Not sure that news would excite you quite so much if you'd seen 'Choy Li Fut'. Proof that even Sammo can't save some films.


O yeah Choy Li Fut was bad real bad I couldn't review it, it would have been my shortest review ever

Choy Li Fut

SH*T

:lol: I liked the Kane Kosugi fight but that was about it. Sammo really needs to stop doing those pointless cameos and start starring or directing again. Kung Fu Chefs was probably the last good movie he did and that was 2009.

It's a fun movie, recaptures some of that 80's vibe that most HK movies are sorely lacking these days.

I've only seen the HK DVD which seemed fine to me. There is also a US release but I think it's just a straight copy of the HK disc.
