    • Trivia
      Interestingly in an interview with Robert 'Bobby" Samuels about the making of the film, Samuels claims that it was during the making of this movie in 1994 that he advised Yuen Woo-ping to accept the job as fight choreographer for THE MATRIX (1999), which is a little strange considering that this movie was shot before the Wachowski's had even directed their first movie BOUND (1996) and the first fight choreographer the Wachowski Brothers spoke to about working on their movie was John Cheung from Dragon The Bruce Lee Story.

    Typical actioner from yuen woo-ping!
    The red wolf is basically a remake of ''die hard'' ,starring Bruce Willis, but this time the action is set in a cruise ship and not in a building. There is a good amount of action but the action is separated in little sequences(1 or maybe 2 minutes each) and the climactic fight does not even last 5 minutes. But the action is good (what else do you expect from Yuen woo-ping?) and Christy chung is looking better than ever(she even has a catfight in this one!). This is a fairly entertaining movie to rent but don't buy this one, buy Yuen woo-ping's masterpiece ''Iron monkey'' instead. This movie deserves 7,4/10
