So much is CGI and camera work/editing now. Anyone can look like a kung fu master. I read one time that Sammo wasn't afraid to connect with his fists and kicks during fight scenes. A terrifying proposition for his opponents I'm sure. 😄
With the exception of a few actors in this movie, the majority did their own stunts. They certainly didn't have the safety standards required today. I think about Michelle Yeoh falling off that car in Police Story or jumping off the bridge and hurting her back. 🫣
Most Jackie Cheung flicks from that era was just a shoddy excuse for fight scenes.🤣🤣🤣
And his brand of comedy with a high body count ushered in copycats. 90% of the old kung fu plots were thin scaffoldings for the fights. Most of the movies and people I added to the DB were these martial arts movies and actors/stuntmen.

He also had to tackle a newbie who wasn't paying attention and was walking behind the helicopter where the rotor blades were spinning. Kid would have been chopped up. 🤦♀️
I am always amazed at how MDL drama cults can sink a review. You have the third most likes and I found your review buried on the second page. Baffling. I will take your critical and informative reviews over “it’s a masterpiece” any day. 🦋💕
Such a good and apt review like always! 👌🏻I love the amusing character descriptions from secret science…
Thank you so much! 🦋💕
I loved these two characters, especially that she had growth in a revenge drama without losing herself in the process. And who wouldn’t love a secretly nerdy Satoh! 🤓💖🔥
Beware, there is another site on YT that has this film and it was badly "colored" with pinks, greens, and blues. It also has no English subtitles if you need them, only Japanese.

Congrats to your daughter! 🫡
Your reviews are always informative and beautifully written. You have a gift!
I almost added after the final quote, “ All I asked you to do was take out the trash.” 😄
It did have some draggy moments. My red editing pen was getting itchy. 😁
Sometimes the ahjumma has to come out and speak.

(And thank you for the Jin gift! 💝 )
It had a nice story to it but the execution was deeply flawed.
