| It's a grab bag. Some good, some bad. There's quite a bit of fighting, but it gets sloppy. The various brawls lack the skill that the better (one on one) fights have.
The way scenes were shot also helps/hurts the fights. Sometimes they shoot from behind things: clothesline with laundry, boxes/debris, or graffiti covered windows. While it does add a fly on the wall perspective, it also interferes with the view of the action. There were also some nice shots of chases through cramped alleys or a fight in a living room with only a couple of knocked over lamps for lighting. Some nice visual touches like that.
The story could have been better. Pretty standard although they skipped the happy ending. Still, it really makes you wonder why they didn't just do that from the begining(you'll understand when you see it).
The characters also seem oblivious to what's happening. They took a vacation while people are out to kill them? They returned from vacation when people are trying to kill them!? They set a woman on fire, had a touching scene at the hospital, then ignored her the rest of the movie!?! This has more holes than a porno. Still, it's solid and enjoyable. It's just a shame that the small problems (script/quality of fights) couldn't have been fixed. This wasn't going to be a
"true" classic, but it could have been a "cult" classic. Right now its selling point is a decent decapitation (kind of cheesy, but still a nice attempt). |

 |  |  |  |  Entertaining but not enthralling. Production values are dodgy. Some good kung fu, but the choreography could have been a little tighter. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  This is an above average 70`s flick starring Ho Chung-Tao. The fights at least show no signs of the usual Bruce Lee cloning. But it's worth a look just for the sheer nostalgia alone. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
