Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. PacificNil – ★★★½
   “‘Die Pranke des gelben Tigers’ is a hard-hitting Eastern from Taiwan with brutal fights but little suspense. The struggle of a native people against capitalist land robbers makes the film almost politically correct in today’s sense—but only almost.”

2. Der_Witte – ★★★
   “Watched as part of the ‘Todesbox des Kung-Fu Vol. 2,’ another VHS rip, but closer to 2.35:1 aspect ratio, hui! No opening credits. This is an old-school Eastern set among Taiwanese indigenous peoples, complete with jungle flair, shacks, feather decorations, and fire dances.”
