Kung Fooey

Among other carny-style curiosities, the 1979 kung fu film The Crippled Masters features an evil hunchbacked warlord, a warrior who lost the use of his legs when the warlord poured acid on ’em, and another hunchback victim who had both arms severed for some undisclosed slight. Andrew Borntreger of Badmovies.com termed the cult abomination “handicap fu,” and it’s a perfect term for this laughable piece of Hong Kong hooey. That said, you’ll love it.
