I think you shouldn't so readily discard this movie because it has less action. First of all, the action in the movie (when it happens) is legitimately great. After all, the action was choreographed by the Jackie Chan Stuntmen Association (There aren't that many, I made a list of such movies). You should always watch movies choreographed by the JCSA pre-2000 if "insane action that you can't find anywhere else" is what you're looking for (aren't we all?) Second, you might actually like the comedic parts? I thought they were somewhat different from what I'm used to with HK movies. It's more light-hearted, definitely focused on the women and their feelings, it was interesting, at least to me. I surprisingly liked this movie, the whole thing. I say give it a shot. As for me, I will be buying this release. I agree, personal classic for me . The movie only has two action sequences , but it’s still a pretty good watch with some fun training sequences and some good character moments . 4 stars……….oh, Billy Lau also gets his ass kicked by Kara Hui in one scene so that bumps it to 5 stars. Also, did anyone else find it strange Cynthia Rothrock disappeared during the last few minutes of the final fight ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I ever saw it was when keystone cops was shown on tv when I was a kid. No one does it more then Donnie Yen. Saw the Hi-yah trailer for 'Fist Of Fury' no wonder I've never watched the vcd boxset I have of the series. Undercranking has been used by everyone in Hong Kong cinema so there ain't no single actor/filmmaker that "does it more". Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Bill Yuen, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Yuen Woo-Ping, Corey Yuen, Ching Siu-Tung... I can go on forever. The 70s, the 80s, and the 90s was the epitome of undercranking in Hong Kong action film-making. In terms of worst undercranking in fight scenes, watch Godfrey Ho's movies. Far more cartoonish than anything that Donnie did in the mid and late 90s. Edited August 30, 2023 by DiP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can keep your Godfrey Ho movies There is enough good movies I don't have the time to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know most action scenes in Hong Kong are undercranked to some degree or another. I said in my view Donnie Yen goes to the extreme with it. But that's what you're implying when saying that "nobody does it more" and "going to the extreme". And this is based on what... Fist of Fury and his earlier movies? And that automatically makes him a heavy user of undercranking in every other movie based on just some productions? 🤷♂️ You're not seeing the big picture here. Watch any Jackie, Sammo, Bill and Jet Li movies for obvious undercranking. Everybody in Hong Kong action cinema has undercranked their action scenes.
