Cast Member: Mai Kei

A great set up is unfortunately wasted via odd creative choices, too much focus on comedy-romance and a reliance on grating theatrics.

The final reel is raw power and energy as Sammo takes on a small army of goons before meeting his match in Billy Chow.

It was impossible to match the original classic, but Chan pulled out all of the stops to make sure he gave it his best.

Although this film is not his very best, it is still worth watching for Hong Kong newcomers and is a definite recommendation for Chow completists.

Ultimately lacking in great cinematography or even much of a plot, the name of the game is to excite the audience in as many ways possible.
