Genre: Action

There really is very little reason to recommend ‘Killers From Beijing’ as it is disappointing on just about every level of competent film-making.

Tsukamoto proves that he can stand with the filmic legends as he proudly represents a unique sense of style in a densely populated medium.

The real problem of ‘King Of Beggars’ is that there is a lack of focus on what should be the main strength of the production.

Even though he has very little to work with, Simon Yam still manages to impress with his portrayal of yet another mean and moody criminal mastermind.

A formulaic plot that doesn’t exactly inspire viewing is lifted from tedium by some inventive and exciting action sequences.

A lad’s with lager film, but one that doesn’t fail in it’s objective: Jet Li kicks ass…violently…and lots of it.

Almost non-existent scripting and farcical characters that fail to provide the film with the necessary substance.

The action is simply electric, most notably the two-against-one finale that pits Sammo and Yuen against Liu Chia Yung.

‘Kung Fu Chefs’ slipped through the cracks on its initial release, but with its star getting more attention than ever before, it might be worth revisiting.

The pairing of Jet Li and Sammo should have spawned a masterpiece, but instead the audience is left with this disheartening effort.

As a continued supporter of Hong Kong cinema, it gives me no pleasure to call this absurd mess the biggest waste of a big budget in recent memory.

‘Kung Fu Fighter’ is the cinematic equivalent of watching a used corn plaster floating in a muddy canal.
