Viewing Notes
Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that Yuen Woo-ping co-stars in this comedy and is pretty good portraying the nerdy sidekick to Yen’s cocky cool dude. Definitely the most I’ve seen Woo-ping onscreen in any of his films.
Babyface Yen is mostly an unlikable character despite having some sick breakdancing moves. The real scene stealer is Dick Wei, who is super fun as Yen’s rival. Would be nice to have a good release for this one.
