Cast Member: Max Mok

Like an ultra-violent episode of ‘Hercules’, ‘The Assassin’ is enjoyable while it lasts. Evidence suggests it was not intended to be anything more.

You’d expect a film with Sammo in would have something special in the action department, but even this is very average and certainly not up to his usual quality.

The film is littered with great fights, and sees Yukari at her lethal best stealing the show in the lengthy final reel.
