Iron Monkey (1993)
Reviewed by: SUPERCOP on 1999-12-27
Summary: Good Yuen Wo-ping effort.....

Tsui Hark produced this Yuen Woo-ping martial arts adventure depicting the exploits of a Chinese Robin Hood known as the Iron Monkey. Here, Wong Key-ying, played by Donnie Yen, is assigned by the government to take down the Iron Monkey, but not before collaborating with his intended target in order to take down the government themselves. Acclaimed by enthusiasts as the definitive modern martial arts movie, this film contains excellent wire fu choreography by Yuen Woo-ping, star turns by Donnie Yen and Yu Rong-guang, and some decent, if not annoying, slapstick humor. Recommended to anyone in need of a good, old fashioned wire fu movie.
