About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want fast, imaginative old-school martial arts action with a wild revenge setup, especially if you liked Five Deadly Venoms or The Kid with the Golden Arm; Not for you if cartoonish violence and campy storytelling put you off.
Pros: inventive fight scenes; strong teamwork angle; fun, campy energy | Cons: thin story; clunky dialogue; repetitive early stretch
