A martial arts showcase and not much else., 4 August 2000
1/10
Author: lartronic from Akron, Ohio

This film concentrates more on showing off some kung-fu skills instead of an intelligent story. What story there actually is contains the efforts of a grandfather teaching his grandson a style of fighting called "Cooking kung-fu" (oooh, scary), while a mysterious guy with a lamp-shade on his head walks around killing people. What really distracts the viewer is the fact there is no title sequence or credits, why is anybody's guess. When you think about it, it's actually pretty amazing that this actually got dubbed (badly) and released in America, and even more amazing is the fact that this was released on video! I recommend this to die-hard martial arts or action fans, but all others probably won't care about it.
