Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog! (1978)
Reviewed by: mrblue on 2010-11-14
I will grant that, for the most part, I am not a fan of the comedic style employed in most Hong Kong films, especially that used by Karl Maka and Dean Shek, who seem to inspire headaches rather than laughs through their incessant mugging and use of elements like fast-motion and sound effects that would be more appropriate for a Road Runner cartoon than a live-action movie. Thus, sitting through the comedic exposition scenes was kind of a chore for this reviewer, with the only few laughs generated from Sammo's versatile facial expressions. So once Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog got to the fighting, as good as those scenes were, they just couldn't fully overcome the hole of mediocrity the movie had already dug for itself.
