The fattest, slowest Russell Wong ever caught on film


The only reason I viewed this was because Russell Wong was in the cast, but man, oh man, is this movie awful! The fight scenes are pretty standard fare, but the acting, dialogue, and story are all a bit laughable. Some effort was made to have everything make sense across the various languages and themes, but it was just too much to pull off. Worst of all, Russell Wong is almost unrecognizable. He's got a bit of a belly, his moves are stiff, and he's aged considerably over the past few years. Sure, I can't expect all martial arts performers to have Chuck Norris' longevity, but it's a shame to see Russell's rapid decline.
