Shuang la (1980)
7/10
Not enough Hwang Jang Lee, but nevertheless still a pretty good film
7 February 2020
Yet again another Seasonal Film Corporation's underrated classic. The plot involves around two heroes trying to stop the opium distribution running by the man named Tai (played by Hwang Jang Lee).

I won't deny the fact that the film is the average low budget crime film, but plenty of acrobatics, stunts and once again Hwang Jang Lee's kick makes it up for this film. This also might be Alan Hsu's one of the best early work as a main leading role which is not quite so common to see him in the main hero roles, if anything the most memorable roles from him to me personally was a White headed villain in 7 Grandmasters. But he's really excellent in this film, with plenty of amazing flips and stunts to perform on the screen.

Hwang Jang Lee once again showcases a plenty of kicking action as a whole, but I found it to be a bit disappointing that there's not enough from him. Nevertheless it's yet again a decent film from the Seasonal Film Corporation once again and personally even with it's average kung fu flick nature, it's worth checking out for the crazy fight scenes.
