SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
View MoreIt's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
View MoreThe film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
View MoreThe acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
View MoreThis is a pretty bad martial arts movie for the most part. It's really cheaply made, and with plenty of technical flubs like the book mike making an appearance several times. The story doesn't really make a lot of sense. For one thing, the "MacGuffin" of the story (a plastic piece of pizza!) is forgotten about for the longest time. And there are plenty of plot turns that are lacking explanation, like where did all that stolen gold go to.Is there any genuine merit to be found in the movie? Well, some of the martial art sequences aren't bad. In fact, the martial arts choreography as a whole does beat what you usually find in an American martial arts movie. That's the only genuine bit of merit to be found in the movie. However, if you add unintentional humor to your criteria of merit, the movie does better. Parts of the movie are pretty laughable, from the now dated 1990s fashions on display to the fact that it seems that every performer in the movie overacts outrageously. So there are some good laughs here, but I wouldn't say there are enough to make this essential viewing.P.S. - If you are curious about cult Hong Kong movie star Bolo Yeung, he's pretty much wasted here, only getting a relatively small supporting role.
View MoreWhat can i say about this movie.My cousin and i have grown up watching it over and over again. Once you have seen this movie,you realise not to take it seriously and you find it hilarious.And the thing is,its not supposed to be that way.The acting is bad, the fights seen are shaky, bolo's involvement is minimal, Jerry Trimble- king of the kick boxers gets his ass kicked by the kid from the goonies though so its not all bad.plenty laughs in here though, from the fighting dwarfs, to Jerry Trimble's odd-ball house keeper.And the bank Robbert scene with bolo in drag makes the whole thing worth while. this film was a vital part of my youth, and i will continue to watch it from time to time so i can remember just how much fun it is.
View MoreI watch this movie every weekend because of the sheer humorous acting and the brutal fighting. the fighting is alot better than most recent movies...but, story cannot play out correctly due to really bad acting. I bought this movie for $5 on DVD at K-mart and it's possibly the greatest 5 bucks I've ever spent. There are some scenes where I'll just break out and laugh at because Data from "The Goonies" (Jonathon ke quan) beats the tar out of a 300 lb muscle man. If's you find this movie,by all means buy it. It's one of the funniest movies i've ever seen...sadly, it isn't supposed to be.
View MoreThis movie is a real sleeping pill,it is awful. The plot isn't so very good and the script is awful. I didn't like this movie because the fighting scenes are awfuland the plot and the script sucks. The actors isn't so good. This movie is lame so i give it 2 out of 10.
