THE ART OF WAR BY SUN TZU is a strange title for this stock, very low budget kung fu movie from Taiwan. The film flirts with the wuxia genre but never has the budget to do the subject matter justice and as a result it's a bit of a chore to watch, even for genre fans. I saw it under the generic title CHALLENGE OF THE INVINCIBLES, which is still irrelevant but at least less irrelevant than the Sun Tzu title. I should note that this film has nothing to do with Sun Tzu, at least not until the last few minutes.
What we get is a generic plot about a group of heroes fighting double-crossers and bad guys and engaging in stock fight scenes. Eddy Ko is the villain of the piece, dressed smartly and looking brooding but otherwise doing very little. The comic relief guy is really annoying especially with his ludicrous dubbing. Yueh Hua is here too, dressed in white as always, and probably the coolest thing about this otherwise deservedly obscure movie.
