There are worse ways to start off my year in movies than with a film like The Warrior From Shaolin. Sure it was dubbed and it’s not the greatest martial arts movie from the era, but it’s still got plenty of classic old school fight choreography to keep me occupied. It also features Lau Kar-Fai and Eric Tsang- two personal favorites. Lau, of course, is the focus. He once again proves why he’s one of the greatest screen fighters of all time, with 90 minutes of sharp action. Tsang is along for comic relief and, sad to say, it’s not one of his best performances in that regard, but it’s still fun to watch him so early in his career.
Did I mention that watching a ton more martial arts movies was one of my New Year’s resolutions? It is.
Good start!
