It should be noted that the fight concept at the end of the movie was initially portrayed and used in one of Jackie's early classic (in my opinion) "The Young Master." This movie is a keeper and should fit well in any serious Kung Fu collection.
 

The storyline is okay, easy to follow, and the emotional content flows well and properly intertwined with each of the main characters. The action choreography is what we have been praying for and definitely a throwback to the glory HK days of action. I am not sure what more one is looking for in an action movie. Definitely recommended to anyone that likes HK action and an excellent addition to any HK film library.
 

The movie seemed more like a runway shoot for some preppy cute young actors and actresses. There were some action scenes with unnecessary shootings where bullets did not hit intended targets especially with a couple of snipers shooting aimlessly at each other.

Michael Biehn's role as a villian was limited due to language barriers, but he was exceptional. Maggie Q was more of a figure head character without a major role. The drama scenes were good, but overall this was an average movie.
 

"Circus Kids" did not end. The movie cut off abruptly before getting to the climax of the action scenes. There were a few good fight scenes featuring Yuen Biao, Ken Lo, and Donnie Yen. I was actually surprised to see Bey Logan (perhaps there'll be a Dragon Dynasty release of this movie). The movie also features a very horrible English dub that does not match the pace of the movie.

"High Voltage" is an all-out action movie featuring Donnie Yen. I could not make it past the first 20 minutes as the plot was weak and the action was senseless due to poor job exhibited by Video Asia.

Hopefully there'll be a better print for both movies.
 

Film Facts:

• Lau Kar-leung played Ba Shuang, a disciple of "Long Armed Devil"

When I first saw this movie back in the 80s, it was one of my favorite HK flix, but after seeing it again, it's down on my list due to poor editing and some stupid plots. Melvin Wong did a fantastic job as the villain.

I enjoyed fight scenes between Biao and Peter Sugarfoot Cunningham (which could have been more elaborate and longer) as well as the duel between Cynthia Rothrock and Karen Shephard...and lets not forget the Biao and Rothrock fight.
 

The plot was a major downside in this movie, clearly lackluster and didn't seem like an effort was made to make sure that the viewer was kept in sync.
