Satisfying Chop Socky
8 August 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

If you are looking for pure chop socky, then this film is for you. It doesn't waste a lot of time with meaningless dialog unrelated to fighting. It is basically Chinese "I'm gonna kick your ass, sucka." I heard the other day that QT is planning a similar type movie in his grindhouse vein with badly dubbed dialog or subtitles. He should watch this film for guidance as it epitomizes the genre.

Fei Meng gives a great performance as the son out to avenge his father. He takes two brutal ass-kickings before he gets his stuff together. (Reminds you of Rocky) The only problem is that you will be hungry for more an hour later.
