Kind of a campy and to my mind, underrated Shaw flick. Set in Thailand, the movie has a different feel to it and makes good use of some beautiful Thai locations as well as the splendid Shaw sets.
The fight scenes are decent and Chen Hui-Min far outshines both David Chiang and Lo lieh in that departement.Lieh delivers another despicable villain, but one with a little more depth than usual.
Although a basic revenge plot, there is a little more meat on the story than your basic old schooler, some twists, family secrets and backstory to tie things together.
Throw in some cute girls, bad 70's outfits and a secret Shaolin death move and you've got yourself a pretty enjoyable film.
It's not for everybody, but Shaw collectors and David Chiang fans should most def check it out. |
