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.

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

For those that hate the frequent use of wire-fu (like me), you better look elsewhere as action choreography for this film relies heavily upon its use.

‘Swordsman’ is not as strong as its superior sequel and the aforementioned difficulties are all apparent, but it is still an ultimately rewarding film.

With a predictable script and some seriously under-par actors, it was never really going to amount to much more than a set of average fight sequences.
