These old kung fu flicks are the exception because there often isn't an alternative. I don't grade off for deteriorating conditions , cropped images, or bad dubbing because it's not the maker's fault. If I want to watch an obscure Lo Lieh or Angela Mao film, it's the price my ears have to pay.
I’ve seen movies that the dubs may suddenly go to German or another language and then back to English again. Or revert back to Mandarin or Cantonese with no subs. 😵💫 But yes, the dubs are annoying. Thankfully, they don’t try to use a “Chinese” accent but it’s also jarring when you hear a Brooklyn, Spanish, and/or American southern accent all in one film. 🤦🏻♀️ There is one team that has dubbed a lot of kung fu films that sounds like maybe two men and one woman doing all the voices in a “neutral” accent. That’s assuming there’s only one team, some movies have multiple layers of dubbing. 😆
And then there is the voice dubbing for actors who speak either Cantonese or Mandarin and are dubbed in the other. And the dubbed version is an octave higher than their real voice.
To watch these old niche films one has to accept the flawed, very flawed,
nature of their condition. 👐🏻
There are three different versions on YT. All cropped and dubbed in English.
Almost to the end of my marathon, hoping to avoid more serpent violence.

and Tubi
Both are under 18 Shaolin Riders and both are dubbed in English ☹️
I haven't seen Noryang yet. It's in my Prime to be watched list. Did you watch it? Currently in the midst of my martial arts marathon. Hi-yah!
Here on YT it's not dubbed:
