A solid gung-fu action thriller : WARNING! one minor spoiler.
26 May 2005
Warning: Spoilers
If you liked "Black Mask" for it's kung-fu (pronounced gung-fu in Asia) action, you will love the final gung-fu battle of this movie. Trying to fight a battle with a more than worthy opponent AND the house is filling up with gas fumes. Very clever.

The girl is annoying in the first half of the film, but that is usually the case in Hong Kong films of this nature. The ladies are written to be comic relief.

I can not comment on the dubbing as I have seen the original Chinese version on TV here in China, but usually the dubbing in these older Chinese action films is hilariously bad. You may have fun with that as well. This is not the type of film you want to take seriously. It is a escapist gung-fu police thriller.

My only beef is that I would have liked to have seen more gung-fu action and a little less gun play. It is a nice action rental to kick back and watch with friends.
