Bloodthirsty Version Of Kung Fu Kombat


Sanitised Version Of Kung Fu Kombat

Bloodthirsty Super Action Heroes Versions

I had already suspected that the Super Action Heroes range featured two types of transfer images when a fellow collector spied my Kung Fu Kombat set on this site and confirmed that he possessed a 'bloodthirsty' version of the same title. Many thanks to Ian for loaning me his used set to scan and present here as conclusive evidence.

Ian's set is full of blood and gore - the prime example being the poor victim shown top-left having his eyes poked out. No wonder the censors had words! My version has all blood and gore removed along with all 'blade' type weapons (though the dangerous-looking mace-like clubs remain in-situ).

Of course, until we obtain examples of every such set, we'll never know exactly which sets were produced in both 'gory' and 'toned-down' versions - but browsing the Super Action Heroes gallery, there is evidence that suggests ther were others - for example the blood present in the Batman - Look Out Gotham... title.

Hopefully as time passes, more evidence will come to light to allow a definitive list to be collated. For now, to view the entire 'Bloodthirsty' Kung Fu Kombat set, click here.
