Deadend of Besiegers (1992)
Reviewed by: mrblue on 2011-04-06
For the most part, Japanese characters have not been treated very well in Hong Kong and Chinese martial arts films. From classics like Fist of Fury to newer entries like Ip Man, the Japanese are often presented as caricatures that showcase every negative stereotype possible in order to raise up jingoistic feelings in the local audience. So when an entry like 1992's unfortunately titled Deadend of Besiegers comes around that treats the Japanese characters (or at least some of them) as well-rounded individuals, it's at least worth a look.
