Member Mark Pollard Posted May 17, 2008 Member Share Posted May 17, 2008 While doing some research on Wong Yue following his recent death (see Wong Yue thread) I got interested in this independent old school classic. It's one of Wong's non-SB films. It was produced by the Fai Tan Film Co. and stars Wong Yue, Wilson Tong, Norman Chu, and Kong Do. It's still available on DVD as part of Tai Seng's old "Martial Arts Theater" collection. I guess it's one of the few titles in that series that I neglected to pick up. Curiously, I also found it for sale as a 929 MB download at Movielink. Several clips from the film are available on Youtube courtesy of a user named Huruchi1. He has some other interesting stuff posted as well.

Moderator thekfc Posted May 17, 2008 Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2008 I picked that one up at Best Buy last year during their Black Friday sale. It is still available but not in store. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=GFNWQ4NY3VTPPKC4D3NVAHI?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&id=pcat17071&type=page&st=the+young+avenger&sc=movieSP&cp=1&nrp=15&sp=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=Movies&ks=960 http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/Search.do?c=1&searchType=user&keyword=the+young+avenger&searchSection=20013218%7CMovies+%26+Music&go.x=24&go.y=12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yakuza954 Posted May 17, 2008 Member Share Posted May 17, 2008 The action is the best part about this one. Everything else is pretty forgettable, except for that strange scene with the porn film in the theater. The best part was seeing Wilson Tong use the same moves that earned him the nickname as "The Foot Doctor" in the Victim. Other than that, I'd say He Has Nothing but Kung fu and Dirty Kung Fu are Wong Yue's best independent efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 17, 2008 Member Share Posted May 17, 2008 I agree Yakuza. Only thing I really liked was the action. My favorite fights were the ones with Norman Chu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
