Such a frustrating disappointment

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

When a pair of thieves steal Frog's (Sammo Hung) wallet, it's revealed that he possesses the 'invincible armor' which immediately becomes the center point of everyone's desire including another swindler, Tiger. They must work together when a master of crab fist obtains the armor. There isn't a lot in the way of redeeming characters in this one. Everyone is willing to go to any lengths to have the armor and get the upper hand, but regardless there is plenty of fun and humor. The fighting is pretty solid though it never gets too creative. The end fight between Frog and Tiger features some wicked three section staff fighting. A lot of familiar faces in this one too including Karl Maka, Lam Ching Yung, and many of Sammo's regulars.

This movie was funnier than I expected but I wasn't 100% satisfied with the fight scenes. Some of them are pretty standard, while others are simply great, which leaves a bitter taste after watching it.Sammo and Lau Kar-Wing are both excellent screen fighters but I advise watching Odd Couple, which was made a year later, instead. It has basically the same cast but the choreography was better and quicker. Still, Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog is a lot of fun but don't expect too much in terms of fighting and you'll have a good time......................7,9/10
