As a martial movie it has everything to make this a true classic: some great fight scenes, Yuen Biao, big stunts, quality actors, Yuen Biao, likeable characters, an extremely villainous villain that you want to see get his comeupance--and did I say Yuen Biao?

With all of that, I really wanted to like this movie because I'm a fan of Yuen Biao (if you hadn't realized).

I hear you ask, what let this film down? I would have to say its lenience towards the international maket. Don't get me wrong, I love the way that everyone in this film is expendable (I mean everyone), and the dark ending (I've seen both) must been seen to be believed.

Not even the blatant stunt doubling done by Mr. Biao (at times he's doubling for Cynithia Rothrock) or his stunt team isn't that off-putting.

I personally feel that the drive for international appeal has made this film feel a bit lackluster.

We all know that Yuen Biao was the acrobatic leg master of the three brothers. This film is no "Prodigal Son" or "Knockabout", which displayed his outstanding martial abilities in top form.

Even Yuen Biao himself states that he feels this film didn't showcase his ablities.

Don't get me wrong, this is an entertaining watch, but this is far from the best of Mr. Biao's work.

This is what Hong Kong action cinema is all about. It is also a shame that this type of actioner will never be repeated. Yes, we have recent gems like "SPL", "Flash Point", and the likes of Tony Jaa to carry the action flag going forward, but this for me is the essence of true Hong Kong action.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS: "Blonde Fury" (AKA "Righting Wrongs 2"), "Angry Ranger" (VCD only), "Nite Life Hero" (VCD Only), "Outlaw Brothers", "Licence To Steal" (VCD Only), "Dragons Forever", "She Shoots Straight", "Police Story" series.

It's hard to believe that a movie which has almost everything in it, can be so dull and boring! But it is.

It has probably THE worst use of a stunt double ever (for Cynthia Rothrock)!

In another scene, Yuen Biao jumps off the balcony and lands on a fake ground--you can actually see mats move!

But the major problem of the movie is that most of the action is nothing out the ordinary:

The parking garage scene is mostly a bad mix of undercranking, slow mo, and a dummy at one moment.

The "Fight" between Biao and Cunningham is plain boring--hardly any martial arts involved! It makes Chris Tucker from the "Rush hour" series look like a better fighter!

The Biao vs. Rothrock "Fight" is mostly some basic acrobatics performed by Yuen while dodging some objects that Cynthia keeps throwing at him!

On the good side though there are 3 things I liked:

1. A great fight between Rothrock and Karen Shepherd who doesn't play some psychotic, out-of-control bitch but rather a concentrated cold-blooded professional killer.
2. Cynthia's final showdown in the hangar. Fast, furious, brutal. Great stuff!
3. Unlike many other movies, where heroes are always being miraculously saved at the last moment or survive being thrown off a skyscraper and shot dozens of times, in this movie heroes actually die. I really liked the ending (even though it was kinda' stupid).

The Bad: Despite the great choreography, "Righting Wrongs" suffers from poor editing during most of it's action shots. I can't even count how many body doubles were so obviously spotted. For instance, there is an awful closeup of a male body double for Cynthia Rothrock with BLACK hair and dark skin - For some reason, they have him standing-in for a scene that involves a simple kick over a table!? It's ironic, considering the fact that just seconds before this, Cynthia was flying all over the place.

Bottom Line: RWs features all the ingredients that make Hong Kong cinema so tasty.

If you can, get the HK version. I've only seen that version but everybody's saying thit it's far superior to the dubbed international print. The HK version is one of the most pessimistic movies I've seen in my life. More good guys are killed that in your avarage Chang Cheh movie! EVERYBODY dies! The ending is bloody mervelous [they changed it for the international version, because the audience was too shocked]. (SPOILER WARNING HERE) First, we get to see a huge screw pushed through Cynthia Rothrock's neck. Then the main bad guy steals an airplane and tries to escape but of course Yuen Biao makes it on the plane too. During the fight they loose the control of the plane and it crashes and explodes. Fortunately, Yuen Biao managed to jump from the plane. And lands safely in the water below? No, the plane was flying too high and when he hits the water surface, he dies. The last picture is a shot of Yuen Biao's body floating in the water, then the movie ends. Cool? I liked it.
