Movie Reviews of King of Beggars
Movie Review: Sleeping style!!
Summary: 2 Stars
Buddha Assassinator is one of my favorite kung fu movies because the final fight invloves a crazy sleeping style of kung fu. I will talk about the action in a minute but I had to mention the sleeping style ASAP since it is so rare to see in a movie.
Stephen Chow plays the king of beggars. Once a rich young man and great in kung fu, he gets cheated out of everything he should have had by a government official. He is now forced to become a beggar with his father.
The main problem is that the movie just doesn't flow together very well. There is just too much beggar talk. The story doesn't move along at all except at the start and end. The rest is just mindless talking.
This starts out like a kung fu movie, but when Chow becomes a beggar, that becomes the main focus of the story. The action is very good when it does happen and I loved the sleeping style. Sleeping style has been used in a few older movies and it was nice to finally see it in a newer one, but they could have used it more. The undercranking is way too fast but the fights are still pretty good.
