Unfortunately, Circus Kids (literal name for what the film is about) is another Wu Man/Yuen Biao mess, and despite its more original concept, the film is completely uninteresting, and quite honestly a waste a time. The only worthwhile reason to even consider watching this is for some of Yuen Biaos moves, otherwise I can’t give any reason for watching it.

The acting is atrocious, but it’s no surprise considering none of the cast are really much of actors anyway (Yuen Biao, Wu Ma, Donnie Yen!!), but even so, a lot more work should have been put in on this one. Even the cameo by Bey Logan looks so out of place. Also, as Sydneyguy said, the ending is really bad, ending up with the conclusion that Circus Kids is probably one of the worst films by people who should know better, considering their long time in the business.

I will say though, that there are certain aspects of this film that do draw me to believe that Wu Ma really did try to make a serious film here, but probably due to the cast and the script it just makes me laugh at it, and could not recommend this to anyone.

[1.5/5]

PS – Thanks for sending me the VCD Sydneyguy, I hadn’t ever seen a clear version of this film before!
