This film is unfairly underated its a action masterpiece Doesn't anyone agree??.

I totally agree the fact that Sammo actually lost weight to do the fights scenes is just amazing.

I rate this as one of Sammo's masterpieces, and many seem to think that it's his best directorial achievement.

Even though the UK version released here is cut (not for violence; it was to remove an animal cruelty scene in which Yuen Biao rips a snake apart), it wasn't enough to ruin it, and you really wouldn't have known something was missing (I certainly didn't until earlier in 2005 and I first saw the film in 1998).

i had forgotten about the snake torture scene and watched the movie again yesterday.
i sure dont hope it was yuen biao that killed the snake(pressed out its heart) ..but... ugh.

Agreed, this film has mabey the best blend of kung fu and gun play I've ever sean.

This is one of my all time favourites. It's a stunning movie. Extremely well directed and acted by all concerned. Sammo has rarely looked better and he got the best from all involved. This was also the first Hong Kong action film that I ever saw on the big screen. Back in 1988, playing to a packed cinema, it was one of the biggest thrills of my life to that point (I was only 16!).

You forget all the things, you just do it!

Definitely underrated action film and it deserves far more exposure. All star cast -- many Hong Kong greats of the past, present and future. Some obvious rip-offs from the Dirty Dozen & Deer Hunter but it made it all the more entertaining. I tell all my friends about it and also buy copies to give away as gifts.

I was pleasently surprised when I first saw this movie a few years back. It was much better than I expected it to be, i give it a 8 out of 10 and once again yes, it is one of the best things Sammo has done in his career.

WATCH "I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE" Excellent B horror/comedy!

I agree. Damn good movie with lots of well-crafted action!

reply

I didn't expected the movie to be so awesome and full of action, Sammo rules!

reply

yes %100 im a huge fan of sammo hung the same with jackie chan .Its amazing the fight scenes in this movie .as well as seeing a 200 lb man throw his weight around like a guy half his size

reply

I saw it first time yesterday, and my first thought after it ended was; "Wow, that was one of the least boring movies I've seen of late!" A couple of weeks ago I didn't even know about it.

It's rarely mentioned when people are ranking action-movies, which is sad because it deserves much more attention. Hong Kong filmmakers certainly worked under the right philosophy during the 80s. Something intense had to happen every single minute.

Yeah i love hong kong action films they are actually that crazy enough to go all the way with it.I think they put american action stars to shame just for the simple fact that.There is less of a safety net when they do action in their films and its more practical.
