Prodigal Son

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I will begin by stating my #1 kung fu movie of all time is "Fist of Legend".(Jet Li. If you haven't seen this title....Please do, it is a remake of Bruces' classic "Fist of Fury" and it surpassess it...Majorly, and don't question me, it's the best ever.) This is #3 in my top 10..
Yep, it's amazing. I just hope you go get it, for your sake.

Th story is deep, (Revenge is only a fraction of the plot.)and it has very likable characters. Lam Ching Ying is the best in this film. Biao is awsome, but it's all about the Wing Chun master. This exciting form, just about never caught on film,(It's the first time I've seen it besides the fantasy title "Wing Chun" with Michelle Yoeh[Also great]) has juiced me up to try to find a school of Wing Chun. I've always wanted to take up a style, and I've found one. Exhilarating!!

The action direction won an award in China. This choreography can be compared to Yuen Woo Ping's brilliance because it shows just the right angle you need to see at just the right time. The editing is delicious! Slow motion shots, hard hitting realism, and tons of it. Sammo moves like a limber gymnast here, definately in top form. Lam Ching Ying will entertain you with his awe-inspiring technique, while the popcorn flies in your mouth and your eyes bug out at the screen.

Pure action and adventure for any adult!....Wow.

I gotta agree with everyone. This movie is really good, and the fights are fantastic(ranking right along side Fist of Legend for pure brutality). The fighters perform their moves fast and realistic, like they're really trying to hit each other. It's not like other movies where it seems they are being too flashy showing off moves rather than actually fighting. You'll need the slo-mo feature on your dvd to capture all the cool choreography in this one. Also, i don't think people are stressing this enough; besides Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, and Lam Ching Ying, there is another great reason to see this...the incredible Frankie Chan! He makes a great and formidable villain(although he's not quite the bad guy that one would expect...he has respect for his opponents, which makes him a very cool antagonist in the film). ANY kung fu film worth its salt has a formidable villain(otherwise, how would the hero be able to show off his skills?). Also, if you're price conscious(as in cheap) and think all of us who are giving rave reviews are exaggerating, there is a new version that costs less than $10! For that price, surely you can't pass up a chance to see what may become your next favorite kung fu film can you? Highly recommended!

Two of the best martial arts film actors of all time play great roles in this film. Yuen Biao is a rich man's son who thought he was a tough fighter, but comes to find out his father's been secretly paying men to lose the fights. After finding out Yuen begs a martial arts master from an opera troop to train him. The man refuses, but Yuen's father buys the opera troop and lets his boy travel with the opera to try and get the man to teach him martial arts. The man eventually gives in, but then a murder plot to kill him sends them both into seclusion at the man's brother's (Sammo Hung) house. The brother is also a martial arts master and teaches Yuen and tricks his brother into accepting Yuen as his student. Soon after the man is murdered and Yuen must seek to prove himself. This movie is worth it just to see Sammo Hung twirling a paint brush. It's yet another movie where he steals the show with his awesome martial arts skills. Yuen Biao is an excellent pupil and triumphs in the end. Go buy it. It's a must have.
