Righting Wrongs (1986)
Reviewed by: hellboy on 2000-09-04
Summary: A tough, kung-fu, crime noir
Yuen Biao proves he's got what it takes to carry a movie without Samo or Jackie. A gritty, well-written character as well as a solid performance from YB make this action/drama well worth watching. Cynthia Rothrock displays some more of the incredible kung-fu ability she demonstrated in Yes, Madam! although her acting capability seems somewhat limited. Righting Wrongs is definitely one of the most bleakest films to come out of HK. I don't want to spoil it but the ending may be very unsatifying to some. But that's also why I like it, Yuen Kwai doesn't pull any punches for the sake of pleasing the audience. The best scene from the film has Yuen Biao narrowly escaping being crushed from two oncoming cars! They really crash just above his head!! A scene that instant replay if viewed on video! 9/10
