The Desperate Chase

AKA: Blood of the Dragon

1973

Director: Kao Bo Shu

Stars: Jimmy Wang Yu, Chiu Gaau, Lung Fei, Tin Yau, Miu Tin, Yee Yuen, Got Siu Bo

Jimmy Wang Yu once again comes to the rescue of the rebels in this by-the-numbers kung fu movie. I really don't have much to say about this one -- it really just seemed like the same old stuff (virtuous hero, annoying kid/sidekick, overly cheesy evil guy, a plot line about a list of rebels, etc.) all over again. The fights consist mostly of sloppy melees and aren't all that exciting. This one's for die-hard oldschoolers only.

RATING: 4
