Featured review
Standard kung fu actioner, but it has plenty of energy
KUNG FU'S HERO is a rare and early kung fu vehicle for martial artist Lik Cheung. He plays a cop on the trail of an evil smuggling gang who traffic women for their own nefarious purposes. The film is set in a strange netherworld that looks like it comes from the 19th century in places although at other times features cars and the like.
The film takes a little while to get going with a slow first half an hour. However it soon picks up and around the halfway mark I really started to enjoy it. I should note that there is very little story in this picture, it's mainly just a string of intense fight scenes, one after another, as Cheung works his way through the various bad guys and takes them to pieces.
KUNG FU'S HERO has a great and extended action climax that draws together a car chase, a fight on a beach, characters racing around on push bikes, and some extended one-on-one bouts with various henchmen including a cameoing Bolo Yeung. It's great fun, even if the action choreography is never top tier; the sheer level of enthusiasm involved sees this one through.
