If you thought that you were running low on patience when watching "The Big Boss", when Bruce just kept taking it and clutching his little promise medallion, then give this one a whirl! And I'll guarantee that you will rip your hair out and scream at the screen, "FOR THE LOVE OF BUDDHA, STRAP ON A PAIR AND KICK SOME FUCKING AAAASSSSS!!!"

This guy makes Jesus look like he needs anger management. The bad guys beat, stab, rape and kill everyone that this guy cares about. They kick his ass repeatedly and stiff him out of his pay. And he just stands there and takes it, like a slab of meat with a stupid pudding bowl haircut. Aaaargh, it's so friggin' frustrating!

In the end, he finally grows some stones and wigs out on the villains. But by then, it is just too little, too late.

It also doesn't help that the actor, Chen Wo Fu, is dull as can be, and looks slightly retarded. Just a big lumbering lurch with a vacant stare, the grace of an epileptic at a laser show, and the charisma of wet cardboard. He apparently killed himself before the movie was released... yeah, no shit! He was probably embarrassed, or saw an early screening, and just couldn't take it anymore, much like I couldn't. It was like watching that one kid at the playground, who just kept getting picked on and picked on, without ever standing up for himself. Man, this was beyond aggravating.

The whole laid back Tai Chi-self restraint philosophy wasn't lost on me, but this was ridiculous. I don't wanna' see the hero (and I use the term loosely here) turn the other cheek, much less take it in the tailpipe, in my kung fu movies. If you do, then by all means, go ahead and watch this. I dare you to sit through it without grabbing your gat and shooting the TV, Elvis style, out of sheer anger and annoyance. Enjoy.
