Movie Reviews of Silver Hawk
Movie Review: Well at least this one got an American relase!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
For a while after seeing CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, I was wondering, "When is Michelle Yeoh going to do another movie?" Last febuary, I found out she'd already done two since, THE TOUCH, and SILVER HAWK. I nearly went mad trying to track down a legal, non-bootleg copy of THE TOUCH on DVD over the net, and I eventually did. Seems Disney has once again purchased the rights to a great Hong Kong flick, although they seem to have little intention of ever realesing.
SILVER HAWK is even better than THE TOUCH. More action, more humor (not the campy, BATMAN-style, as this movie's detractors would have you believe), and as villians, it includes BLADE II star Luke Goss, and even better, playing one of his main henchmen, Michael Jai White!!!
SILVER HAWK takes place in the futre where billionareiss Lulu Wong (Michelle Yeoh) lives a double life. In public, she's Lulu Wong. In, well, public, she's also the Silver Hawk, only with a mask on. What distinquises Lulu from other super-heroes, is she actually finds it fun to battle evil-doers.
Her greatest challenge yet comes two-fold. On the one-hand, she is rekindling a romance with police man Rich Man (Richie Jen), whom she studied Kung Fu with at the Shaolin Temple, and who seems to be taking quite a while remembering who Lulu is. He also is hotly pursuing the Silver Hawk, who he is unawrae is Lulu.
On the other hand, she must defeat Alexander Wolfe (Luke Goss), a demented genuis with martial arts skills to match hers and two prostethic arms made of titanium. Wolfe has kidnapped an inventor and is forcing him to turn his latest invention into a mind control device, which Wolfe will use to brainwash humanity and conquer the world.
It certainly is great seeing Michelle back in action. In terms of bith her beauty and her atleticism, you'd never guess she was 42 when SILVER HAWK was released in Asia. Her best battles in the film can be found with Michael Jai White, who has literally one line, but his skills confrim that actions speak louder than words. Michelle trading punches with Luke Goss is also noteworthy.
Alot of reviewers thought SILVER HAWK was a campy, BATMAN-style kung fu movie, but I must diasgree. The action and the humor were both outstanding, and personally, I think it's about time a superhero movie came out of Asia. Even better that the superhero is a woman. Don't listen to the detractors, SILVER HAWK is pure gold!!!!!!!
