Release Year: 1997

‘The Mad Phoenix’ has moments that offer the kind of promise that make the finished product all the more disappointing.

What could have been an amusing film sprinkled with a bit of action is more like a woefully over-exaggerated piece of fluff that wastes a good cast.

The wonderfully choreographed, filmed and performed kung fu from a large and talented cast is the reason to watch this movie and for this it is highly recommended.
