Al Leong has returned to us!!!, 21 September 2007
10/10
Author: lane jarsonbeck (NTESLAFAN05@YAHOO.COM) from Tampa, Florida

The quality of this movie makes no never mind to me- call it Little man 2 use Eli Roth as the director and the writing team of scary Movie 1 and I will still see this movie because Al Leong is back!!!

To those of you (like myself) who stay till the end of movies read the credits (worth your time in a Abraham Zucker Abraham film)know in what townships movies were filmed- if you know the names Gary Burrit Mo Henry and more recently Theresa Repolla Muhammad or stunt men like Danny Aiello III then you know Al Leong and like me you are happy as a pig in mud!! For the rest of you who never saw the twist in X-men 3 or the final laugh of Ferris Bueller or who according to Chris Columbus the true identity of Sherlock Holmes nemesis Prof. Moriearty is- Al Leong may not be a recognizable name but I assure all of you you will recognize him from great films when you see him!!Great stunt man fantastic fight choreographer and proving there are no such things as small roles by the numerous bit parts we remember him from one fine actor!!!

I have been asking for the last 2 1/2 years (more loudly in recent months)"what happened to him?" and/or "where has he been?" and because of this I know he has a loyal following(albeit small and cultish- but movie ticket purchasing able and ready just the same)

We all know Angelina is hot but who cares!? Al Leong is in this movie! His character is too small to have a name-who cares- AL LEONG IS BACK FOR US ALL and I'm sitting...well not so much front row these days with the big screens but I'll be one the first ones there just the same. Tell your friends- the man is back!!!
