Mismatched Couples (product link) Romance / Martial Arts
 This 1985 flick is about a breakdancer (Donnie Yen) who shelters a down and out homeless man (Yuen Wo-Ping).
Of main interest is the comedy pairing of Yen and Yuen. You will benefit from witnessing the athleticism of a young Donnie in only his second feature. Yuen, who's better known behind the camera, also shows that he enjoys performing in front of it.
If you hanker for the 80s, its synthesized music and especially robot breakdancing, then this movie is really for you. The rest of us will just watch it, amused that this was actually once a hip thing to do in public without fear of being ridiculed.
There's decent comedy struck between Yen, his sister, his cousin, and Yuen. The targeted viewer age was definitely between 10 and 30 years. Still enjoyable to recommend as it's lighthearted fun. |
