When Taekwondo Strikes
AKA: Kickmaster, Sting of the Dragon, Sting of the Dragon Masters, When Tae Kwon Do Strikes
1973
Director: Wong Fung
Stars: Angela Mao, Jhoon Rhee, Sammo Hung, Wilson Tong, Carter Wong, Huang In-Sik
Non-stop fisticuffs are the order of the day in this solid old-school flick that has a group of Korean rebels led by Jhoon Rhee taking on the local corrupt Japanese. I don't really have too much to say about this movie, even though it is quite good. The script and plot won't win any awards, but the actors do well with what they have to work with and they look great during the fights, especially Angela Mao, who is always a treat to watch.
RATING: 7
Note: As of June 2014, Shout! Factory has put out the full uncut Hong Kong version as part of their Angela Mao Ying Collection 3 DVD set.
