(2000) Fist Power
(In Chinese with English subtitles)
ACTION
Starring Wenzhuo Zhao as professional martial art cop getting himself mixed up a father Charles Chau (played by Hong Kong film veteran Anthony Wong) trying to get back his kid after he was abandoned by his mother who's mixed up with some gangsters. Of course, this stupid plot only serves only as a backdrop to showcase the fighting sequences and they're plenty of it, it's some of the worst I had ever seen since they're just boring without convincing fighting choreography or charismatic camera angles. Some of the Hong Kong action movie influences are very evident upon watching this-"Pedicab Driver" is one of them. I couldn't stop falling asleep whenever I had this on and I can adapt to stupid thin plots as long as the action holds up on it's own, this was just terrible particularly the beginning where the martial arts star walks to the corridor and he's beating several cops with batons which anyone can tell wires were used with really bad pretending-to-be-hit acting.
