The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
If you know Donnie Yen & don't know this film I highly recommend you go out and source a copy. This has some brilliant fight scenes and the usual campy goof scenes of early Donnie films and is a must have for martial arts film fans. Donnie's role is small, yet is pivotal, and he's the one who gets to battle head villain Collin Chou at the end. I think this is the only time the 2 of them get to punch on previous to 'Flash Point'. The plot concerns three teenagers, each holding a piece of jade which combine to form the key to treasure. Donnie is his regular loose-cannon policeman.The fight with Billy Chow is short, but great, as expected.In short, if you're after a kick ass old Hong Kong (tho this is Taiwanese) style flick, chuck on your screen.
