kicker, part Zen tutorial. Carradine is wicked as the great wise man, and the bad-guys are so unbelievably good it's remarkable. 'Cord', our hero, travels around the countryside having fights, in order to reach the temple of infinite knowledge. The film starts with a fighting contest and really the plot sort of carries on in that vain. The philosophy is added by the blind man, our hero Carradine. He rescues Cord from his own innocence and ignorance and generally guides him on his quest. Of course when he meets the big boss-man, he's a nice guy - another one who went all the way - I won't spoil it by giving too much away. Fantastic. Highly entertaining and worth a shot even if you hate kung-fu movies.

If you ever wanted to hear some of the most quotable lines in a movie, watch this. Somewhere between philosophy and action, Zen and Martial Arts. Makes you wonder why all films aren't made with such thought and insight.Well ahead of it's time. Will remain a classic among the few who have seen it.
I use this Video to teach my students January 13, 2002

I have been looking for a studio copy of this video for a number of years. To see the light come on in the eyes of a student and to know that Enlightenment is there if only for a moment, like lighting flashing on a dark night, showing the way to travlers, it is enough.
silent flute-the quest for zen February 4, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
proof that you dont need eyes to truly see, one has only to be aware.
tale of a 'life journey', with all the trials and pitfalls, all the freaks & distractions, dark fears,ultimate wishes, zen, the search to find yourself, only to find you already had!
forget about jackie chan etc, this film was written by martial artists in loving memory of the original.
personaly, i think this is the ultimate martial arts movie, maybe not for the action, but definately for its content.
