Good training film..., one of Tan's best., 6 December 1999
7/10
Author: KingLouie from New York

I've seen maybe 3 or 4 of Tan's movies in the distant past. I think this one was one of the better ones. Not to say any of the others were bad, it's just that this one stands out in my mind. The plot is standard fare, but plausible. Basically, Tan, a top student at one school has a run-in with an up-and-coming hotshot from another school is anxious to test his skills. One thing leads to another and the kid gets killed. His older brother of course is not happy and wants to get kill Tan and anyone associated with him and so sets off hunting Tan down.

The movie itself has good choreography, and you get to see Tans "toe-work" on display. Which is basically the high-light of any of his films. After watching this one, you'll be wanting to go out and try your "leg skills". There is some use of wires, but not over-done, and the combat is mostly grounded, meaning, not a lot of "flying & swooping" out of the sky like some flicks. And all scenes are during the daytime. It's hard to find information on Tan and his movies. But if you can get your hands on this one, do so. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
