If you're in the mood for goofiness, "Revenge of the Gweilo" is worth a watch. It certainly cheered me right up!
Here, Nathan Hill takes us on a rampage fueled by revenge after his fiancée meets a tragic fate at the hands of the Asian mafia.
The film hilariously mocks all the Hong Kong martial arts films of the 80s. The Gweilo, or "white devil," is a Caucasian drawn into a Chinatown Triad adventure filled with the kinds of mishaps and brawls you'd expect from a cheesy B-grade kung fu movie! Think Bruce-sploitation! With subtle nods to the video game 'Street Fighter 2' and Bruce Lee's 'Game of Death.'
The characters are fun, and female characters have sex appeal. Nathan Hill is living out his fantasies on film, and we're here for it!
"Revenge of the Gweilo" mixes action, quirkiness, and unexpected laughs, making it the perfect pick for indie film lovers (guilty as charged!) looking for something different.
