Director: Yuen Woo-Ping

Yuen Woo-Ping and his brothers fill the film with stunning ‘drunken’ conflicts and duels.

It’s very strange how such a well-polished and highly entertaining film has come under such criticism from some Hong Kong film fans.

No one who claims to be a Hong Kong action cinema fan or a true Chan fan should be without a copy of this movie.

Yuen Woo Ping weaves more choreographed magic into the narrative and allows the entire cast to show what they can do.

Taking a popular narrative and adding a unique sense of charm to it, Yuen Woo-Ping creates a strangely captivating atmosphere with a familiar cast.

Although not quite reaching the heights of ‘Iron Monkey’, ‘Heroes Among Heroes’ is still a memorable new-wave action film that is packed with superior fight action.

You really feel a lot of the hits in this film which is all in all, a hugely enjoyable action flick, jam-packed with trademark Woo Ping fight scenes, thankfully sans wires!

Anyone who appreciates quality choreography, well executed fight sequences and a well told story will love this and will definitely want to own it!

Considering they both draw inspiration from the same source, it’s no surprise that ‘Legend Of A Fighter’ often feels a little too similar to ‘Fist Of Fury’.

This film could be recommended alone for it’s exceptional fight action, but as you’d expect from this cast there’s much more on offer.

Competently directed by the legendary Yuen Woo-Ping and utilising a decent budget, ‘Master Z’ is pleasingly straight-forward, action soaked entertainment.

Donnie Yen takes on a role similar to the one he played in ‘Drunken Tai Chi’ and once again shows how effortless it is for him to combine incredible physical aptitude with a pleasing screen persona.
