Viewing Notes

Not sure I’ve seen a South Korean straight up kung-fu film… unless I just didn’t know it. This is the second film on the kung-fu flipper disc from Netflix and better than the first. Not by much however. But the fighting is better probably b/c Casanova Wong was the action director in addition to being the main star.

Watchable but not all that great with an overly complicated plot to get our hero to fight. At least this one was widescreen. Not one I’d likely revisit with better choices out there.
