As much as Red Fists stumbles, like many low-budget productions from the era, the film-makers smartly knew to pick up the pace when it came to the action sequences. Yu Rong-Guang served as the action director on this picture, and after seeing the results displayed, it's a little puzzling as to why he only worked in the role in one other movie. While the action isn't mind-blowing and there isn't quite enough of it, what is here is well-done and exciting enough (especially given what he had to work with) hinting that Yu had the seeds to becoming a very dependable action director if given the chance.
