‘Fatal Needles Vs. Fatal Fists’ is not a work of Kurosawan proportions, but it’s certainly better than there’s any reason to expect.

With excellent action, a few chuckles and Jackie’s charm the film is an enjoyable watch.

‘Kung Fu of Eight Drunkards’ is interchangeable with most of the other independent productions of the time, the same strengths and weaknesses again apparent.

This is a film that begins with optimism only to quickly revert to the old formula that had been so over-used.

If you’re happy to laugh along with it then you’ll still find something to appreciate, but a kung fu classic this is not.

The Hui brothers combine efforts to create another outstanding piece of canto-comedy that mixes clever satire of the entertainment industry and slapstick comedy.
