Viewing Notes

The introduction sets up a premise that hopefully can only get better (“You teach lousy kung fu; I’m here to correct it.”). None of the marquee stars but entertaining.

The central focus is around that one super badass that schools everyone he meets. The five he embarrasses in the beginning of the movie go off to train and level up to fight him by the end. Decent Shaw flick. I’d watch again but not on El Rey.
