Baai ga jai (1981)
Lam Ching Ying's best performance. Rest in peace.
Most kung-fu movies either have no story and great fight scenes or horrible fight scenes and a solid story. It's not often you come across one that has a great story and some of the best fight scenes ever made. The Prodigal Son is one of Sammo Hung's best movies. Lam Ching Ying's use of Wing Chun is exceptional. Very reminiscent of Bruce Lee's training videos. This movie presents Wing Chun in it's real form, direct and in your face. The 2 fights that are of exceptional mention are Lam Ching Ying against Frankie Chan and Yuen Biao vs. Sammo Hung (when his daughter calls him to beat Yuen). Tactful and beautifully choreographed for the first fight. Blazing speed and non-stop action for the second. All in all, the best Wing Chun movie ever made. If you like this movie, you should also check out "Warriors 2" with Sammo Hung, Cassanova Wong and Liang Jia Ren (Knockabout).

What the hell was this movie made for!?!?!?!?
The only reason I can vaguely fathom for the making of this utter piece of crap, is that they saw a way to cash in from swooning Johnny Depp crazed women. The movie made no sense what so ever!!! I understand the fact that they would like continue the franchise, but for crap sakes, make the movie worth at least the admission. The worst part about it is that the way they ended the movie, you know the next one will be crap too! The only redeeming fact about this movie is that Johnny Depp can act! His presence was the only thing that kept me going through this crap-fest. I can't believe this made more money than Superman Returns. It shows you where the entertainment world is going......straight to the dogs!
