| Taiwanese madness is the order of the day and a number of incredibly odd tangents starts early as director Chiu Chung-Hing clearly isn't interested in conveying the plot. Triad boss behaviour of the bizarre kind towards dogs and then we're off in ninja ghoul territory but wait, here's where the plot actually kicks in! Concerning gangsters and a family of movie special effects makers, Chiu unleashes all manners of creativity on screen because this family are masters at what they do, plus good fighters and acrobats too as it turns out. The energy isn't quite on par with Jackie Chan's work but it's almost equally infectious. As a movie, A Heroic Fight doesn't matter but it sets itself up as nonsense and is fun to follow because of it. Starring Lin Hsiao-Lan, Dick Wei and Yuen Cheung-Yan. |
