'90s Shaw remake
30 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Frankie Chan took it upon himself to write, direct and star in this 1990s remake of a Shaw Brothers movie from 1977 entitled PURSUIT OF VENGEANCE. He even got Ti Lung to come back and reprise his role as a limping, merciless killer who is gets his own theme music (directly ripped off from THE TERMINATOR, even the limp is similar). Sadly, this is a lower budgeted affair that comes across as needlessly muddled and confused for the most part, although it does have plenty of cool and crazy action scenes to recommend it. You get dynamite sticks acting like WW2 artillery pieces, an invisible fighter, lots of dismemberment and the usual wire fu of the era. Not great, but it does entertain at times, it just needed to be half an hour shorter and less confused to really work.
