Reception
In a review for fareastfilms.com, reviewer Andrew Saroch wrote, "This is importantly a kung fu comedy and within this sub-genre, it could certainly be considered a solid hit. The infectious quality of the film’s comedy is well coupled with the blistering scenes of martial arts mayhem. With this in mind, 'Treasure Hunters' never has a dull moment and from the opening credits to the very last kicks of the finale this is a top-notch Shaw Brothers' [sic] film. The humour may be a bit too broad for some and perhaps too pervasive, but it's very hard not to be swept along by the sheer exuberance of the production."[3]
