It moves along at a decent pace, has some good comedy, and the story is interesting enough so that you won’t have trouble waiting around for the next fight. The 3 leads give good performances, even this Mang Chui guy is competent performing the shapes choreography.
Fung Hak On. His character reminds me of the role he played in Legend of a Fighter, which made me think he was just going to have a goofy fight or 2, but it was a nice surprise to see him tear up the screen in the final fight. Easily one of the best fights of his career.
Also Lee Hoi San. It was nice to see him in a comedic lead role where he actually gets to show his fighting skills, unlike Fist and Guts.
As of 11-23-2010, I’m pretty sure this is only available on VCD. But don’t let that stop you from getting it. The picture quality is very watchable. The burnt in subtitles are very hard to read on my small TV, but I watched it at a friend’s house who has a much bigger TV and I didn’t have a problem reading the subtitles there.
