About
If you enjoy old-school rival-school showdowns with frequent brawls and a straightforward story, this should hit the spot; Not for you if you want nuanced villains or minimal harassment themes like in Fist of Fury.
Pros: lots of fights; strong lead presence; solid pacing | Cons: barebones story; some vulgar moments; dated, stagey action
