残缺双雄

A man with disfigured arms (and a pet chimpanzee) wanders across the countryside, eventually intruding on a man with--well, I`m not quite sure what the second guy is suffering from. We`re supposed to think he has no legs, but he clearly has them folded together--so perhaps he`s actually paralyzed below the waist and something got lost in translation. At any rate, the two immediately engage in a battle, with the Thalidomide victim performing some impressive stunts with his feet and a knife whilst his wacky chimp companion somehow manages to bring the bout to a close by destroying a barn. Simple as that, our two crippled heroes now become crippled best buds. Shortly afterwards, they rescue a beautiful young blind woman on the run from local gangsters, and the stage is set for a throwdown against an evil warlord. This film was so successful it spawned a sequel, Crippled Masters, and it`s easy to see why--the disability angle makes the film`s underdogs all the easier to root for and the cast are engaging. Ocean Shores` pan and scan video print (titled Two Crippled Heroes) is watchable and in passable condition.
