Derivative, but there's plenty of bloody action

THE SUPER GANG is a low budget 1984 vehicle for former Bruceploitation actor Bruce Le, here playing a man who gets involved with a couple of rival gangs who have been abusing immigrants. There's a little back story in this Hong Kong production but it mainly gives way to endless action sequences in the second half of the thing, in which Le works his way through various goons while gradually working his way to the top.

It's a cheap and slapdash thing, without much in the way of artistic merit, but it does have a ton of bloody action to recommend it. The fight choreography isn't great but it's not the kind of film you could ever be bored by. Content-wise it's very typical by genre standards, although Le is mildly amusing in his energetic way and there's a welcome, if minor, appearance from Bolo Yeung. The ending has some odd stuff involving a devilish character but for the most part THE SUPER GANG is kung-fu-by-numbers.

Bruce Le in a Supporting Role
jacobstaggs25 January 2019
The fighting scenes in this movie are quite good. There are some really nice fashions in it too. It was an interesting whodunnit with the killer wearing an effectively creepy mask. He/she often kills in slasher flick style. Bruce has a fight on a cliff and let's just say he won't be bragging about the outcome. The final conclusion comes about through use of some firepower. Recommended viewing for action fans but it's nothing beyond just good.

Possibly the best movie on the planet

This movie is supposed to be a Kung-Fu movie. I witnessed and own the movie known as Supergang. This movie is so crappy it's funny. I watched it first over at a friends house and one could tell it would be great just from the opening screen: First of all the opening title "The Supergang" were off-center to the point were the last g in gang had been cut off.

Second of all the dubbing of English over the Chinese was so bad it was just funny watching these people talk.

Thirdly there was little to no storyline to speak of and all the characters had really great names like Bluffy Chan, Piggy Ming, and Boldy Hung. Then we had names that just didn't fit in this movie like Allan and Jenny.

Fourth there was advertisement on the cover of the DVD box of Bruce Lee there was no Bruce Lee to speak of instead there was the ever popular Bruce Le.

Finally this movie had some of the best special effects I have ever seen. There was a point were a minor character stole a bag of money from a random guy. This character shot him in the head and it looked as if the person who had been shot had had Kool-Aid thrown on him. There was also another seen where Boldy Hung is fighting some guy and Boldy knocks him to the ground. The man on the ground looks up and screams NO as Boldy goes to curb stomp him. Suddenly you see a foot crush a watermelon painted black.

In all this movie is so bad it's funny. I'd recommend everyone in the world sees this movie.
