How did it get made?
As a martial artist and screenwriter, I have to say this is probably the worst theatrical release martial arts film I've ever seen (not including direct to DVD stuff though)
You know something is bad when you're not an action writer and seeing such a film makes you think "I bet i could do better than that" and the next day you have a go and 6 weeks later you've got a better product than what you watched.
Most of the scenes seem to be adlibed (and badly) - the main character can't fight yet the 'manager' seems to think he's good ..... and so do the goons he wants him to fight for - and the fight choreography is a mess.
To me the best thing that came out of this movie was it driving me to write a better one because it's so bad.
