| I had high hopes for this and, having read the synopsis thought i'd give it a try. Wish i hadn't. The main premise is there but somehow nothing quite fits. The spoofs on movies are so badly done that they just become annoying. How hard is it to pick the Top 10 HK actioners and spoof them? Obviously impossible here as they haven't even managed to pick the top ten, let alone spoof them to any humorous degree. James Lew and his partner in crime are fine. (It's a documentary right? you can't act being yourself badly?) The guest stars/cameos don't make it worth the asking price. The comedy is lame so much in fact you think you're watching a film made by couple of guys from down your street.
Martial arts is a niche market and ripe for a good spoof but if you're going to go down the Chris Guest, Spinal Tap route then you need to do more work than ended up on screen here, And have a little more respect for your audience...
Rent it if you really must see it. But if you decide to buy it. Don't say i didn't warn you. |
