A Fong Sai Yuk Classic
I'll begin by saying that this is a 'mainland' (and not Hong Kong) extravaganza. I forget the year of release (1987?) and don't have any info on the actors (who all do a great job)- I really wish I did have more info, because its worth knowing something about the people in this instance. Basically this is a Fong Sai Yuk story, and I think its up there with Jet Li's versions (though it is less 'comedy' oriented. This movie has been released in America by Arena video under the stupid title "Iron Man" - how annoying! The box cover, title, and movie synop. have nothing to do with the content (Arena: Be Gone!!). "But still", at least watch it: Its full of great costumes, beautiful broad mainland scenery (something you seldom got with Shaw Studios, which always relied on the same movie sets), great fights. Picture quality is very good. Also, I've noticed it gets better and better with each viewing. In fact, it ranks at the top for repeated viewability. There are lots of Fong Sai Yuk movies out there, and some are not very good: Don't make the mistake of passing this up, not if you enjoy the genre. I give it 8 1/2 stars out of 10.
