| The sole good idea the producers behind Fighting Fist had was putting Sibelle Hu in leather. Not often associated with sexiness, Hu owns the screen even when doing nothing but much derails as soon as clothes are changed. Standard story of vigilante actions and the morals that come with the territory are mixed up to poor effect, with only sparse, highly indistinguishable action on display. About half a tussle between Chin Kar-Lok and Ken Lo is worth it before the former buys the farm in a welcome, macabre way. Welcome in a sense that the movie could've benefited from this excursion but director Casey Chan utilizes his momentum extremely poorly. Relocating to Japan and introducing training sequences akin to the old school kung fu movie furthermore illustrates the poor fit Chan's elements are. Sonny Chiba also appear sporadically. |
