A trio makes a daring robbery of a stash of gold, but one of the members, Wang (Richard Nam), with the help of a female accomplice (Peggy Min), later drugs the other two and gets away with the entire loot. A few months later, his past catches up with him and he’s mortally injured by a gang run by his former accomplice. Just before his death, he gives his niece a Rubik’s Cube which holds the secret to where the gold is hidden. The gang bursts in and tries to grab the cube but, lo and behold, Thunderkick Tiger (Charles Han) has witnessed the whole incident. After dispatching the thugs with a flurry of kicks, he bullies Anne (the niece) and takes the cube for himself. Somehow this display of manly masochism has made Anne fall in love with him in less than 3 minutes. For the rest of the film two gangs, the Snakes and the Monkeys, led by two of the three original thieves (Casanova Wong and Shin Yeong-Il), do their best to get the cube and kill Tiger. Tiger is not your typical hero though, and he’ll use any means to get the gold himself.

If Korean kick-fests are your cup of tea, Strike of the Thunderkick Tiger (aka My Name is ‘Twin Legs’) should be right up your alley. All three of the leads are tremendous boot men, and their minions are smacked around in all sorts of manners during the fights. Charles Han’s character is a bit over-the-top, as he beds women in one scene and then smacks them around in the next, all the while garnering more and more of their affection. Didn’t really notice the “bi-sexual” nature of Casanova Wong’s character other than him having a strange, rather effeminate lackey. Lots of scenes in fields or construction yards, all with the typically gloomy and colorless 70’s Korean backdrop. Not an entirely bad movie, but nothing that really stands out.
