Cast Member: Wang Tai-Lang

Chan’s choreography is the only minor highlight, but otherwise this is really only suitable for hardcore Angela Mao fans.

A poor script, uninvolving direction and some tepid fight scenes combine to test even the most forgiving viewer’s patience.

The description for ‘Fighting Ace’ doesn’t exactly make it jump off the page, but it proves to be a better than average effort.

‘Iron Fists’ is packed with varied action, good performances from luminaries like Chen Kuan-Tai and Mang Fei and is constructed in a way that does no shame to its lofty inspiration.

It’s hard not to be drawn into director Wang Yu’s eccentric world with its almost Python-esque techniques and fights.
