Audience Member Follow the adventures of a callow young man who tries to avenge his father that we never see. Watch him get beat up again and again and again until you're literally bored to death with this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member This tale of revenge and kung fu is good on the surface but has one big problem. Fong Sai-Yuk feels the need to avenge the death of his father which makes perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is the fact he never seems to learn his lesson. After going after his evil enemies the first time and getting almost killed, the idea is to train until you are strong enough to beat them. Fong, on the other hand, decides to attack the corrupt martial artists every chance he gets. While it makes for lots of fun kung fu scenes, in reality, the guy wouldn't have made it through the film. He would have been killed well before the end of the film. Luckily, Fong makes it to the end of the film and puts the beat down, finally, and saves the day. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This was an awesome Martial Arts movie, with a great story and it gave you kind of a Bruce Lee feel to it. Fei Meng was incredible in it and I would love to see more of his movies. The mother in this was an expert in the art and taught her son how to be a badass.
