Viewing Notes
Angela Mao is badass!
She has a sequence against Sammo Hung that is pure dynamite. Wild that Carter Wong is set up to be hero but totally overshadowed by Angela Mao.
Basically this is a Kung Fu vs. Muay Thai in the ring where kung fu style suffers in the close quarter fighting. Outside the ring Kung Fu dominates. Really good movie that also falls into that “I Must Avenge My Master” territory.
