The Hero Of Swallow (1996) |
 |
|
In the beginning it's a bit like Iron Monkey (1993), after a while it's more like the Lizard (1972), the end is like a Chang Cheh heroic epos and in between there's time for a small love story. It's a light-hearted action film with some more serious parts, but it isn't as humorous as most of the Yuen Biao films. Yuen Biao is playing the 'flying Swallow' so it's obvious that there's some wire work. The fights are okay, but it's a pitty that most of the fights are in the dark and that they are edited in a way which made my eyes (but I'm over 50) tired.
Overall a nice movie (if you like movies of that period) and a must for Yuen Biao fans (if they can stand the way the film ends).
