Excellent fight choreography but the very capable heroes don't have the charisma of other Shaw heroes like Gordon Liu, Kuo Chiu, or Fu Sheng. The wacky comedic instances kind of unbalance the film, but the fights make up for it. An example of this is one of the good guys uses links of dried fish like nunchucks to fight off some bad guys. A rarity for a Shaw Brothers film is that there were several scenes filmed outdoors away from closed sets. The natural scenery looks great and refreshing from seeing the same indoor sets used in several other movies. The film began to remind me of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao movies, especially at the freeze frame at the very end. |
