Friendly martial arts rivals Tiger (Chin Yuet Sang) and Wu Shing (Alan Chui) leave home and head to town where they find work with Tiger's uncle in his pottery shop. Tiger takes time out from stacking pots to compete in a kung fu competition, which he wins, only to learn that the prize is the hand in marriage of Ting (Michelle Yim), daughter of the wealthiest man in town.On his wedding night, Tiger is keen to consummate the marriage, but Ting, not as happy with the arrangement (Tiger's not blessed in the looks department), orders her husband to bring her three gifts before anything happens in the bedroom. First, he must get hold of a kung fu manual guarded by a mad monk (San Kuai) in his temple. Next, he must secure the jade buttons worn by a transvestite whore (Fung Hak On) at a local brothel. Lastly, he must bring home a ruby worn by an Indian yoga master (Dunpar Singh). With the monk, the whore, and the yogi all adept at martial arts, the three tasks prove exceptionally challenging.Comedy martial arts film Kung Fu vs Yoga features one of the most jaw-droppingly bizarre fight scenes I have ever witnessed: Tiger versus the yogi, whose body contorts in ways that don't seem humanly possible. As Tiger, aided by Wu Shing, attempt to incapacitate the bendy man using poles with ropes, the flexible Indian simply squirms his way out, his limbs and torso twisting in ways that need to be seen to be believed. While this is undoubtedly the film's highlight, the numerous other fight scenes are also very impressive, with the actors performing all manner of well-choreographed acrobatic moves. As a comedy, the film is bit more hit and miss, but its far from the worst of its kind, the rather puerile humour made more bearable by the likeable characters.7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

"Odd" is a relative term when dealing with kung fu movies, but KUNG FU VS. YOGA offers up what can ONLY be described as an odd fight scene. It involves a yoga master who can seemingly pop his limbs out of their sockets at will. It's a bit disjointed, to say the least, and the fighting itself is something less than credible (look closely and you'll realize that the guy isn't fighting so much as break dancing). The lead actor, the toothless "Tiger," comes across as a poor man's Jackie Chan. The humor is of the Old School kung fu movie variety (meaning that it's watered-down Jackie Chan schtick) and the print I saw was of lesser quality, so I can't really recommend this one unless you're one of those people who can watch a movie like FREAKS (the Tod Browning version) and walk away feeling entertained.

Kung Fu vs Yoga is generally a typical martial arts movie--lots of fighting, poor dialogue, and unintentional humor. The earthenware monk is played by a hilarious overactor ("You're going to die! You're go-ing to die!!!"). The ending vs the Yoga master is pretty good, too, but a lot of the movie consists of incredibly long fighting scenes. Make sure to get the version hosted by Rudy Ray Moore, and "Bow down. Bow down. Bow down!" before Dolemite's humor.Most people will be bored by the fighting, or utterly repulsed by the second quest's fight, but if you can get through these, get this movie.

Well worth a viewing just for the Yoga master in the last fifteen minutes. Dubbing's a bit of a nightmare but very funny.
