| This early Yuen Biao vehicle is an entertaining blend of light comedy and some of the best soccer sequences ever committed to film. Here, Ah Biao stars as an acrobatic country hick from the sticks who must flee out of town after inadvertently injuring a wealthy socialite during an innocent competition. While exploring the area, he runs into a soccer team who discovers his talents, and subsequently joins the team. Despite the martial arts adept cast, there is little to no fisticuffs duels in this film, instead, the action all involves well choreographed soccer games that are every bit as exhilarating. Yuen Biao, at the prime of his career, gives a fun performance, while Dick Wei provides a great portrayal as the arrogant villain. An underrated gem that unfortunately does not receive the attention it deserves. |
