Featured review
Drags on with no attempt to relieve the monotony
The movie starts with five minutes of training and fighting and no dialog until Lau Wing (the lawyer in "Back Alley Princess") defends himself against a knife in the back and kills a man. It's the general's only son so it is complicated.
Sammo Hung appears in this movie. It is a Golden Harvest production filmed in South Korea with Sammo as action director and Wu Ma as the director. Sammo and his gang play the typical one-dimensional Japanese bad guys. They rob, kill, and lust for Chinese ladies. These activities fill the movie as it drags along to the climactic big tournament. The gang has been killing off the contenders to guarantee a win. Their brilliant plan fails. Our hero wins the tournament and all is right, everyone is happy, and the world is a nice place once again.
My copy is a digital file that plays on a HDTV as wide screen but the picture is small. The dialog is Chinese with English subtitles.
I first watched this movie back in 2015. I wrote some notes and intended to post a review here but didn't. Now I am back to watch it again and post my review. I really wish I had done that in the first place because no one should have to watch this movie twice. The fatal flaw is the action sequences all look alike, are all basic stuff with minimal effort apparent in the execution, and no attempt at anything beyond that.
