Wonderful Movie

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

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is another Godfrey Ho film that takes place in a world where everyone knows the martial arts, but no one can act. Although lacking in the eyeball pulling mullet madness of Undefeatable, Honour and Glory makes up for it with some of the worst acting I've ever witnessed on screen – and I watch films like this all the time! Wait till you see the meeting of the military types near the beginning – brilliant.Someone's stolen a nuclear trigger and those military types are stumbling their way through some exposition about it. Meanwhile, head of a bank John Masters (in a truly jaw dropping performance) wants to get a hold of it while staving off a nosey reporter and bumping off members of his board who want rid of him. John's well mental, a buffed up corporate martial arts expert who hates everyone around him, especially his bodyguard, who really truly acts and sounds like Eddie Murphy. Eddie's intrigued by the nosey reporter's mad kung fu skills and they hit off, while she warns him that his boss is up to no good. Cue romantic chopstick stand offs.Also, the reporters sister in Cynthia Rothrock, and she's after the trigger with her partner Dragon Lee. Also also, her dad is in the CIA and they're all part of a kung fu school run by some guy who's been more like a father to the reporter than the CIA guy. Plus, Micky from the Kung fu school fancies the reporter and can't act to boot. I'm exhausted remembering all these people. There's also Slick the pimp, some Japanese guy with an indestructible leg, and probably some other people I've forgotten about due to not having many brain cells left from watching all these films. It's like Godfrey Ho's ensemble piece as we watch all the family drama, workouts (bother Masters and reporter have their own training segment), and random kung fu fights with people who have little to do with the story.Let's just say that the Eddie Murphy guy doesn't like what his boss is up to (he keeps flashing back to someone being killed, including stuff that happened after he left), and everyone gets together to give Masters a complete drubbing. I've never seen a film before where there's a surplus of good guys who all take on the bad guy at the end, but that's why I watch these films in the first place. Honour and Glory might not sound as crazy as other Ho films, but you have to see the acting to believe – One guy can't even get killed without messing it up (the guy who gets his neck broken in a car). John Masters is truly over the top here and to be honest the film needs it, but the prize for bad acting must go to Micky. After he gets a kicking from the Japanese guy (after hammering away at his leg with a baseball bat) his speech to the reporter is brilliant.It's another classic, and I can't help but feel that Godfrey Ho might have been in on the joke all this time….

Kung fu black belt TV reporter Joyce Pride (Donna Jason) and her equally tough FBI agent sister Tracy (Cynthia Rothrock) attempt to bring corrupt businessman Jason Slade (John Miller) to justice with help from his former bodyguard Jake Armstrong (Chuck Jeffreys), Hong Kong cop Dragon Lee (Robin Shou) and martial arts student Mickey (Yip Yim Hing).Honour and Glory features an awesome line-up of bona fide martial arts stars (Rothrock, Shou, Miller, Jeffreys) but very little in the way of genuine acting talent; normally, this doesn't bother me too much, just so long as the action comes thick and fast, but with less than impressive fight scenes (largely thanks to the typically lousy direction from king of crap ninja flicks Godfrey Ho) and a plot that is all over the place (another Ho trademark), the film proves very disappointing indeed.Admittedly, a certain degree of fun can be gleaned from the sheer naffness of the whole affair—OTT villain Slade and his henchman Hideo (Richard Yuen) are hard to take seriously, and further giggles can be had from Jake Armstrong's hideous fashion sense—but for the most part this is forgettable nonsense and an unforgivable waste of its stars' formidable fighting skills.

I've saw the Asian version of this movie which is called : ANGEL THE KICKBOXER and features actors like : Cynthia rothrock,yukari oshima,robin shou,Pauline Chan,Donna Jason,waise lee and others.this movie has non-stop action and the fights are well done but are very short unfortunately.i wanted to see Cynthia rothrock in a few other scenes that are not included in honor and glory but they aren't.as a Cynthia rothrock's fan i wasn't disappointed by this movie which is very entertainment in my opinion.i hope to see these days a new movie with a cast that include Cynthia rothrock+yukari oshima or Cynthia rothrock+Michelle yeoh(they played very well in police assassins)

Look at the cast we have here! Cynthia Rothrock, Chuck Jeffreys, Robin Shou, John Miller: all of them real-life martial artists. And then there is Donna Jason, who has probably had some martial arts training, and even though she's not at the level of the others, she gets extra points for hotness (great smile!). In theory, "Honor and Glory" should have been a non-stop fighting fest, but it didn't quite work out that way. The film devotes too much time to its plot, which is scattered all over the place and never seems to really get started, and the actual fight scenes are only average in quality - not bad, but definitely not top-grade either. The film does have its moments (including Cynthia's scorpion kick and Donna's workout routine), but with this cast, we should be excused for expecting more. (**)
