Magnificent Fist

1980

Director: Kam Aug

Stars: Carter Wong, Cheung Wai, Irene Hui

Fairly boring old-school kung fu flick about a Robin Hood-esque character named Swallow (Wong) who cleans his town of corrupt officials and nasty Japanese troops while romancing a widow (Hui). The story and acting are pretty much crap, but some of the action is pretty good -- though the bits of wire work (guys jumping clear over walls, etc.) look really out of place.

RATING: 4
