The action in this movie is the kind of action that makes you say, "Daamm!! Did you see that?!" I could vividly see the downtown movie theater exploding with excitement, with every action scene.

I have to admit the start was a little slow, but something keeps you glued. Maybe it's the anticipation or curiosity of seeing martial arts cinema's newest sensation, Jeeja Yanin, strut her stuff. Or maybe it was the track record of the filmmaking team that produced this film and Tony Jaa's two smash hits. Whatever the reason, this film captivates the viewer.

The fight choreography is innovative and exciting and long overdue! My only hope is that the stunt men didn't permanentely injure themselves. Stunt work should be realistic LOOKING, without get seriously injured. Safety should always be the priority for any filmmaker!

All in all, this is a very engaging film. Go get it!

Engrossing plot about a spoiled, wealthy but illiterate martial artist who tries to capture the heart of a young lady by winning a competition that would award him the title of KUNG FU SCHOLAR. Events end up casting him and his father out of their home and into the streets as beggars for eternity. Add in some plot twists and the two find themselves in an all-out war between the beggars and corrupt officals.

This movie is definitely worth checking out. However, I would have liked to have seen more of the great hand-to-hand kung fu battles that Cheung Yan and his team constructed in some of the earlier scenes. Also, some of the wire work and speeding up of the film didn't work for me.

The unscrupulous uncle quickly tricks his naive nephew into playing snooker, for money, even though the nephew has sworn to his father that he would not gamble in the big city. The uncle soon finds himself behind the 8 ball when he must mislead his brother into gambling the family land on the island to secure a life changing wager.

The wager: Lung (Chow) must defeat real life snooker champion Jimmmy White in a snooker competition, in order to save the family land.

In between the snooker action, which is quite entertaining, Chow is his usual humorous self, revealing that he has narcolepsy and falls asleep at the most inappropriate times. Stephen Chow is a master at physical comedy.

Don't expect too much martial arts in this one. It's all about the comedy and snooker. There are a few fight scences choreographed by Corey Yuen Kwai and Yuen Wah in various parts of the film. However, they are very short in length and lack a little imagination.

Chow, being a Bruce Lee super fan, references Bruce a few times in the film, when Yuen Wah's character informs us that he worked as a stunt double on Mr. Lee's films.

Look out for brief cameos by Amy Yip and Lee Hoi San, to round out the cast.

To sum it all up LEGEND OF THE DRAGON is an okay film that shows Stephen Chow's upcoming comedy greatness that would soon be arriving in the likes of SHAOLIN SOCCER and KUNG FU HUSTLE.

Lau Kar-Leung has done it again! The fun and creative story was a nice change from the mediocre revenge stories usually produced by Hong Kong film companies.

The story centers around the star of the show, Kara Hui Ying-Hung (YOUNG AUNTIE), who must marry her dying sifu in order to keep his inhertiance and estate from the sifu's evil brother, played by the reliable Wang Lung-Wei. The safest way to keep the inheritance out of the evil brother's hands and stay alive is to deliver the sifu's last will and testament to one of his kung fu practicing nephews (Lau Kar-Leung) in Canton. Sounds pretty easy, until the nephew's son (played by the energetic Hsiao Ho) can't come to grips with his youthful great AUNTIE's prescence and spends most of the film devising pranks and challenges to show her who's boss.

Once the silliness concludes, the REAL kung fu starts! With the action direction of Lau Kar-Leung, with the help of Ching Chu and Hsiao Ho, YOUNG AUNTIE explodes with some fantastic martial arts choreography. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, Lau Kar-Leung has done more to promote true martial arts in film than any other film star except Bruce Lee.

Add in great performances by Tong Wai Shing, Yung Moon, and a cameo from Gordon Lui Chia-Hui and the silliness in act two was somewhat tolerable. I also enjoyed the film opening Hung Fist form by Lau Kar Leung.

The movie centers around three martial arts students and their master seeking revenge on a mysterious and very angry kung fu villian, played by Kwan Feng, who enjoys challenging and humiliating local kung fu masters.

The story gets interesting when the three students run away from their sifu after he loses face in a defeat to this traveling master of disaster. The students run away to learn better fighting skills in order to take revenge for their embarrased teacher.

The students eventually find masters to teach them various kung fu skills and now it's revenge time.

Hats off to action director Hsu Hsia and the always flawless Hau Chiu Sing. "Five Superfighters" is a very entertaing kung fu film.
