Viewing Notes

This is a lot more fun than my first review of this would have led me to believe. The action is great, especially the fight in the apartment complex to protect the old man and the final battle, and the comedy is goofy but mostly fun. I’d still love to own the original non-dubbed version as the dubbing, especially for Eric Tsang’s character drives me a little nuts.
