Elements of Madness
If you’re looking to expand what you know of HK cinema, "The Postman Fights Back" is a solid entry point. If this is a first-time watch, don’t let the art fool you, it’s not wall-to-wall action, but you’re going to feel it.

The fights are awesome. Fans of Chow Yun-Fat, Leung Kar-Yan, Mei Sheng Fan and Eddy Ko should like it especially. Yu (Bride with White Hair, Fearless) displays talent, especially in the spectacular ice skating sequence. A machine gun and dynamite, you just don't get that in most Kung Fu flicks.

Early days for Ronny Yu and Chow Yun Fat. There were some good fight scenes and stunts as the characters deliver a package as they face danger with the bad guys. Otherwise it's a paper thin story.

Early Chow Yun-Fat martial-arts actioner. He's the most well known star in the film but he plays second fiddle to Leung Kar-Yan who plays a postman leading a small band of misfits on a treacherous journey to deliver a secret cargo to a power hungry warlord. It's a fairly straight forward story which is littered with silly and ludicrous moments typical of these types of films, but it's a pretty eventful film with a fight scene sporadically springing up almost every 5 minutes out of nowhere. But these action scenes are over too quickly and the movie really needed a big set piece to break up the monotonous routine of the small skirmishes. There's a couple of memorable and unique moments along the way - Chow Yun-Fat using martial-arts for a start - but this is far from a great film, but an entertaining one none-the-less. Bizarrely director Ronny Yu ended up in Hollywood directing horror flicks like "The Bride of Chucky" and "Freddy Vs. Jason".
